Tunisian crochet.

I have had to give up knitting and crochet so you are welcome to have my Tunisian crochet hooks. I have three. PM me your address if you would like me to post them to you.

I suppose it could be like using a circular needle for knitting instead of the straight pins?

Hobbycraft sometimes do courses, I am not sure if they would put one on if enough people were interested, if there is a shop near you.

I cannot crochet although i have tried many times, but if it is more like knitting perhaps I'll have a go!

Can't ask in my local wool shop as that recently closed. I'm tempted by the flexible hooks as they are nice and long. I want to make a blanket using entrelac Tunisian crochet, but with larger squares than the YouTube video shows.

I tried it in the 70s the one thing I remember is that it can produce a very rigid cloth so if that is happening use a bigger needle to loosen it up. A lady in my quilting group made a beautiful cushion using a wool that was variegated in colour soft heather shades.was tempted to try it again.

I volunteer in a charity shop and two of the customers were raving about Tunisian crochet. They go to a group which meets in our local boat museum. Perhaps you could see if there are any groups near you that you could join. Your wool shop may be a good place to enquire.

Mmmm, had never seen this before so utubed. Dont know that it does anything for me. Looks like adapting crochet to knitting technique and i am not into knitting.
Sorry I am not much help, am I? Good luck with it, and hope to see your new hobby giving you much pleasure! Please show us your efforts when you have mastered it.
