Another Makealong coming to an end!

An extraordinary journey with fellow crafters has come to an end. We traveled the Tunisian highway and reached one milestone by creating the beautiful Pax shawlette. This is in no way the end but a stepping stone to all things tunisian.

The doubts that were cast were cleared with the help of video tutorials and a Facebook Live session. Not to mention, members stepping up and helping each other!! That’s the best part of being in a community that understands and goes the extra mile to share, to learn and to connect.

We would love to give a special mention to one of the most involved member from our community , Jayam Jammu ! Let’s give the loudest cheer for this awesome crafter who kept all of us on our toes and culminated her journey with a superb walk to show off her Shawlette. Take a bow Jayam!

We would also like to take this moment to give a shout out to Arunima , who is a versatile Indian designer creating beautiful Tunisian crochet designs. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram under the username Knitterknotter.

We hope that by giving you a glimpse of the Tunisian crochet technique , we have sparked a little something in you and may you go on to creating stunning Tunisian crochet projects!

Check out the participants video here:

Thanks once again for walking the road with Tunisian crochet!

Hoping to see you all in our next crafty journey!
