Tunisian Crochet

I recently received a little surprise gift from my dear friend Riki. It's a size 10 Tunisian or afghan crochet hook :

Always wanted to try this out so I managed to get hold of a tutorial and crochet this little swatch:

It's not as difficult as I thought it would be and the large size hook makes crocheting real fast. I like the texture and it looks good for my first swatch, don't you think? This will be a beautiful stitch  for cowls and wraps.
