Problem: Article: Yarns come in a variety of “weights,” meaning some yarns are thin and delicate while others are chunky and thick.  The thinner the yarn, the more stitches you have to knit to create a length of fabric. The lightest weight — "fingering" — would call for a lot of yarn and time to create a simple hat. This pattern calls for a nice medium-weight yarn: "worsted" yarn.  Look on the yarn's packaging for the weight. "Worsted" yarn is signified by the number 4. Remember to choose an appropriate fiber. You probably wouldn't want to wear a hat made out of something itchy and uncomfortable! Cotton, acrylic, and wools, or blends of these fibers are all good choices. Make sure to choose a color you'll enjoy and won't mind wearing. Cheaper yarns can be rough and uncomfortable, so make sure to give the yarn a touch-test before buying it. To accurately test how it will feel on your head, test it by touching the yarn to the inside of your arm, or to your neck. Simply feeling it with your hands may not suffice. You'll need about 200 yards for this pattern. This should be about one skein of yarn, depending on the brand you choose. Each yarn weight calls for a different sized knitting needle. The yarn’s packaging will tell you what size needle you should use. For worsted yarn, like we’re using in this pattern, the Craft Yarn Council recommends using needles sized from 7-9. For this pattern, we’ll split the middle and use size 8 needles.  When you think of needles, you might think of two separate sticks. But, “knitting in the round” (making a tube fabric like a beanie or sock) calls for circular needles. Circular needles are attached by a length of plastic, so your stitches are always in the same place instead of being split up between two different needles. Circular needles come in different lengths, too. For a hat, choose a 16" size 8 needle. If the plastic connector is too much longer than 16", it will get in the way of your knitting. When you're knitting on two separate needles, you can see clearly when you've reached the end of the row. You run out of stitches and have to flip your knitting over. On circular needles, though, you never "run out of stitches." To keep track of where each row begins and ends, buy a stitch marker.  A stitch marker is usually a small, circular piece of plastic. You'll slip it onto your needle when you've finished casting on your stitches. When you're knitting each row, you'll know you've come back to where you began when you reach the stitch marker. You’ll likely have scissors just laying around your house, buy you might need to buy a tapestry needle from a craft store. A tapestry needle is just like a sewing needle, but the eye is wide enough to allow yarn through. You'll use them to sew in the ends of the yarn when you finish the hat.
Summary: Choose a yarn. Use circular needles sized for your yarn. Buy stitch markers for knitting in the round. Have scissors and a tapestry needle to finish the hat.

Problem: Article: If you're not sure how you present yourself to others, think about the things that people have told you about yourself. Think about the things people have told other people about you. Ask a trusted peer what type of reputation you have. There can be lots of different reasons why you have the reputation you do. Take some time to determine why exactly you have this reputation. Where did the opinion of you come from?  Is your reputation based on things you actually have said or done? Is it based on things you have posted, shared, or commented on online? Is it based on misperceptions, gossip, or outright lies? Understand that your reputation is not always an accurate reflection of the real you. It is how people view you, and people can be wrong.  Ask yourself if your reputation truly represents who you are as a person. Make sure that you don’t let the negative things people think about you turn into negative things you believe about yourself.  Always remember that you are a great person that deserves to be treated with respect, no matter what your reputation is.
Summary: Figure out what exactly your reputation is.You may already know how people perceive you, but sometimes you may not know specifically what your reputation is. Figure out why you have this reputation. Separate your reputation from your self-image.

Problem: Article: The American Academy of Micropigmentation and the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals provide microblading certification to much of the English-speaking world. As such, look for training classes approved by at least one of the two boards, meaning they follow the organization’s official regulations and are run by a society-certified instructor. The SPCP and AAM maintain lists of certified trainers on their official websites. Due to microblading’s boom in popularity, lots of for-profit training classes have popped up around the world. Avoid classes that are under 100 hours long or make no mention of the AAM or SPCP. Though some of these classes provide accurate training, many are scams and few will get you closer to official certification. Scam courses are often less than 6 days long, extremely cheap, or advertise the inclusion of a free microblading kit. After finding a good class, enroll with the instructor, pay any required fees, and attend. Expect to work for at least 100 hours with the time divided into class study, homework, live practice, and teacher demonstrations. If AAM and SPCP trainers do not live in your area, travel will most likely be required. Most full courses cost between $4000 and $5000. Expect to take off work for about 1 week in order to attend. Make sure this documentation includes how many hours you worked and has your instructor’s official signature. In addition, with the model or patient’s consent, make sure you take photos of any live work completed. This is essential for both the AAM and SPCP exams, which require proof that you completed 100 hours of training.
Summary:
Look for classes approved by the AAM or SPCP. Avoid classes that provide less than 100 hours of training. Enroll in and attend the training class. Get official documentation that shows you attended and passed the class.
