My curiosity was piqued by this post by Betsy about Tunisian Crochet. I know I have several hooks-SOMEWHERE! But I gave up and ordered some with my mushroom and elderberry supplements from Amazon-they will be here on Thursday.
Until then, I wanted to try out the instructions
(it's been 40 years since I tried this!)
so I used the too small hook I did find
and some dishcloth cotton because if you are going to get armored fabric, a dishcloth is a good use for it!
What's nice is that I can wedge the hook against my stomach and do the wrapping with my left hand which is a bonus for me!
Nice!! Don't over-do it though....
ReplyDeleteSo that's what those crazy hooks are for. I inherited some from who knows where and never knew what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteNeat - glad you found a way to make it work for you!
ReplyDeleteYour tension looks pretty spot on for having to "make do".
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! Such even stitches for only having one hand to work with. Armored fabric is right. I hope it softens up after washing once I've finished the blanket. I thought of making some dishcloths too.

I have several afghan hooks and use them in my sewing room for turning tubes and threading elastic.
