I forgot about the needle size thing, I think not sure 6.5 is same a an E , I just use the size I feel like when making granny squares, it gets hard though since I use both the E and G needle a lot and it does make a difference in the size of the square, Also since I am just a hack,(don't do it every day or even month), my yarn tension tends to vary a lot.

I watch videos on YouTube and the crochet different to me as in they hold the hook differently. I swap and change between different things I’m loving loom knitting at the moment but needle knitting is the one that baffles me with tension. I struggle to knit because I want it to look as neat as machine made items and it never does with needles but with loom knitting it almost does.
I haven't tried loom knitting yet, may have to give it a shot, You are left handed? My wife is left handed, and she has a hard time with the right hand crocheting videos also. Me I prefer a book to learn, that way I don't need to keep turning the video off and on, just flip a page.
No luckily I'm right handed and I prefer picture patterns as I can figure out if and where I go wrong
I had to learn the picture patterns, still not real good at it, but I bought a Japanese Crochet pattern book, because it had some nice things in there. Problem of course is I could not read Japanese, but they did have the picture patterns, so I learned them.
That sounds right up my street I’ve been looking at the Japanese crochet patterns and tatting patterns they have some very complicated things in there
