WIP


I have started my first project for Tunisian crochet. It's a mobius wrap called Mystifying Embrace on the cover of this book :



This is my progress so far and it is slanting towards the right :


40% Bamboo 40% Merino 20% Nylon
Colour: Sage

I chain 68 instead of 80 because I only have 2 hanks of this sage colour yarn totalling 700 metres. It now measures about 13 inches for the width. Looks like it's going to be a small wrap.  Hopefully after blocking it will be bigger and solve the slanting problem.

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.
