Tunisian Questions?

[baricrazi]

Sorry I accidentally posted this in the wrong place. Can a mod please move this to the Crochet Help section. Thanks.

 

Ok I have a graph that I want to do in Tuinisian crochet. I unserstand how to do Tunisian and have been practicing. However, I have never seen how to change colors using Tunisian. If someone could let me know how to do that I would appreciate it. Also how in the world do I fit allthe loops on the hook all the way across for the width of the afghan. Maybe this is the part I don't understand but that would be 150 loops. I have a Tunisian hook but there is no way I am going to fit 150 loops on the hook at the same time.

 

Thanks!

As for fitting all the loops on a hook, for that many loops it's best to use a Tunisian hook with a cable attached. These hooks are made to hold tons of loops. Check out this site for these hooks: http://www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?CATID=82327&PRODID=97303&AID=10273743&PID=673727
