Tunisian Help

[TepperWear]

Boy do I feel dumb. I've been crocheting for years, and recently learned some Tunisian. I picked up a dishcloth pattern book thinking that it would be a good way to follow a basic pattern. Well, every pattern starts the same way AND I DON"T GET IT. It says Row 1(RS): With Tunisian hook, ch 35, working back bar of chs and leaving all lps on hook (I'm good through that), pull up lp in second ch from hook, pull up loop in each ch across, work lps off hook. Now, I know how to work lps off hook. You yarn over pull through 1, yarn over pull through 2 to the end. But what does it mean to pull up lp in second ch from hook. Is it just another way of saying the same thing? thanks in advance.

never mind, I'm an idiot, and I just figured it out. Doh!!!

What did you decide it means, then??

Feels pretty good when you figure something out on your own, eh? You're not alone though. I've been doing the "duh" thing at least once a week for eons.

Hey Tepper, I've been surfing this group for tunisian tips for a few weeks now.

One of the things I did was take a class that they had on-line. Now I did not participate in the class in real time, rather I printed out the transcript of the class and sat down, read along and did it in my own time. The instructor ("Kim Guzman" <crochetkim2@yahoo.com>) is planning another session for sometim in January 2007. All you have to do is check for the dates.
