Hi Nekeshia I am trying to do my first graph afghan with tunisian stitch and have done two passes and my stitches are way too loose how do I corrcet thsi? Mine looks like loose loops and i guess I have made mine way too loose. So frustrating thought I was doing it right then find out is is way too loose. If you can give me any tips or tricks to help me out I sure would appreciate it.

Rachel,
Tunisian all the way, baby! I discovered it over the Fall last year and I am loving it! I’ve made a scarf in tunisian and then because it leaves you with a pattern that is like the backing for cross stitch, I cross stitched snowflakes over it. I wish I had a camera so I could show it to you, but trust me, it really came out nice!

Back again Rachel! Entrelac tunisian is done in diamond shapes that are joined together – you create the line as you go along, so you don’t have to stitch them together. The next line up is then worked on to the one you have just created. It’s very easy. The book I recommend which showed the method really clearly is called “Easy Tunisian Entrelac”. Might be worth while investing in a copy! Here’s to rambling – with a crochet hook! Cheers, Sheila. XX
