Tunisian crochet

I crochet.  I do not knit very well and when I do I concentrate on socks but I crochet a lot.  The Purl Soho blog put up a tutorial on Tunisian crochet and I decided to give it a try.  They, of course, suggest fancy yarns.  I picked up some cheap cotton from Joann's.  I did try making a washcloth.  

I would say that I it was not hard.  I would need some new hooks if I to make something bigger.  It is an odd fabric to me but then I have been crocheting for many years.  If I find a pattern I might like to try, I think I would go for it.  But currently, wash cloths are fine.

Our computer is giving us fits.  I may or may not be back on tomorrow.  I hope I got everything backed up because I have put about six hours into design over the last few days.  I am waiting on okays.  Small steps forward and soon my letterpress will be used.
