Hello June,
I saw slippers I wanted to crochet only thing the crochet hook would not help because the yarn kept falling off. I was getting frustrated I thought of putting elastic at the end of the crochet hook. Then one day my cousin wife was using this crochet hook doubled sided. I the only place I found this was at a Creative yarn store then I thought it was too small.
So I went online and noticed the knook.
You say it’s at Walmart. Can I buy this at Walmart in Canada

I recently book the knook kit from Wal-Mart and have been trying to teach myself. I think I am guilty of twisting the stitches like in crochet….going to watch the videos and give it another try. When I go from knit to purl it looks the same but different than the sample in the book. It didn’t look too bad, just not like it should, lol. Thanks for the links to the video demos!

Your row size is only limited by the length of your cord, so yes, if you have a long enough cord, you can knook an entire afghan in one piece

Good Morning,
I bought a Knook at Walmart yesterday and have been searching the web for free patterns. The question that I have is that all patterns have a small amount of stitches. Can this be used to make a pattern such as an afghan with a lot of stitches? Thank you.

I would like to have a knook after reading all here, but am not able to get to a store.
And no financial stuff on PC, so that method is out.

Have no offers to shop FOR me,,

You can also get a piece of cording from the fabric section at any craft store; the use the Denise Interchangeable Crochet hooks. Then you have a variety of sizes of hooks. As, well as the fact that you can make any size project by using a longer cord.

I thought your review of the Knook was spot on and very well written. Thank you so much for writting it. I linked to your review and website homepage from my website.

I agree, I don’t see any advantage in knooking for those who already knit (unless knitting causes them pain, in which case the different motion of the knook may help) – but it’s amazing for crocheters to be able to produce real knitted fabrics with a knook

Today I received an email ad for the Knook. I Googled it and landed at your website. My question when looking at the Knook was “why?” The question is pretty much answered by reading all the comments. It seems to be a wonderful way for those who crochet and don’t or can’t knit to produce knitted pieces. As a knitter I fail to see the attraction. I will keep knitting with needles, but in no way mean to knock the knook. I think it would be great for some folk. Thank you, June, for the review.

I enjoy knooking. It is compact for traveling, and the hook can’t fall out.

The finished project has even tension, looks nice, and cables are easy without a holder.

Also a good conversation starter. Carolyn
