I'm sure you know this, but you are such a good teacher! (I'm a college professor and really appreciate when people can break things down in a way that is both encouraging and well-scaffolded). If I ever decide to put down my two sticks and pick up a hook, I know where I'm going for help. (I think I originally found you via yarn snob reviews and have stayed for the generally good vibes)

Love your tutorials. You work at a pace that works for me and I love the way you show where the hook goes. Thanks.

Toni you are an amazing teacher! I love the rhythm of tunisian crochet, I’m working on the overlook wrap and am loving it. Thank you ❤

I'm a knitter and crocheter. I love doing the tunisian knit stitch ever since doing your Loveland shawl pattern. Now I'm stashbusting some yarn by doing a diagonal blanket in the TK stitch. Thanks for these other stitch ideas!!

I’ve been knitting for 62 years 😊. I’m now 82 …I’ve also crocheted almost as long. About 3 years I purchased a whole set of Tunisian crochet hook from KnitPicks to learn Tunisian crochet. Ive been watching you and had joined crochet academy and have been watching you and have fallen in love with that spectacular shawl scarf with I think 7 different patterns! Thank you so much! I’m not in love with crochet sweaters but I think using a Tunisian stitch for a cardigan would be fabulous! Thanks again!

I don't necessarily have a favorite. I just enjoyed watching you teach. And as many have said, you are a wonderful teacher. The part about "in case you get stuck" or "...know how to fix it" means a lot to me. Learning a new stitch can be frustrating sometimes, but you help us know where the mistake might be. That keeps me crafting. ❤ Thank you so much, and tell Ms. Gwen hello for me.

love these stitches! The fabric created by the flip flop stitch reminds me of what moss stitch looks like

So relaxing watching you crochet on a beautiful Michigan autumn morning. ❤

I love that FLIP FLOP STITCH! 🩴

@apple369 7 hours ago

They're all such gorgeous stitches, particularly the rib stitch. And the flip-flop stitch reminds me of crochet linen stitch. Very nice. Thank you!

This is so detailed that I’ve forwarded this to my great niece (11 years old). She’s interested in crocheting and Tunisian crocheting. This helps me as well and I’ve been crocheting since December 1967.
You are doing a fantastic instructor. Very detailed. Thank you.❤

Thank you, Toni. Your tutorials are always so easy to follow. My current WIP is a sweater with your chill stitch and it is gorgeous! And my husband bought me a set of your Hobbii Tunisian hooks, which are so smooth. I will love him forever. 🥰

That flip flop stitch is so unique and cool!!

Absolutely here to thank you for all you do to create, educate and encourage all there is about Crochet & Tunisian Crochet!! * I think the Half Double Tunisian mimics the yarn over from a regular HDC, both in the initial foundation row and in the forward passes. I think all these examples really are 👀 to me! 💜🧶💜🐝💜

My mom got me a set of Tunisian interchangeables for my birthday so I’m excited to dive in!

Finished up my Overlook Wrap while watching this video! I’ve been loving Tunisian crochet recently and can’t wait to use these stitches! 💕

@DesignDIYswithIndira 9 hours ago

The Tunisian half double crochet is my favorite and I can't wait to use it for one of my next projects! Thanks so much for sharing these techniques!

I was a novice knitter and thought I would only stick to that, no interest in crochet. Then I saw your how to Tunisian crochet. I stayed up until 5am just trying again and again until I got it.

That opened the flood gates, i started on a shawl and then a baby blanket. Well the blanket needed a moss stich border so had to learn standard crochet.

Now I am working on a full size graphgan that i designed myself in the Tunisian knit stich. I now say I am a Tunisian crocheter first and foremost
