what does it mean to block your work. I was watching somone else video and they said that you could block your work

[CraftyAndy]

The polish look of blocked garments add to their shape and professional appearance. Even yarns marked "no blocking needed" benefit from this treatment.

Wet blocking means you immerse a garment in water, pinning it to a blocking board. Drying it to size.

In Dry blocking the item dry when you pin it into shape. You add moisture in one of several ways. Spray evenly with a spray bottle, or pass a steam iron over it, not on it from 6 to 8 inches to avoid felting , unless you desire tha.

Remember to be careful about judging any style, it it works for you go for it and have fun. People get caught up in must , ought to, should and forget to have fun with a hobby. Elizabeth Zimmermann/Meg Swansen are the greatest examples of Craftying and Having fun. I am having fun and am an amateur video producer. Having FUN all The way!

Thank you for the great video :)

Makes it look easy. Also good idea to only start with six stitches to practice.

@wifechadly Watch this video in a new windowDouble Ended Tunisian Crochet Hook

[ferbasar]

O yes I found. You can't believe the places I found. Dolar stores, Vintage places, garage stores and so on. I have like over 10 tunisian crochet hooks now. As soon as I see one I buy it rite away...

Thank you very much for thinking about me:)

I had a hard time find a tunisian hook myself, but then I live in Italy. I only found the thinner ones. A number 5 was the biggest I could find.

Where do you live? Hope you found one after all

[wifechadly]

Thanks for your help !

The double ended hook is called a "Cro-Hook" and it is used with 2 skeins/hanks of yarn. It seems to work like each row you can alternate yarn, so you can make a reversible garment The afghan hook it longer (if you're working a big garment you'll have lots of loops on at once) and also it typically has an end so that the loops won't fall off.

Personally, I think it is more important to have an afghan hook than a cro-hook.

[wifechadly]

Thank you for the informative videos.

What's the difference between the double ended hook and the regular afghan hook ?

I want to teach myself but I bought a regular afghan hook 13 inches.

What can you do with the double ended hook ?

I'm confused, craftyAndy, aiutami, per piacere

thank you! I tried doing this but I knew I was doing something wrong and now I know what.

now, to go buy an afghan hook!

[ferbasar]

I live in Canada... I looked at all the stores you listed. None of them have it...

Even looked at their website...

I am going to make my own out of a branch of something...

Again thank you very much...
