"Where has this been all my crocheting life?"

"

I have been crocheting for 22 years. Twenty-two years of lost place markers, random notes on envelopes, and patterns I abandoned because I lost track. Hook Cookbook changed everything in one sitting.

The repeat color-coding alone made me cry a little. I always thought I was bad at patterns. Turns out I just needed them to be readable. Finally finished a project I'd started three times before.

I pasted a pattern I'd been dreading for months. Three minutes later it was this gorgeous, tappable thing. I actually said "oh my god" out loud. My cat looked at me. I didn't care.
