little league play-offs

at this time of the little league season, games can go to 6 innings or more.  that is plenty of time to try a new technique while sitting in the sunshine cheering on your team.  i watched one of these video tutorials yesterday on this technique called cro-knit or crochenit, and thought i'd use up some kitchen cotton giving it a try.  i only have a one-ended afghan hook, so had to take the hook out of all loops to reinsert it from the other direction, but that is not hard with the cotton.

it makes a sturdy, reversible fabric, fantastic for a dishcloth, and very pretty in person.  one side is more one color, one another.

here, i have pulled apart the stitches a bit to show you how it looks.  the woven-looking aspect of tunisian crochet is hidden by the density of the fabric.

it would be easier with a two-sided crochet hook, but was fun and went quickly even without it!

as long as our team remains in the play-offs, i guess i'll be using up kitchen cotton and making dishcloths!

ETA:  i really don't like the name of this technique "cro-knit" -- sounds silly to me.  plus, how do you translate that?  i think the technique should be called two-sided afghan stitch or something like that.  will you tell me the name of this technique in your language, if it's not english?  thank you!
