I've just completed my first Tunisian crochet blanket (60" x 60")for a charity supplying blankets for orphan Rhinos, their carers and anti poaching rangers. I was so upset that it was so slanted even after blocking (which I also messed up using steam on acrylic wool). Even a border didn't help. So to find out slanting/bias is quite common, is a relief. As the blanket is required urgently for a brave ranger, I have packed it up and sent it off and hope he will excuse the weird bias but stay warm. <br />Clearly I need to learn a lot more before taking on such a large project 😬😜 UKIngwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973681089894634618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909962350069575355.post-72805105306466327652017-04-09T07:58:20.891-07:002017-04-09T07:58:20.891-07:00Thank you for your kind words!

I like Tunisian's ability to create a canvas for crewel work and cross stitching. Beyond that, I haven't been 100% wild about it, maybe precisely for reasons you pointed out, so I set learning it to the side for now.<br /><br />Your images there definitely show a density difference between established stitches and what you're playing with. It's easy to imagine how that will help with the feel of the fabric as well as how it moves. Thank you *so much* for sharing your work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898311279323737165noreply@blogger.com
