| I know we have had this discussion before but I can't find it on any of the postings.....what is the needle and yarn work called that is done on the large single knitting needle with a crochet hook on the end? I thought it was something like cro-knit ...... does anyone have any sites where it is explained on how to use the needle with a pattern or two? I'm seeking the information for a senior who was given a couple needles and we are trying to figure out just what to do with them. Thank you. Budster |

| If it has a crochet hook on each end it is the Cro-hook or sometimes called Crochetnit. |

Budster, try AnniesAttic.com. Some call it Tunisian crochet. I have done it, but can't remember how I did it!
I know Annies still has patterns for it, as I get thier news letters by eamil and have seen some there. Tami |

| I think you use it to make the afghan stitch. It has another name too, but I forget it. It is one of those projects that I will try one of these blue moons. |

| I'm attempting to make an afghan using the afghan stitch, but the ends are curling up really badly! any of you good folks out there know any ways to un-curl them? |

| It is the nature of the beast. The only thing I am aware of is to make an edging of several rows of some type. And blocking will help, but it really can't be avoided with the afghan stitch. |
