I loved it. It's so easy and so nice. I always loved the stocking net in knitting, now in crochet, that's so nice and so easy. Now a question, how can I make a vest/top/tank, if the crochet hook is so small opposite to the knitting needle. It keeps curling, so can I find the blocking wire at Joan or Michael handcraft store. So if I use those crochet giant hook, will the stitch look like loose more. I am wondering which yarn to use for gian hook. Thank you again.
@supermelodia In regular crochet a giant hook would require bulky yarn, but if you want a drapey fabric, use the big hook with medium worsted yarn in the Tunisian stitches.
@montrealstars60 At the end of the entrelac videos I steam block the afghan. Not everyone has a household steamer, so what you can do is wet your project. Just use a spray bottle and spread it out.
You can either use blocking wires or pins, or simply lay it out on a towel. For acrylic steam is essential. Be sure to not touch the yarn with the metal plate of the iron. You can use a cookie cooling rack on top of your piece, then place the iron on it and use the steam button.

@azianoel00 It depends on what type of hook you have. If you have a flexible hook you can make one solid panel. You basically need a hook long enough to accommodate the width of the piece. If you only have straight hooks, then you will want to make squares or panels & join them together. I will be up loading another video on the Tunisian purl stitch. You can switch to purl to form a border. It should be up in a day or two.
Just subscribed to you, you show the stitches really well. Thanks so much.

@Bethintx1 I can do that no problem, I have a steamer. I, however, never had thought of that method. Thanks for your help.

@jazzyblack01 It's a little thicker than knitting. It's like knitting with rows of chain stitches across the back.
