Picked up a crochet kit from the dollar store. We've never done crochet, but the kit purported to contain all the necessary materials (it does not) and instructions. The instructions are very hard to follow. There seem to be important steps missing.

At this point, I'm going to consult outside sources if necessary, but I'm going to figure this out on principle alone if nothing else.

Spite can be a hell of a motivator.
