It always curls. There is no way to prevent it.

Where can I get the hook that looks like a knitting needle with a hook on the end? I am working on 3 blankets at the same time, 2 requiring the tunisian stitching for the body. The Wal-Mart, Hancock, & the Michaels here don’t carry this hook. Can you help me?

I know that I have seen the hooks at AC Moore and Joann Fabric and Crafts. You may need to purchase it online.

This looks great! I bet this would be amazing for blankets and stuff, because it looks like it works up very quickiy.

You mention that you’d made a chain of 40…I’m assuming that could be longer so long as the needle used can fit all the loops?

Yes, Bourdeaux. She’s simply using ch 40 as an example. If your pattern calls for 80 sts per row, as long as those 80 sts can fit on your afghan hook, you should be fine.
