In Part One of this series, we learned the basics of crafting research. In Part Two, we dive a little deeper, into finding and evaluating sources.
When people post questions in crafting forums, no matter the topic, the most frequent reply points the questioner to a YouTube link. While many people find YouTube videos helpful, this approach typically does not provide the breadth or depth that many other resources can provide, and not everyone learns well from videos (some people learn better with still photos and diagrams). Add to this the fact that anyone can start a YouTube channel and that there is no guarantee that someone who sounds like an expert is actually an expert, and you can see why this resource is best considered one of many options rather than the single, ideal source.
