  1. That’s really cool. I’ve never tried Tunisian crochet yet, but I’m sure I’ve got one of those special crochet hooks somewhere, purchased at a yard sale!!! I’d like to see what your friend’s finished piece looks like, or a bigger sample swatch!!! So fun :) :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)

      Heather, wasn’t that cool? I’ve never seen or heard of it before, but my friend Sara is amazing. She knows more about fabric arts than I’ll ever know!

    I have made an afghan in tunisian stitch and I am working on a pillow cover. I learned to do the stitch with a double-ended crochet hook(it has the hook on both ends) and you work back and forth. Your friends way looked much easier than the way I have been doing it. I will have to try her way. One great thing about tunisian is the finished piece provides a perfect fabric for doing embroidery designs on. That is what I did with mine. I embroidered (with yarn) a lion on the afghan and the pillow cover has flowers. I can send you a pic if you would like.

    Thanks, Kelly! What a fun afternoon. :) Your son cracks me up “Step your game up, haters.” ahahahahah! We are in trouble, now that we’ve met. :D

    Kelly, have you every heard of or tried locker hooking? It’s another fabric art using a crochet hook on one end and the eye of a needle on the other end. You pull fabric through squares of canvas like latch hook canvas. It’s really not hard and it uses up lots of fabric. I’m working on a rug right now and almost finished. Would take a pic but I have not camera, and the pics on the internet are so much better anyway. :)
