Never made the crocodile stitch before so I had to youtube exactly what “rotate work” looked like. This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4in7seykYc gives a really good visual of that rotation. It is NOT working on the other side, but actually turning piece upside down and then repeating the fpdc’s.

Yarn really ticked me off. It had a break and then was tied back together with a huge color change missing. As I wanted both gloves to match, I had to go and buy another skein of yarn and yank out a huge portion until I got to the correct color placement.
