Finding a Knook

The other day I got a Knook from my friends at Leisure Arts and, even though I already knit, I did find it pretty innovative especially for crocheters who will never abandon their hook for a knitting needle.  For all those crocheters out there who don’t knit but would like to – and there are a lot – the Knook is just the thing. 

A few tips:

1.  Be sure to do a swatch large enough so you’re comfortable with the technique before you do a swatch for the garment or project you plan to make.

2.  Be sure to follow the instructions as they are written or you could get a few twisted stitches as I did (on the third row down from the stitches on the hook):

3.  It’s also helpful to have a bit of a nail on your forefinger to encourage the stitches onto the hook:

So enjoy Knooking – a real stitching treat!
