What is Easter and why is it Celebrated?

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. St. Patrick’s Day 2023 will take place on Friday, March 17. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

To embrace equity means to actively support and promote fairness and justice in all areas of society, including but not limited to race, gender, sexuality, and socio-economic status. This can be achieved through various means such as advocating for policies that address systemic biases, promoting diversity and inclusion, and educating oneself and others on issues of equity.

You can work a slip stitch at just about any point after you begin your project. If you already have an active loop on your crochet hook, insert your hook into the spot where you want to crochet the slip stitch. Pull the yarn up through your project. Finally, draw the newly created loop through the active loop on your hook. Once you try these steps a few times, it becomes almost like a single motion. The slip stitch is now complete.😃🪢🧶

First, create a chain (abbreviated as CH) of the length that you wish or is needed for a specific crochet pattern. Skip the first chain (sometimes you might need to skip 2 chains for half double crochets if the chains are counted as a stitch). Now wrap your hook around your yarn once and insert your hook into the second chain from the hook. Yarn over (abbreviated as YO) with your hook. Pull the just yarned over yarn thru the chain. You will now have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over again. Pull the just yarned over yarn through all 3 loops on your hook. You now made your first half double crochet. 🥳🥳🥳

To do a double crochet stitch in the US terms, start by yarning over the hook and inserting your hook into the desired stitch. Then, yarn over the hook and pull the yarn through the stitch. To finish, yarn over the hook and pull it through the first 2 loops on your hook, then yarn over the hook and pull it through the last two loops on your hook.

Single crochet is a stitch that can be worked into chains. It is a shorter stitch, approximately as tall as it is wide. This is a common stitch for hats, shawls, garments, and amigurumi. Place your hook through the loop. Which loop you choose will partially depend on your pattern, but in a basic stitch, it should be the next loop over or the one after that. You can identify the loops by laying your work flat and looking at the bumps along the top edge where you are working. Your hook should be going in the front and out the back of the loop. Catch the yarn. Hook the yarn so that the yarn is facing you. Pull the yarn. Pull the yarn back through the loop. You should now see two loops of yarn on your hook. Catch the yarn again. Hook the yarn so that the yarn is facing you again.Pull the yarn again. Pull the yarn back through the two loops on your hook. You may need to turn the face of your hook down towards your piece. When you are done you should be left with a single loop again. Repeat the process. For the next stitch, avoid the loop which is pulled upward into your current stitch. Go for the next loop instead.

The crochet chain is often how you begin your projects, especially those where you are making something flat instead of round (like a dish cloth, or a blanket). The crochet chain stitch is performed by first creating a slip knot to add your yarn to your hook, and then yarning over, hooking the yarn, and pulling it through the loop on your hook.
