Tunisian crochet.  For years and years, I would NOT try it.  But, now that I have tried it, I don't know how I survived without it!  As difficult as it may look and sound, it's really the easiest form of crochet to teach and learn.  You will remember from earlier posts that my mother crocheted a scarf and she isn't a crocheter!  I taught her a Tunisian stitch in less than an hour and off she went!  In just three days, she had herself a beautiful scarf!

Here are some links to get you motivated to try out this technique.  And, even if you're familiar with Tunisian, having done the "afghan stitch" in the past, you will love these links to try out some new Tunisian stitches!  Dust off your afghan hooks and give it a go!
