HEY!!!!

I know this has nothing to do with crocheting, but btw I love this stitch!!...but anyway I have a question - when you recorded this how did you get ur camera in that angle!?!?! I want to put up vids but i NEVER have a good angle, so do I need a camera stand or something....Thanks:)

@misspig124 Hi there! I use a tripod (camera stand) and basically wrap my arms around it while I crochet in front of the camera (kind of looks like I'm hugging it). It's extremely uncomfortable to do so, but it gets the correct camera angle for the video.

Can you make a tutorial for the crochet ring box pleez?

[naztazia]

@britt1958 Hiya - at this time I'm taking a break from making videos, but will put your request on my to-do list. Take care!

@noodletech30 Got mine with a starter crochet set at WalMart. I'm sure they have them separately

[saved5860]

I bought all the items I needed to do Tunisan crochet but NEVER could figure it out. Now I think I got it watching this video. Thank you Naztazia!!!

I love your tutorial. were can I find the special afghan hook? I have been looking all over in stores and on line. what is that size hook your using.

[noodletech30]

where can you find an "afghan hook"?

[sweethoneythoughts]

@Igallant100 (possible answer) I would suggest using a double end crochet needle that would be perfect for the Afghan/Broomstick stitch. Or if you could find a circular crochet needle like the circular knitting needles that would probably help with making a blanket also.

@lgallant100 I have wondered that myself. Do you just make panels and then sew them together to get the width you want? I'm sure the answer is common sense but as much as I like to crochet, I'm not very experienced at it.

[lgallant100]

Quick Question: If you're making a blanket, what do you do if the hook is not long enough to fit all the loops on one row? Do you fit as many as you can, and then start with an empty hook again and continue until you have finished that row?
