Tunisian Crochet

Yesterday I was catching up on some recorded shows of Knit & Crochet Now, when they were showing how to do a basic Tunisian crochet stitch.  When my grandmother passed away a few years ago, I got all of her knitting needles.  One of them was a Tunisian crochet hook.  I decided to give it a go, then wouldn't you know that it just snapped in half on row 3.  It was a soft plastic hook.  My only explanation is that it was really old.  So I ran out to the store today and bought the only one that they had, which thankfully was a metal hook.  I'm well past the 3rd row now.

The bottom likes to curl, but so far so good.   I even found a lot of free patterns for it on ravelry.  Right now I'm using some cheap acrylic yarn to practice with.  Here is a you tube video that I found if anyone else is interested in learning how to Tunisian crochet as well.
