Experimental with square looming.
I decided to try annew pattern inside the frame. left is the new pattern and right (in the first picture) is the "normal" knotted pattern.
People usually dismiss the squares for crochet which is not. It's more closer to weaving combined with embroidery.

1. Both are beautiful.
2. The one on the right in the first photo -- I wonder if someone waffled over this pattern or... ? 😂 /j
@ishe Oh yes, I often hear about the squares being waffles.
I literally made a jacket and dedicated it to name it "waffle"
(I sold it 2 weeks after I finished it XD)
@ishe
It is normal for me not to sell things.
I have about 40 things
and in the 5 years I sell. I sold 6 things in total.
The reason I don't sell is poor marketing and "too expensive"
even while my price is fair and I often just get out of my costs.
@ishe Oh yes, really.
It doesn't help that when entering a selling website most people are excited about also say "I sell every week a few things on Vinted" or something, that puts expectations way too high.
I do think I would sell better if I was better at marketing. But I'm inconsistent and often forget to do it, as well lack the energy to do it and get overwhelmed to do it.
I have the 'wonderful' sense of "YES IT IS JULY, I MADE A BEANIE, LETS PUT IT IN MY SHOPS" it won't sell mid-summer
@ASF Friends and I are working together to create a collective of creatives who want to work together -- collaborate, have extra minds to put to the big questions, like business taxes or how to run it legally. We're just getting started, but are hoping it'll grow.
It's really started to give me more confidence in my own future with my work. Highly recommend finding like minds to share the burden and journey with.
perhaps we could all connect over a tea 
@ishe
Belgian people are great people.
One of my neighbours migrated from belgium to here, he is a satisfying neighbour but also very Belgian.
I'll keep you updated. I think it will take a while though 😅
@ASF Thanks so much. And they truly are wonderful people. One friend and I have been sharing snacks over video chats.
Turns out some of the same snacks are in both countries.
@ishe
Oh these, their taste and structure are very different from each other. Both taste good!
Also ✨stroopwafels✨ are the best
@ishe Schnitzel is .... I don't know how to describe it in ze English?
It's meat but flat as pancake. and there is a sort of thingy a bit around it???
it tastes GOOD
@ishe Oh fair!
Just in case, if you suspect it because of social media posts. Don't take them too literally.
For example Autism and ADHD have literally the same symptoms, the reason why one is different from the other is the "why" we do things a certain way.
Like, according to social media I should have ADHD, but I know it's just my Autism.
I just want to warn in case. 😅
@ASF I appreciate the warning. It's actually kind of odd and interesting to me how I came to suspect.
My best friend of 27 years and I talk practically every day. In early 2022, I was a relatively new TikTok spectator. I would occasionally come across posts which seemed adequately educational when it came to learning a little more about different people groups [auto-immune, autism, ADHD communities]. My bestie suffers from FMS, so I'm always trying to learn more so I can be the best support possible...
I never liked or saved any of the posts I saw because I wanted to steer clear of that side of the algorithm since I believed those videos didn't apply to me beyond an education which may or may not be correct... [1]
