MORE ON TUNISIAN

Once you’ve checked out the book I reviewed, Tunisian Crochet by Sharon H. Silverman, you might want to find some more information about tunisian crochet on the ‘net. Lucky you! I’ve done the research for you. There’s a lot of resources available. While I LOVE having a book to hold onto as an easy reference in my lap and on my bookshelf, I also love this infinite library on my desk – the one we call the internet.

So, here are some sites you might want to check out:

ARNie at chezcrochet has this for you:

There are stitch tutorials for a bunch of things you’ll want to try out and links to sites with free patterns to practice on real projects.

There are free patterns for a scarf and a shawl at this site:

Kim Guzman, always one of my favorite resources, has a free tunisian hat pattern and this absolutely lovely afghan that can’t be reproduced in any other form of crochet. Kim’s patterns are well written and quite inexpensive.
