Take the loose end of yarn in your left hand and wrap it around two or three fingers of your right hand, creating a loop.  Start at the palm-side of your hand and wrap the yarn over your forefinger. Wrap the yarn around the back of your fingers, past the middle or ring finger, and back up along the palm-side of your hand. You should create a full, closed loop. Hold this loop closed with the thumb of your right hand. Use your left hand to grab the yarn just before the loop. Pull this yarn through the loop, working from the bottom (palm-side) of the loop to the top (thumb-side).  The yarn you grab should come from the side of the yarn still attached to the ball. Do not grab from the loose end. After completing this step, you should see a second loop form. Slide the first loop of yarn off your fingers once this second loop appears. Slide the hooked part of your crochet hook into the second loop your created. Pull down on the loose yarn beneath your loops to tighten the yarn around the hook.  The loop of yarn should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the top of your hook. When you pull down on the yarn, the first loop should turn into a knot and the second loop should close onto the hook. Once the yarn is tightly attached to the hook, you're ready to begin making stitches.

Q: In order to sell shoes, you gotta have shoes to sell. You could buy them directly from a distributor or you could even make them yourself. Just make sure you're getting them for a good rate! You'll need a variety of shoes in just about every size, and multiples at that. This is a large investment, especially if you can't sell them all. If you don't have thousands of dollars to spend on fancy kicks, team up with an existing shoe seller that needs your expertise. With technology these days, almost anyone is capable of almost anything. Whether you have three pairs of shoes to sell or 30,000, you can get your product online. You'll need some sort of storefront to do so – here are the major ones to consider:  Your own website eBay Etsy Craigslist Google Shopping campaign No one will buy the shoe if they know nothing about it. If it's lacking in description, not only is it a deterrent to buy, but it comes off as shady, too, making your website or ad look sketchy – why would a seller purposefully withhold information? Here's what to consider:  List the manufacturer's original size and its international equivalents. If the original size is not known, list length and width measurements inside and out. Describe the color, type (dress, casual, athletic, etc.) and style (oxford, brogue, pump, etc.) as accurately as possible. List the materials the shoe is made from and describe the method of construction if possible. If the shoes are not new, describe the condition specifically noting any flaws. Take clear, well-lit photographs from all angles and show as many as you can. Size is only important for fit. Shoe buyers are usually most interested in style, so photos are very important. Get good photos taken of your shoes, hiring a photographer if you have to. They should be realistic, but flattering. Make sure each shoe is against a white background and every detail can be seen from various angles. Sometimes brands differ in their sizing (length and width) from the norm. If this is the case, include these details, like the length of useable sole. That means measure the shoe inside along the insole from heel to toe. A 9 or 39 in one brand can differ significantly from another. Let's say a Steve Madden 9 may measure 9 and 3/4" while a Jimmy Choo 39 may measure 9 and 7/8". Small differences do matter, especially when buying through a screen. If you include the insole measurement it can save some back and forth questioning with buyers. When it comes to the condition of used shoes, give as accurate a description and documentation as possible. If the shoes are not new, "gently used or worn" can be rather non-descript. Explain how they are used – i.e. "worn twice; some wear on tread, minor scratches on heel, but leather upper pristine." This grants the customer a sense of solace and makes you appear responsible and honest.  Include photos of any flaws or wear. This can help avoid an angry buyer down the line who may feel they were not well-informed and were duped. Small additions such as those to your listings can help avoid delayed contact with buyers or potential buyers who may have questions. The more complete your listing the more attractive it will be to others. If your shoes are a reasonable cost but your shipping rates are outrageous, your customers will find somewhere else to go that's more reasonable. Offer them several options, ranging from super-quick delivery to something cheaper and not so speedy. And make sure the shoes can get there without incurring any damage. Sometimes you can ship items like shoes for less without the box. It's always nice for buyers to have more than one shipping option. Allowing them to choose if they want the original shoe box or not is a good option for saving a little on shipping. If you're a budding entrepreneur (and even if you're not), you'll need a way to get your shoes, well, on the feet of potential customers. Offer deals to first-time buyers and returning buyers. Purchase ad space on other websites, like Facebook. Get word of mouth going in your area so you can slowly expand your audience. Shoes aren't in the same category as a lot of other things – they're something that customers are always looking for a discount on. If you're having trouble selling a specific style, brand, or size of shoe, slap a discount sticker on it. You may see it fly off your shelves at its new cost.
A: Get or create an inventory of shoes. Open up a shop online. Include all the necessary details in the description of the product. Give each shoe a few photos. Include brand-specific differences, too. If the shoes are used, be honest. Work out the appropriate shipping rates. Offer deals and market your site.

Article: Shampoo is not necessary to clean your hedgehog’s quills. In fact, some veterinarians and hedgehog breeders have recommended using only water to clean a hedgehog. If you decide to use shampoo, choose one that will not be harsh on your hedgehog’s skin.  Cat shampoo is a good choice for cleaning your hedgehog’s quills.  Tear-free baby shampoo is another good option.  Since hedgehogs are prone to dry skin, oatmeal shampoo would be a great choice. Oatmeal nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Look for a pet-specific oatmeal shampoo at your local pet store. Other than shampoo, you will need a soft-bristled toothbrush and a few clean hand towels. As an alternative to a toothbrush, you could use a human nailbrush.  The toothbrush or nailbrush are small enough to give your hedgehog’s quills a good cleaning. In addition, these items would protect your hands from getting pricked during cleaning. Make sure the toothbrush or nailbrush is dedicated to  only  cleaning your hedgehog.  Nailbrushes are available at your local pharmacy. If you are cleaning your hedgehog’s quills in a sink, you will also need a rubber stopper. Place your supplies by the bathing area (either the tub or sink) so you will have everything close by when you need it. Use lukewarm, not hot, water, to clean your hedgehog’s quills. Before filling the sink or tub, test the water temperature by running it over your hands. Once the water feels comfortably warm on your hands, fill the sink or tub with two to four inches (5 to 10 centimeters) of water.   Clean your sink or tub before adding the water. Be mindful that hedgehogs tend to urinate or defecate during bath time. If you are using a sink, choose one where you will not be preparing food.  Make sure to use shallow water only in your hedgehog's bath. If the hedgehog rolls up in deep water, then he may drown. After the bath, disinfect the sink or tub.
