Faux-Knit

Tunisian knit stitch in the round.


I'm pretty impressed that it fit.



Everett sure did like it :)

... but not as much as he loves sucking on his hand.

Tunisian Shorties

I get so annoyed that the bum looks like crap, but once you put it on the baby it looks fine.

It's blurry, but there is a stitch that I felt like stuck out so bad. However, I notice every single imperfection in anything I make and it's not really that big of a deal.

The orange and green are for Benny. I got him some sweet green high tops to match. The blue pair is for a trade.

Both our babies are about the same age, but my huge child needs huge clothing.

Tunisian Longies - Take 2

Not big enough, but good thing I'm having another one to fit into them! The orange is really even better in person.

I'm becoming a master of tunisian in the round. There aren't any helpful youtube videos online so I basically figured it out myself with the help of a slide show. If someone was new to tunisian I don't think they would get the picture slideshow. I just played around with my double ended crochet hook until I finally got it.

Hopefully, for all my CWCB mamas who want to learn how to do it I'll be able to make a video and get it up sometime this weekend or next.

My Aunt Betty told me I'm capable of writing a pattern, but I really don't know. I've never even read a real tunisian crochet pattern. I just do the math in my head and figure it out as I go along. Heck, I don't even use commerical patterns when I sew.

Right now I don't want to give my pattern up until I decide if I want to sell or not. I'm in the process of trading wool for diapers - once I know what others really think I'll decide.

Tunisian in the Round... take one

Too big in the front, legs too wide, sloppy butt pouch.

It was the first pair of wool I ever washed... someone could have warned me it was going to smell like wet sheep.
