Technique Tuesday: Tunisian

Tunisian crochet (aka. Afghan stitch , Scottish knitting ) is all the rage now it seems!
It's in all my magazines.. even the ones I get from the U.K.,
There are so many books on it now too!
I gotta say.. I love it! 
It's the knitted look without dealing with the needles. Yes please!!!!
Although it's not as fast as regular crochet , it's still faster than knitting. At least for me but I'm a very speedy crocheter!

Yep, I'm just learning it but I'm loving it!

That's my first attempt. A couple of washcloths that turned out pretty nice! Done in the Tunisian simple stitch and the Tunisian knit stitch.



Crochet now from the U.K. Actually has a Tunisian sampler scarf crochet along! And the magazine even came with the hook. Love that magazine.
Please ignore than my scarf colors do not coordinate and look super ugly. But my stitches look good!
I didn't want to use good yarn in case it turned out that I was terrible at it. I'm probably going to ditch this sample and start over with nicer and more coordinated yarns!


Here in this months crochet world magazine was a few more Tunisian patterns including directions for entrelac crochet!!
I'm really loving it too. 

With so many resources and it's growing popularity its a pretty easy technique to learn now. 

Need more visual than a picture,, more guidance? Then try the crochet crowds series of tutorials. 


It's a technique well worth learning with many many possibilities!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

Just alittle hoop action

I think I'm getting better! hmmmm... I've got enough bruises from the hoop I should be better! I still can't hoop on my chest for long... and there's a good reason for that! lol!!!

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!!  On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!!  So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize.  I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
