Since two people have asked, let me say here that left-handed crocheters are welcome! All the motifs are symmetric, and the stitches are mostly symmetric, so it should not matter if you "crochet the other way".

Have done part of a practice piece, and so glad that I am doing this. Discovered I'm not yet getting the join neat enough. All the rest is going well, and now I can focus on learning to do the join/corner. Also, I picked a square with 148 colour changes! I thought it was pretty. #grannylifecrochet

Happy to get on a Zoom call to discuss the join if you like -- talking with you about it and showing how I do it would help me figure out how to make a better video about that exact part. It's definitely the hardest bit

Well, I frogged the partial practice piece that did not go so well at the join, so that I could have the yarn for a second practice, and I am very happy with the way this one looks. Just finished round 9.

It may just be that there’s a lot to take in the first time: picking up the carried thread, doing the colour changes and picking up in the other three corners. And translating from US terminology…With all those sorted out, I am confident about learning the join!!
