That's really clear and fun. However, the sizing for metric is milliMeters, not milliLiters....hehe. Liters are a volume measurement, like ounces and quarts, whilst Meters is a length/width linear measure. Milli means 1/1000 th.

That's really embarrassing. I made this video 2 years ago and I had to re-listen to that section. At first I thought I just mumbled the word, but I rewound and, sure enough, I said ML instead of MM. I know difference between the two but I guess I experienced a brain fart. That's what I get, though, for doing 5-6 videos in the same day. Oops! Thanks. :)

Will try to make a scarf, do You know how to mix multiple colors. One row could be green, another yellow....

[thecrochetside]

Your best option would be to pick up a new color when you start a new forward pass. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the video. I do regular crochet and knitting. Where do you get the long crochet hooks? Do you think it's possible to do this with knitting needles once I've crocheted a foundation chain?

Thanks good video. Understandable for me. I will try it later.

Thank you and I did find out about the hook with a cable. Thank's again and keep thoes tutorials coming. I have learned so much from them and it's easyer to learn from them then tring to read and understan. I have showed two other crocheters how to do the Tunisian stitch. We are haveing fun with it.

Whenever I work into both loops of the last stitch, that side ends up being shorter and makes my work curve. I've tried loosening up especially on that area, but it doesn't help and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm brand new to Tunisian crochet, but I think the answer to your question is that you use special Tunisian (or afghan) crochet hooks that will hold the stitches, similar to how circular knitting needle cables do. They are hooks with a flexible cable attached. They also have extra long straight crochet hooks, but I don't think those are long enough for afghans.
