crochet

I've made a few Tunisian crochet scarves. They make up nice and warm. The hook looks like a crochet hook with a very long shaft. I also hope to try the double ended hooks soon as well as locker hooking (I thing that's what it's called). So much to learn, so little time.

Well, Tunisian Crochet also called the afghan stitch is a little like a cross between crochet and knitting. You use a long crochet hook usually 10 to 14 inches long and you hold your stitches on one pass and close them on the second pass. It makes a beautiful material with a lovely drape similar to knitting. Croknit sorry I posted Crotat which is different. Croknit is done using a double ended crochet hook and you use 2 balls of yarn usually different colors. The result is a beautiful double sided material. So if you croknit a baby blanket with one skein of blue and one skein of white your results would be a blanket with one side blue and the other side white. It's really neat!
