A New Skill
Is there a skill related to your hobby that you hope to learn one day? maybe you’re a crocheter who’d also like to knit? Maybe you’d like to learn to knit continental, knit backwards, try cables or attempt stranded colourwork.
I spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon reading others blogs, although I did not comment on any. Mainly because I only recognized a couple of knit designer's names. But I enjoyed reading about people's favorite designers or designs.
A New skill? There are many, obviously I've mentioned my desire to knit socks, which means I need to learn to knit....
But within my skill base of crochet, it would be Tunisian crochet:
From CrochetCabana:
"Tunisian Crochet

This stitch goes by many names. It can be called Tunisian Crochet, Afghan Stitch, Tricot Crochet, Shepherd's Knitting, Hook Knitting, Railroad Knitting {Working Class girls in England waiting for the train to take them to the mills did Tunisian. I'm sure there are more that I haven't found. :-)"
Mainly because it just looks really neat and closer to knit than most other stitches.
I would also love to try Broomstick Lace, but I need a special tool and haven't found it around here. (I know I could get it online, but just haven't looked) It is just so beautiful, the pieces I've seen. But it also looks very fiddley and not sure I could handle that!
So those would be the two skills I would most like to learn in crochet......
Short and sweet today!
I've never tried Tunisian crochet or broomstick lace. But, my mom made wonderful afghans using Tunisian crochet. She also did broomstick lace but I can't recall the projects. She did say it easy!
