A Tunisian Swirlie...

I had no idea what I wanted to do.
This is somewhat a concept piece,
tho I don't have the heart to frog it.
I was thinking it'd be a great way to use up
remnants of some wool...
but what?
How shall I proceed?
Or should I just bind off and
felt it? Hmmmm....

Inspiration Piece: Reverse Engineer Quilt to Crochet

I saw this in the newest Clothilde catalog, and I could have sworn I heard "BOING!" when the "lightbulb" went off in my head. I can SOOOO totally see myself reverse engineering this quilt motif into a tunisian square motif... standby!

As if I don't have enough things to work on at the moment, I can't stand the suspense of mapping out and hooking up a prototype!

OTH: Tunisian & Filet Washcloths



This is my travel project, and a great way to use up oddments of cotton.

With a "J" hook, the center square is done using Tunisian Simple Stitch, and the edging is just two rows of a 2DC, 2CH repeat. It's really a no brainer, makes a nice gift with some fancy soaps etc, for friends.

Now for something different... Tunisian


With all those stitches "actively" on the hook, *NOW* I know why
I need an afghan/tricot/Tunisian hook, which is quite long
and has a stopper at the end.
But I'd say this is a good attempt for a "lefty," who normally has
problems "translating" patterns from words on a page
to stitches off the hook.

At 12:15 this a.m., I had insomnia (again), and thought I'd
tinker with Tunisian, as I had a cro-mag which detailed it,
and thought, "okay, 15 minutes of this and then I'll go to bed."
This swatch is after an hour of tinkering, and it left me so
stimulated (I think crochet can be peaceful when doing mindless
repetitive patterns you're already familiar with; however, I think that
it can be quite engaging, stimulating "problem solving," if you're
working on an unfamiliar stitch.

I think I'll enjoy this a lot more once I get the proper tool for this...
Speaking of which, I'm placing an order at Lacis (link on sidepanel) for
several things, a hook for Tunisian, a prodder for fabric rug hooking, to
name a few.
