When I first heard of Tunisian Crochet, I thought "How cool is that? It looks like crochet & knitting!"
So I purchased a set of Tunisian hooks and started learning how to crochet the different types of Tunisian Stitches. I quickly learned that I didn't care for it that much. There's nothing wrong with it. If you know me, you'll know I hate working on things I feel takes too long. Because Tunisian is worked on one row at a time, much like knitting, it takes much longer to work each row.
It's very pretty with worsted weight yarn but takes way too long!
Regardless, I still think it's very pretty and have made projects using my larger Tunisian hooks.
I have recorded a quick video on how to do the Tunisian Simple Stitch (in super bulky yarn of course!)
