A few weeks ago, I decided that it would be a very good thing to have ago at learning something new. I promised Si, no more new crafts (I think he despairs at the thought of more unfinished projects) so technically learning tunisian crochet, isn’t something new: just an extension of what I already know. Right? So I went to Ramshambles,York, where the wonderfully talented Katey showed me how to get started.
I started by learning how to crochet the plain or basic tunisian stitch….
Tunisian crochet is a cross between crochet and knitting,
you crochet one row and then (kind-off) knit the next…
Very quickly your crochet grows…
The crochet does curl: but that is nothing a little bit of gentle
blocking wont sort out. Once we were happy with the basic stitch, we
moved on to crocheting the treble stitch…
Again, you work one row crochet one row (sort off) knit…
Again, your work grows very
quickly…
We then moved on to something a little more difficult:
crochet mesh…
I found this a bit tricky as my tension went really tight: this is bad for tunisian crochet
and very unusual for me! Next we moved
on to colour work…
How pretty! I really
took to tunisian crochet and can’t wait to crochet some more. I just hope I can remember how…
