First I found a free kindle book on Tunisian Crochet. This is a stitch I learned as a girl known only to me as afghan stitch and I only learned the single and double crochet version. I never thought of it as crochet that could have various stitches just like regular crochet until I started looking through that book.
I did some research on the internet and came up with this site, Tunisian Crochet by Stitch Diva. I then remembered that I'd seen beaded Tunisian crochet and started looking for pictures. I found several, but they weren't free to copy. I finally found a pattern for the necklace above.
Not a complicated pattern but I thought about trying it. Then I remembered you have to string the beads onto the crochet thread first. . .not my forte so I gave that up.
Next I found an adult coloring book for free and downloaded it.
I've spent Sunday and Monday telling myself to put the colored pencils down and get back to beading. When I've finished the 17 ornaments for this year, maybe I'll get back to learning the intricacies of Tunisian crochet.
