Tapestry Crochet ... the rest of the story
http://www.tapestrycrochet.com/blog/
Tapestry crochet is similar to regular crochet, except that one or more yarns are carried while another is crocheted. The colors are usually switched before completing the stitch. The finished pieces look woven instead of crocheted. I prefer to use the single crochet stitch, but other stitches may also be used.
This blog is “. . . the rest of the story” - tapestry crochet history, variations of the technique around world, artist profiles, conferences, design, and whatever else I discover!
