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!
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.
