I noticed today that u/Tine has uploaded several knooking demos to Youtube recently. Check them out! See https://www.youtube.com/@-Tine-

I recently made the Hugs and Kisses Bag. It's a mix of knooking and crocheting, which was something I hadn't tried before.

Project instructions: http://knooking.blogspot.com/2012/04/hugs-and-kisses-hybrid-bag.html The gist of the project:

The base of this bag is a disk of double crochet (US terms).

The side of the bag is a repeating pattern of 6 rows of knit stitches topped with one row of twisted double crochet stitches. Repeat this pattern until the sides are as tall as you want. I did 3 repeats of the pattern.

Finish the bag with one row of regular double crochet.

I made a crocheted cord using the method shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLE6N-RIvB4

I learned this cord can also be used as a foundation chain for crochet or knooking. It's more stretchy than a simple crocheted chain.

I wove this cord through the bars of the double crochet at the top of the bag to make a drawstring closure. I fastened the cord together with a small tassel.

The skills I learned from this project:

How to knook in rounds. I learned the cord and hook have to be managed a little differently compared with knooking on the flat

How to transition from knit stitches to crochet stitches and vice versa. It's easier than it looks!

How to do a twisted stitch, which is a key concept for making any cable pattern

How to make a crocheted cord using a "long tail" method. Until this project, I'd just used a simple crocheted chain which isn't as nice

Things I'd do differently:

Go to a slightly smaller hook than the recommended size. I'd like the stitches to be a bit tighter for a firmer fabric.

If you want this bag to hold small items, it needs to be lined with fabric.

Top the final row of plain double crochet with a lacy stitch (maybe picot stitch?) to add more visual interest to the top edge of the bag.

I'd tweak the pattern a bit: If you look at the lowest row of crochet stitches on the side of the bag, you'll see a ridge of yarn at the top of these crochet stitches.

The instructions said to knook into the BACK loop of the "V" at the top of the double crochet stitches. (At least that's how I interpreted the instructions.) This is the detail that creates the ridge.

I either wanted a ridge on both the top and bottom of the crocheted row or I wanted no ridges at all. So I knooked into the FRONT loop of the "V" at the top of the double crochet stitches. That top ridge disappeared, and I liked the look a bit better.

Mostly joking. I'm just frustrated that sleeves seem to take more time than creating the entire rest of the cardigan. What part of creation frustrates you? So I don't feel as lonely lol

I found a list of free knooking patterns today that I haven't seen mentioned here in the year or so I've been reading this sub. https://www.needlepointers.com/main/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=3780 Scroll down to the end of the article for links to the patterns.

One pattern in this list, the Hugs and Kisses Bag, is a mix of knooking and crochet, which I think is intriguing. (link: http://knooking.blogspot.com/2012/04/hugs-and-kisses-hybrid-bag.html )

Newb here, Western style. I got regular knit/purls down, increases and decreases are hard but doable. Still learning, but it's going well. Trying a swatch for a lace pattern and it requires a k1 or p1 and then a k1(or p1 if it's the back side)bl, this is over a 2yo from the previous row.

I'm doing something wrong because my stitch counts at the end of the row are increased by two, despite the decrease before and after the 2yo. I get doing the k1 or p1 in the first part of the 2yo, it's the bl that's confusing me.

I could never get the hang of knitting with needles, but knooking is going ok. In crochet and Tunisian I could do this and not have extra stitches. I don't know why this isn't clicking for me or how I'm messing it up. I've tried watching some videos of knitting k1bl/p1bl but my brain can't translate that to knooking. My searches on both Google and YouTube haven't turned up any tutorials on knooking k1bl/p1bl, so I don't know if there aren't any or I'm just missing them. It is an insomnia night and I'm a bit loopy at this point, so it's definitely a me problem, but if any of yins have a tip or suggestion I'm all ears

My sister is due in about a month, and I really wanted to make the baby her first hat to wear in the hospital. I’ve been practicing knooking stitches (avid crocheter) because I wanted that authentic knit look and feel. It was a lot of fun! I think I need to work on my tension still, but overall I’m happy with the result. 🧡

I wore these today that's why the bottom looks fuzzy(forgot to grab a pic hot off the hook last night) done cuff down and after thought heel I'm absolutely in live with the color of them

Is this possible? I have a pair of Tunisian crochet hooks and don’t realllllyyyyy want to splurge on knitting needles at this time.

So I've tried for years to knit and I'm not great at it and it hurts my hands. I wanted to give nooking a try and found out that Denise actually sells nook hooks but I'm not sure if the extensions are compatible with the crochet and knitting needles. I looked all over the website and I couldn't find the individual extensions for sale. I don't really want to buy a whole other set of crochet hooks especially considering I have some but it would be so much easier to nook with hooks I already own.

Has anyone bought the nooking version of these hooks and nose if the extensions are compatible with other products??

This is my first Knooking work.

I didn't see any attempts at double knitting in here so I wanted to share mine. Turned out better than expected using Japanese style although I had issues with the yarn twisting together. It makes me wonder if a different style would reduce that effect.

I just started knooking and am loving it, but I have a question. When I am inserting the knook needle into a new loop, the next loop on the string gets too much tension puts on it and gets pulled small. How can I avoid this? Thank you.

Hello! I'm a beginner, just got my knooks and started practicing by following youtube tutorials. But I've noticed some people insert their hooks from left to right for knit stitch and some from right to left. Same for purl stitch. I am confused as to how I'm supposed to do it. Neither of them came out looking okay when I tried 😆 Please help 🙏🏻

I'm mostly a knitter but I hate how I can't easily fit long needles in my purse and knit on the bus without stabbing someone. Knooking sounds like it would be better on the go, right?

How do I pause and secure my work to put it in my purse without the cord slipping out?
