Crochenit

[princsstrish]

I just got a few books in an Ebay transaction that use the "Crochenit" tool. Has anyone heard of this, used it, know where to get it, have any information on it?? I can't seem to find it at ACMoore but there might be a few stores that might have it online. I don't know if it's worth getting or not.

 

Thanks!!!

I don't know how to crochetnit but I think I have seen the hooks and instruction books in Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

Crochetnit and Cro-knit are both the same thing. Which is a variation of Tunisian Crochet. Cro-knit just allows you to use two colors to get a fabric that is predominately a different color on each side. Here is more information and source for the hooks. There are lots of sites on line with patterns, techniques and such. Just put Cro-knit in a search engine and you'll find them

i understand that you use a double ended or an afghan hook for this stuff ..

the crochenit hook is the one that is a size M (i think) and double ended. they are yellow with a green cap on one side and a red cap on the other. i :)h my crochenit hooks (i have the cable hook as well)

Rebecca, where did you get your cable hook? I remember seeing one long before I knew what they were for, so didn't think I needed it. WRONG! :rotfl Now I'd like one to play with and see if I really want to commit to that large of a project!
