Hey! Check it out! Someone has already posted her swatches for the Tunisian Swatch-Along in the Art of Crochet Flickr group.

Isn’t that fabulous colorwork? Great job, Jess!
Now for a question to the participants: what other shapes would you like to explore? Cables? Monograms? Random generations? What ideas do you have?
And for the Math-heads… choose a few equations, or sequences, for us to explore in crochet. We’re going for surface texture, and not 3 dimensional shaping, so figuring out how to manipulate the formulas is half the fun!
Hehe, I intend on hopefully adding pics tonight.
Quick question, what are you planning to do with all the blocks once they are completed?

Sally – Well, I save my swatches in a swatch book – so I can refer to them later. I write down the yarn & hook I used, plus any notes I think are important. That way, I always have a sample to refer to for gauge, and I can flip through my swatch book for ideas.

neat. fyi, I just uploaded a couple of photos to my flickr page of a swatch I just put together carrying the contrasting yarn along the rows – so I changed color for both forward and reverse passes, but have no ends to weave in (other than the beginning and end of the swatch). I made it in black and white so as to best show off the stitch detail and how little the carried yarn shows through…
on another note…I would love to learn a new way of making cables! I have both of the “Crocheted Aran Sweaters” books by Jane Snedden Peever, and those cables add great touchability to projects. knowing how to do it in tunisian crochet would be awesome.
