Reader Question: My friend said there is now a crochet hook that you can also knit with but I can’t find it anywhere. Have you heard of such a needle?
The FaveCrafts.com team is just back from attending the 2012 Winter CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) trade show and we did find the amazing tool you are talking about. It’s called The Knook from Leisure Arts, a company you may recognize for being a leader in needleart and craft books. We even got to try our hand at knitting with this crochet hook. Ribbon is used as your “second” knitting needle while one end of The Knook is pointed end with a hole to thread your ribbon through.(there is a traditional hook at the other end) the ribbon stays attached to this pointed end. The idea behind The Knook is that you can combine crocheting and knitting within one project. Leisure Arts has several excellent videos demonstrating the technique and stitches.
You can purchase The Knook on CutRateCrafts.com
Starting tomorrow, AllFreeCrochet.com is giving away a Knook to one lucky winner!

Looks like a cool invention.
Maria – I am knitting a scarf, and the sides curl up each time I knit one. Is there a method that prevents this curling of the sides?
