I would like to talk about a scale I recently learned. It is crocheted. I learned it a few months ago to increase my concentration on work and study. and also to set up a small business of my own. I always like to do something small on my own capabilities so I started to do cross shaped. In my early cross shaped days I struggle a lot with the patterns sometimes I don’t get it where the pattern goes through but it continues for some weeks then I calm myself and try to practice a lot how to do it I watch youtube videos and other people and saw other people how they do it and I come myself and practice a lot. After some months I have the confidence on myself that I can do that. People always say practice makes a man better. Practice makes us better. So I do that and now I run a small business of my own which called Crush It! Sun Stars and I sell their small crush it! puppet, the crush it dolls and other things.

I would like to talk about a skill I recently learned. It is crocheting. I learned it a few months ago to increase my concentration on work and study, and also to set up a small business of my own. I always like to do something small on my own capabilities, so I started to make cross-shaped items. In my early days of crocheting, I struggled a lot with the patterns; sometimes I didn't understand where the pattern went. But after some weeks, I calmed myself and practiced a lot. I watched YouTube videos and observed how other people did it, and I practiced consistently. After some months, I gained confidence in my ability to crochet. People always say practice makes a person better. So I did that, and now I run a small business of my own called Crush It! Sun Stars, where I sell small Crush It! puppets, the Crush It! dolls, and other items.
