just a suggestion, but it works with fuzzy yarn
try counting your stitches with a bright light behind the yarn instead of in front of it so you can see the spaces.

I always sit by a window for natural light. Also, If you put a white sheet or something on your lap it helps.

I agree working with black yarn without LOTS of light is awful!!

I didn’t have a light I could shine underneath, but putting something white under it fixed it! Apparently, my increases weren’t always “increases” so the count was always off. I’ve frogged the last 4 rows at least 3 times- never mind the 16 rows I frogged over and over and finally threw it against the wall in disgust.
I gotta say, we crocheters are
STUBBORN! ( in a good way).
Thanks everyone!

Every time I even decide to use black on my own, I want to kick myself in the butt.

I have to sit outside with the sun to crochet with any dark colors. Also a lot of bright lights too.

The white sheet along with extra light helped significantly.
