The last two crochet magazines I bought had features on Tunisian crochet and I was reminded of this little guy.
This is Harquebus. He's named after a gun. He supposed to be a lovable monster. Like the Big Friendly Giant, in crocheted puppet form.
He was created in the early 2008. This was my first attempt at Tunisian crochet. I really enjoyed creating him cause I didn't outright suck when I first tried this technique. I have tried to make more things with Tunisian but I been discouraged by things not going too well. My sister had asked for a set of place mats and I found a pattern for an "x" texture stitch. 2 words: no bueno.
I think those magazines are trying nudge me back to "the love child of knit and crochet."
How cute is this little fellow? I've heard the tunisian crochet is difficult and although I've been crocheting for years I've never tried it. You must be very talented! I look forward to seeing more items. I try to keep it simply so I don't get aggravated. I just hate taking things apart and restarting. Don't you? Also, thanks for being my first follower! I gave you a shout out on my page :o)
