Front Post Double Crochet

Um, how did I not know that this exists?

I accept that despite doing it for forever, I am a novice crocheter. I constantly have to look up stitches. The most adventurous thing I've tried is a Y-stitch. I stick to safe projects that involve double crochet and granny squares. But I was amazed when looking at a pattern on Ravelry today and saw that it called for a front-post double crochet, which I've never used. So I did, and voila! Enlightenment!

This will definitely provide fertile ground for new projects...
