I think I lost a few brain cells here but I made umm….. something? But I think it's cuz I have a small hook and thin yarn. Gonna try again with a bigger hook next time so that I can actually see what I'm doing lol😂

thank you. i was watching last night and finally understood the overall mechanics of the steps. it was tripping me up so bad. also THE TENSION. i didn't get it at first, kept going. 1) it keeps the yarn from falling off the hook when you pull through. 2) the right tension allows you to make looser loops so you CAN pull through. BUT the only thing that was missing… it was a little hard to understand how the project was being held. when i kept going, i ended up rotating so the tool was level and so were the loops. so i understood better what was actually going on. (i also sloooooowed you down and also replayed and went back a buncha times.)
one of the best things is what i'm calling "the triangle". where you have the yarn over your index finger. it's like a triangle and the OVER vs UNDER concept. i realized that the pattern was: go through hole – OVER – pull back through ONE LOOP – go back through – go UNDER – pull back through TWO loops – repeat on next hole. and that you SKIP the first hole when you start after rotating work.
also that your very first line, you only have ONE loop on top when you go through the hole.
and for the lines after that, you have TWO loops on top.
^^^ this right here gave me the understanding of what it looks like to go through the hole PROPERLY. when beginning, sometimes the holes are a mess or too tight to really get what you want to be where. you also showed on your very nice work this almost cardigan pattern of the top two stiches and that you want THOSE on top. so immensely helpful.
i have my old trapezoid failures from a few years ago in a little box. i forgot i had it. but i compared with my frankenstein from this time and the whole look of the weave changed. in older tuts it was not clear about tension and i thought it was supposed to be as tight as i made it. nope! so i FINALLY feel like i got somewhere!
i also didn't bother counting on this effort becuase i expected it to be fukked. but with seeing the actual holes, i just went off that. from the first few lines of ohgod ohgod itsjacked ughthisisn'tworking…. i just kept going and then things started making sense and coming together. thaaaaaaaaaank you! you got me over that real frustrating blockade i was in for years and had put this all down (for years).
Can’t do it I can’t even do the slip knot
