   For you Anita I will tell you.. its actually nice and simple. (TSS = Tunisian Simple Stitch, instructions assume you're right handed so working tunisian right to left)row 1: TSSrow 2: TSSrow 3: TSS in every stitch BAR the ones you're doing the cable from (leave 1 stitch in between at least..), assuming 1 stitch in the middle of your cable do this.pick up the bar of you stitch as if to do TSS now, yarn over twice, put hook through bar 2 rows down, 2 stitches to the left and do your trebble), tSS next, now pick up the bar as if to TSS, yarn over twice, and do a trebble through the bar of 2 rows down and 2 to the right.), tss the rest.row 4: tssrow 5: tss in each stitch bar the bits for the cable, now do a DOUBLE crochet into the trebble crochet you made with the cross shape of the row 2, always picking up the bar as if to do a tss (otherwise it makes a gap I found) and tss as before. row 6: tssrow 7: like row 2, but instead of using the bar of a TSS stitch, use the doubles you made in row 5.repeat from 4-7 until you make required.Another touch is to put a bobble in between the doubles to make a kinda eye shape I used to hang out on myspace – seeSee http://www.mysp​ace.com/crochet​_creations/blog​/347038406

    Well, I do talk of somethings funny, especially when it comes to crochet – I often refer to my hook and yarn as stick and string :p

    Well, depends, if you call a ball of yarn, a ball of wool I can understand it being confusing

    A lot of my friends are american so I can convert, but sometimes it can be confusing when theres Brits and Americans both posting on what they think is the same thing but isnt
