Crochet techniques to learn

New techniques (or new to me)

Russian join -- Check! Called "long splice" by my Navy veteran father.
Magic ring -- have done one successful one from the video at Planet June. OK, now have done two.
Making a solid circle based on a magic ring --
Making a hemisphere --
Standing dc --
Chainless turning dc -- Hm. Not so successful.
No-chain starting row, sc and dc -- Check! with referring back every so often to instructions
Mattress join for square motifs -- Check!

In making lengths of the wide Irish edging, I have learned how to make neat picots, picot trefoils, and 3-tr clusters.

In making the bargello hanging, I learned to count, count, count every element, and to do long dc -- reach down to second row below. It is also used in the kitty-cat pattern.
