Ah yes Tunisian crochet looks like a lot of fun, it's on my list but just never quite got around to it yet. Good to know that already crocheting bodes well for me, though!

Are you using it to make anything in particular yet, or still in that awkward "making random squares" phase most new crafts go through?

I make a baby blanket every time one of the people in my shop has a baby, and just decided out of the blue to start. So basically one really big awkward square, all out of Tunisian Simple Stitch.

I figure I'll make one blankie out of each stitch, and by then I should be ready for a more complex project.

Sounds like a plan! Looking forward to some pics when they're done 😄

I find Tunisian crochet to be easy to learn if you know how to crochet already. I never could get my head around knitting but crochet has always been my jam. The hardest part for me was finding the right needles. I think if you can knit, you've definitely the brain power to tackle Tunisian crochet, haha!
