Trendsetter Cherie. Color 01 Earth Safari and Color 03 Desert Sunset. The Tunisian hook is by Jenkins Woodworking from stitchdiva.com size P/12.75mm I started working on a swatch for class and couldn't stop! It will be a wrap.

What was your inspiration?

Jennifer Hansen's cool designs and instruction. You really believe you can do it - and you can!

What are you most proud of?

It's my first Tunisian crochet project - including color work - and it wasn't as hard as I thought once my knitting hands understood how to hold the yarn and hook. Thanks Jennifer!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch everything Jennifer is doing; don't be afraid to rip back or start over.

Yes. The yarn calls for 4.5mm/US7 needle and has a ribbon construction. To keep the stitches open, I used a bigger hook. There were some common colors in each yarn so everything blended well. Thanks for the compliment.
