only slightly OT: tunisian crochet

Susan Hartman · 2008-05-29T15:45:55+00:00

We were discussing Tunisian crochet/afghan stitch awhile ago. I was intrigued by a project I saw on "Knitting and Crochet Today" on PBS some months ago, but had trouble finding a reasonably priced HUGE Tunisian crochet needle. Well, I finally got one and am ready to get started. And in a serendipitous spot of synchronicity (say THAT ten times!), the show was repeated last week - just the second time I ever tuned in! (Usually it's a disappointment when that happens, but not this time).So last weekend I struggled with figuring out the stitch, and gave up. Today I looked at online tutorials, with the intention to start over again tonight. And the light just went on --- click! -- Tunisian crochet is rather like horizontal stitching, rather than the normal "vertical" approach! The stitches are formed side-to-side rather than up-and-down. AHA!It should be easier when I start over later today! Sue

I thought everyone had learned after that Puppy person who dogged the footsteps of someone who posted here - can't think of her name now, she doesn't post anymore.

No, no

I meant trying to stop this current round - thought I'd removed us and hadn't

Karen removed RCTN, which was intentionally put back in by the person who responded. I can't help it if people choose to be jerks and undo my precautions.

Sorry about top-posting before: this is just to change that awful and too-long subject line.
