How about if you require that the student know Tunisian crochet to be able
to take the class or to have taken Beckies class.

Henry,

Without putting much thought into my answer, which could be a dangerous
thing, Cro Hooking could probably be taught as a Monday Night Chat or a
Pop-Up class, as long as participants have a solid understanding of single
crochet and/or Tunesion.  Participants would have to gather supplies prior
to the class, and participation during the class would be strongly
encouraged.  I'm not sure how these 3 requirements fit into Monday Night
Chats or Pop-Up classes.

Good Morning Annette and Becky, Annette, could this be taught as a pop up
class or maybe a Monday night chat?
Becky, yes, I do believe that Terry P and I got our tunesian or Cro Hooks
with stoppers from Horizons for the blind.
We'd love to see a Cro hooking class as a follow up to the Tunesian Crochet
class. ( Strong hint, hint. )

Oh! Wow! Rock and rol! Thank you Annette! This is a perfect follow to
Tunisian!
Is it Horizon for the blind that has the hooks with the stoppers? Do they
have a book or two?

Hi All,

As mentioned in my previous post, here is a description of Cro Hooking.

Like Tunisian, Cro Hooking is a combination of knitting and crocheting.  It
takes to passes to complete one row.  The first time you load the stitches
on to the needle, and when done, it looks like a knitting needle filled with
all of your stitches.  The second pass is where you work all of the stitches
off of the needle until you have only 1 stitch left.

Those of you who know how to do Tunisian are saying, so what is the big
deal, this sounds just like Tunisian, and you are correct.  The next step is
where it differs.

Cro Hooking is worked with 2 contrasting colors of yarn.  When the work is
done, one color dominates one side of the fabric, and the other color
dominates the opposite side.  The finished fabric is reversible, and looks
impressive with little effort.  To achieve this, you switch colors to work
each row.  Remember, working a single row requires 2 passes, so you would
use the same color of yarn to complete those 2 passes.  In order to achieve
the visual effect, I described above, you work into the stitch post of the
previous row instead of into the actual stitch when loading your needle with
stitches.

HTH,

Annette
