Do you Knook???
 

I just bought a beginner's kit and instrctions for both left and right handed Knooking. I am left handed and learned to knit and crochet from my grandmother who could do either left or right. I am just a dabbler and have just taken up the arts again a year ago. This knooking intrigued me am
rather confused. Have got the knit stitch down pretty well, but can't seem to make the pearl stitch work. Does anyone else have a proble with it at all? Have looked at utube, but that was more confusing. Like to know what you all think of it.

Silly me thought you were going to talk about the pad that you read books on....I guess that's NOOK! LOL!!!
Sorry can't help. Hope there are others that can.

Good heavens! Every time I switch between knitting and crocheting, I have to readjust. If I combined them, I might never recover! The web site I visited did not show the finished product, however.

I too, thought you were going to discuss the NOOK. I have "fat fingers" and many times end up with an extra letter. LOL

I thought the same thing. Waaaay to funny. Sorry no help here.

I've heard about that but have no idea, what it involves . . . unless it's something like Tunisian crochet (which has been around, a LONG time).

No, I Kindle

Looks like a variation of the afghan stitch. Only with the afghan stitch you stitch across, bind off backwards and then stitch across again.

I googled it, and it appears it is knitting using a crochet hook:

Sounds a lot like CroKnit which is knitting with a double ended crochet hook.

I am one who has to try every craft that comes along. I knit and crochet, so I though the Knook looked interesting. I haven't done much with it. I played with it for a while, but my knitting/crocheting background keeps getting in the way. I can knit and crochet much faster, so I can't seem to stay with the Knook for long. It seems awkward to me. If I had not been a knitter/crocheter, I would probavly like the Knook. I'll probably try it again some day, but for now I have too many quilt patterns I want to try.

So many quilts---So little time.

I have a KNOOK set....I haven't used it a whole lot but I have tried them out. I have always wanted to learn to knit...and the one attempt I made to do so resulted in new cuss words being invented and knitting needles being thrown across the room...looking back now I should of aimed them at the ex instead of at the wall....LOL

I knit and crochet, and I checked this out as I thought I would buy it. However, as I watched the tutorials, I decided it would be more bother than fun, so I decided to forget it. I'll be anxious to see how you like it.

I have to admit I've never heard of this craft before. Going to look it up and read about it. Sounds like it may be interesting?

Because this is so much like CroKnit I tried it. I've developed trouble with my wrist and cannot crochet for any period of time and I NEVER could knit very well. It does make very heavy fabric.

Sounds interesting for my DIL. Will check it out.
