Another 'Ta Dah' Tunisian crochet scarf, cowl but definitely not mobius type of thing!


I am beginning to think all of my 'Ta Dah' moments maybe like this...I have finished my Tunisian Crochet thingamebob,  I wore it proudly to work today.  I knitted with the Recycled Sari Silk Waste Yarn and then I loved the way it looked in Tunisian Crochet - Simple Stitch .  Unfortunately it is a much denser stitch, so the same amount of yarn did not go nearly as far as Garter and Drop stitch.  I thought I would try and make some sort of Mobius twist scarf/cowl but I was foyled again.  I think a true mobius twist has to be made in one piece rather than seamed.  I managed to get my 14 year old son to model the 'Thingamebob' as he is far more beautiful than me!  My next couple of projects are dish cloths, I shouldn't go far wrong with them!  I also have a 'Lucy bag' from Attic 24 in progress.

    I think all this modelling has gone to his head, he will be charging me next! I am surprised he did this for nothing...he must be tired :)

    Well Done to your glamarous assistant (sorry if I Debbie Mc Gee'd him a bit there) for modeling said garment! Love the colours they seem to have a lovely sheen.
    I must give this Tunisian crochet lark a stab.
    Love Tickety-boo xxxx

    Hey There! Love the yarn!!! The colors are my favs! Okay- I've tried figuring out the mobius twist as well, after my sister sent me a cowl with that on the label. Sorry, but it's too much for my brain to try and figure out, I'd seam it too... but YAY for you!!! Love it. XOXO Ursula

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts.
