Crochet Hook Knitting of Socks - DetailInteresting technique: knitting socks with crochet hooks instead of double-pointed-needles. I think it requires four or five identical crochet hooks; one is the working hook, and the others are holding the stitches. Note that these are normal crochet hooks, not Tunisian. I'm not sure if it would work with Tunisian crochet hooks, because the stoppers at the end might get in the way.2017-06-24 12:21:00

Knooked CablesVideo demonstration of an easier way of doing cables with a knook (knitting hook). (Mind you, the standard way of doing a cable with a knitting hook is still MUCH easier than trying to cable on a knitting loom) The idea is to give yourself more manoeuvrability by doing the first half of the cable, then pull those stitches down onto your cord/lifeline, thus freeing up your hook to easily do the second half of the cable.2015-11-07 16:32:00

Ravelry: Knooking discussion topic - Hooks and Knooks - Casting OnThis comment in the thread suggests an interesting cast-on method for hook-knitting: do a chain twice as long as you need, then pull up a loop through every other chain. This allows for stretchiness unlike the usual crochet cast-on.2015-11-06 16:58:00

I'd Rather Be Knooking: Another Knook HookNify idea: with a bamboo (or wood) knook hook, sharpen the tip with a pencil sharpener, so it goes into the stitches more easily.2015-11-03 08:38:00
