Angie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I have ordered a 36cm long 4mm tunisian crochet hook to have a go at tunisian afghan crochet, sort of knitting with a crochet hook, seen it on utube when hunting for knooking . So going to find a book or a pattern and try it.Anyone doing it already ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thank you .I am eager to give it a go and hunt down a few patterns. Crochet is less painful on my hands, but i have seen a knittingaid for hand support for arthritis sufferers and i am thinking of buying one. I prefer to knit in the round where i can , as i use knit pro circular needles, much comfier on the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ems Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Very quick in such chunky thick cotton! I used this yarn .. DY321 Thick Cotton from here.. http://www.texere-yarns.co.uk/texereshop/Dye_Yourself_cotton_yarns.html and dyed it I think I chained 10, and then when I had done a few rounds.. whenI bound off I just went all the way round the edge picking up a stitch as if to bind off so you get that pretty chain all the way round the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
