Giveaway: Knitting with a crochet hook (KWACH)/knooking hooks
Posted by Underground Crafter on December 31, 2012 | Short Link
This is the last in my series of giveaways leading up to the New Year. I’m now selling the specialized crochet hooks for knitting – also known as knooking or knitting with a crochet hook (KWACH) – in my Etsy shop here.
If you’ve been wanting to try knooking, this set will get you started! It includes 5 hooks (in sizes 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, 5.0 mm, 6.0 mm, and 6.5 mm) and 5 waxed cords. Each cord is at least 40 inches (100 cm) long.
These hooks are a delightfully smooth bamboo and are very comfortable to use.
This giveaway is open to all readers. Enter by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, January 6, 2013.

I’ve never tried knitting with a crochet hook but it sounds very interesting. I’ve seen the name knooking bandied about and keep thinking to look it up.
This sounds awesome! Definitely need to try this out whether I win or not (but would be so fun to win) Great blog. I’m a new follower – keep up the great blogs!
I’ve never tried it but as a new crocheter and a knitter I’m gamed to try new techniques!
Thanks for these wonderful giveaways Marie. Happy New Year to you!!!
I knit, I crochet, why wouldn’t I want to knook too? Thanks for the giveaways, I hope you have a great New Year.

I’m always up for a new needlecraft! I’ve heard the term knooking but haven’t been completely clear what it is. Knitting with a crochet hook… hmm, guess I may need to google how one does that.

This is something I would really love to try, especially as there are a few more pattern books around now. Tweeted and shared on fb.
Happy New Year Marie and thank you for the chance to win one of the wonderful give-a-ways you have been hosting
Thanks so much, Stormbat! Happy New Year to you, too.
Would love to give knocking a try. It sounds interesting
I haven’t tried knooking yet, but I did get the beginner kit from Leasure Arts just before Christmas. I just haven’t had the chance to do more then read through the directions with all the gft making/wrapping and being out of town. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I’ll be able to give it a shot.

My sister lent me a Knook for an evening one time. I thought it was pretty interesting and I really wanted to try “knitting” a shawl with one. That would be the first thing I would do if I won a set of them!
Such a generous giveaway!
My daughter wants to try these! She is the crocheter, I knit. It would be great to win this!
I already liked you! LOL
I’ve never tried knooking, but I crochet and knit – so it sounds like a lot of fun!

I’ve neve tried it but have checked out some videos about it and would like to give it a try.
Have not tried it, but would love to. A year ago I couldn’t knit, now I knit almost non stop, but still crochet a bit, and love to try out new stuff, nod this I had never heard about.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve been eyeing it for a while. I think it would be very interesting!
Ohh I want to try these!
Never tried knooking….but since I knit and crochet and do all kinds of crafts….I’d love to learn how to!!!! And I would know a needlework craft to teach my sister since we share this love of yarn
They sound like fun. I am new to knitting and crochet..have never knooked before but would love to try. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I am very interested in trying this. I crochet and knit and would love to try something new. This would be a wonderful new craft to learn.
I’ve heard of knooking but never had the opportunity to try it. Would love to:)
I liked you on Facebook. I never tried a Knook but would certainly be an interesting thing to do in 2013.
I keep meaning to try these.
Thanks for posting this Giveaway!
I have never knooked before but it looks like a great transitional craft! Would love the opportunity to win so I can try it and also share with my charity knitting group, Yarns of Hope!
I have not tried knooking yet… I want to, just havent yet
Looks like a neat thing to do, which I have not yet tried, but want to. ;~))) Thanks.
I have never tried these, but I would love to.
I’ve often used crochet hooks to fix errors in my knitting so I’m fascinated by the knooks – they must make the whole process go much more smoothly – very clever idea

I LOVE Knooking. Its much easier for me than regular Knitting, and faster. I have made a hat, and a scarf, following info from various web sites. I just tapped a cord to the back of my hook back then. Im still learning.
I got the basic kit, but have never actually knooked – I should have added that to my craft challenges list for 2013, but I didn’t think to! Still, I’d love to play & learn more. I already like & follow you
