Recently, I bought a copy of one of Kim Guzman‘s latest books, Tunisian Cables to Crochet
. By coincidence, I later received a review copy (so yes, there is a giveaway in your future, but not for a while!). I’ve vowed to do some crochet experimentation for National Crochet Month, so I decided to look through the other two books I have that provide photo tutorials for Tunisian cables, Crochet Scarves: Fabulous Fashions – Various Techniques
by Sharon Silverman and Tunisian Crochet: Cables & Braids by Angela “ARNie” Grabowski. (You can read my interview with Kim Guzman here and my interview with Sharon Silverman, along with a review of Crochet Scarves, here.)
Interestingly, each of these books has a pretty different approach to Tunisian cables. I’m eager to see which one works best for me – like many others, I have suffered from flat and depressing looking Tunisian cables in the past. Now that I know how to knit, I have much higher expectations for cables!
Do you have a preferred technique for Tunisian crochet cables?

Wonderful! I can’t wait to hear how it works out for you!
Thanks, Kim! Your method is really different but I love the look of your cable work!
Interesting! I haven’t tried Tunisian cables, but I really don’t like normal crochet cables!
There are definitely some tricks that make regular crochet cables more fun, tanya, but sorry to hear you don’t like them!
I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with, too. I’ve tried tunisian and thought it was fun. But I haven’t made anything with it yet. =) Very interested to see your cable work.
I love Tunisian, Yarnitect. But my Tunisian cables in the past have been less than stellar, so I’m really looking forward to trying again.
Marie I want to see how you do the Tunisian Cables too. I love Tunisian Crochet and I like crochet cables. Not sure if my Tunisian cable will really look like cables. Lokking forward to seeing yours
I’ll keep you posted, Yvonne!
