Reading notes

#

• Deliberate practice means intentionally working on weak points, whether that is learning a new stitch or a new framework or language.
• Problem-solving appears in both crafts when a person has to fix dropped stitches, pattern mistakes, bugs, or logic errors.
• Creative solutions matter because there is often more than one workable way forward in programming, and crochet patterns can be adjusted when the available yarn does not match the pattern.
