Hippo territory… flung or fluffed? ✔ What that spinning tail really means. ✔ Why males parade the mess. ✔ Safe viewing distance that matters.

Need to add some touchable texture to your next project? Try the loop stitch! The traditional way of crocheting a loop stitch can be a bit complicated, but did you know there’s a much easier way? Instead of working your loops in the back of your work, this method allows you to work them in the front. Instructions: Place your thumb behind the working yarn then pull out/down to create a larger loop. While keeping the loop around the thumb, work your stitch as normal. Repeat for every stitch. | Yar
