Try to find a balance of Craftsmanship, Magical Craftsmanship, and Control.
For craftsmanship, recipes are currently split between the 2 types in families (share parts of the names). An relatively easy way to tell the difference is to make it once with main hand and once with off hand tool. If the recipe level is somewhat higher than you are (ball park number of +3), the difference in difficulty should be noticeable. Decide which is easier and use that for all other similar recipes.

E.g. Gems, Rings are magic craftsmanship.

A good ballpark number to estimate the craftsmanship value you need is to take the recipe level and multiply by 2. If you have spare equipment slots, use them to boost control. Food can be used to adjust it a little as well.
