[Nfb-krafters-korner] Tunisian crochet for Meg

[meg silkey]

Is it like you crochet a chain and then work the stitches on the hook and 
then work them off and keep going like that until you have the length you 
want.

Hi Meg,
We recently had a class taught by Becky where we learned to Tunisian
crochet. The hook is long like a knitting needle, has a crochet hook on one
end and a stopper on the other end to keep the stitches on. In this type of
crochet, stitches are cast on to the crochet hook sort of like in knitting,
in step one, then crocheted off in step two. It makes a dense and nice
fabric. I still haven't really got the hang of it yet, but hope I will
someday because I do like it.  I just find it awkward to work with a long
fat crochet hook. <smile>

Cathy who is so busy trying out new crafts that she has trouble finishing
one before moving on to the next one.  so fun though! tonight I learned how
to make a flower on a knitting loom.
