Tunisian Crochet Stitch

Hello everyone!  I started to crochet Tunisian Crochet Stitch as this had been a project that I would like to start with from the beginning...Tunisian Crochet often referred to as Afghan stitch.  It combines the techniques of both crochet and knitting...to produce a strong, elastic fabric.  This is what I started with an acrylic/wool worsted yarn, you probably know that this type of stitch your project will curl up, don't be worried it will flatten it once you adorn the sides of your project with edgings...or better yet, ensure to use a 100% pure cotton worsted yarn...I am going to show you some images here how they differ from an acrylic/wool yarn and a 100% pure cotton worsted yarn.  I will be showing you also on my next posting on a video how to start a Tunisian Crochet Stitch.  For the meantime, just take a look at the difference between an acrylic yarn and a 100% pure cotton yarn..
