This post is for @Susurrus and @AileyGrey 
I figured we should bring it out of the challenge post and chat in a separate topic.
Siofra, hereās an example of Tunisian Crochet. Iāve made a few things with it before but donāt have any pictures right now.
It looks a lot like knitting without it being knitting!
Eeekā¦ since I can do both already, I need to learn this to have a new something to make! I can see where it looks like a regular knit stitch mixed with crochet. I like it! Iām going to have to go down another Pinterest rabbit hole!
@Susurrus its crochet that looks knit. You need a special hook (some look like a knitting needle with a crochet hook on the end and some look like a traditional crochet hook with a long wire attached to the end). You crochet each row and then do a backward pass (which I think is common to knitting, Iām not sure as I have never knitted).
Hereās a video I found!
I moved the reply to this post from the challenge at the same time you added the link to this post Ah great mindsā¦
I am going to definitely take a look at this. I have an appointment at 10 AM but after that, I am going to make it a point to look at this. I have a coupon for Michaelāsā¦ maybe they have the hooks there!
I found a simple tank top pattern I think I want to make that uses Tunisian crochet 
Iām gonna experiment with it probably later lol Iām working on a cabled hooded caplet pattern of my own design that I need to finalize.
Hereās the link to the tanktop pattern ā https://www.joann.com/lion-brand-basic-stitch-premium-sweet-peplum-tank-top/212111555P402.html
@Mistress_Of_Herbs haha! Just slipped into that āhookerā vocabulary for a minute! Crochet hooks and stitches and patterns really can sound like a foreign language!
Oh, speaking of crochet stuff I finally finished the video tutorial for the little bag I made 
It isnāt Tunisian crochet but itās semi-related to our previous conversation lol
I bookmarked the tank top. I will have to look at it!
@Mistress_Of_Herbs Iām going to try, there are no promises though. The last time I made something it was smaller & then it was a while before I could do it again. So Iāll give it a try with & without my thumb & wrist braces. If itās too much, then I will be shipping a ton of yarn to @MeganB
I hope itās not too much for you! 
but I meanā¦Iām always down for more yarn 
Right?? Never enough 
!
I mean thereās enough to go to both of you if Iām being honestā¦ I just found more upstairs in my coffee table compartment & then again in a pile of craft stuff on the other side of the basement. I just have it everywhere since I had to really start slowing down. I put up a good fight though, now I try to stay within my limits for thingsā¦
There was a time though, I was not conceding to having to change what I was physically able to do in any way. Although, now I donāt need a sit-down walker anymore. Physical & occupational therapy paid off that way!
@Susurrus oh no dear i was meaning i cant crochet. I hope u will be able to do them without any issues
Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!
OOh, thatās pretty! But Iām doing good getting a granny square going! Gah! Complicated looking.
Exactly!
Hooray!! And Iām finding my crafting stuff all over the house all the time Youāre definitely not alone!
Iām pretty sure there is yarn under my bed & my husbandās dresser
