A note about the track name for “Curing”: Track 33 in Sacred Stones’ sound room is called “Curing” in the PAL version (which I played), while the same track is called “Healing” in other regions. However, since this track plays when the status staves are used, and since track 34 (called “Healing” in PAL) plays when healing staves are used, I believe that the PAL localisation corrected the naming, or at least made it more accurate by switching its title with track 34.

Reverse Slipknot Round Start – another crochet round start tutorial

WhimsyHeath 2020-05-10 | This is a tutorial for a method of starting crochet in the round which I’ve been developing, using a simple slipknot. While the magic loop is very useful, there are some reasons you may want to you this one instead in a few situations. While I have shown what I have developed, crocheting isn’t necessarily my forte, so I encourage you to experiment with these ideas and develop them.
