Image Tunisian crochet hook.jpg right thumb 200px a Tunisian crochethook. Tunisian crochet , also known as Afghan crochet , is a type of crochet that uses an elongated crochethookhook , often with a stopper on the handle end, called an Afghan hook. It is sometimes considered to be a mixture of crocheting and knitting . As such, some techniques used in knitting are also applicable in Tunisian crochet. One example is the Intarsia knitting intarsia method. The work is begun with the traditional starting chain, a series of slip stitches. Once the chain is completed, the first row is worked by inserting the hook back into the previous link of the chain, and a loop from the free end of the yarn is grabbed with the hook and pulled back through the link. Unlike traditional crochet, however, this new loop is not then pulled through the initial loop. Both remain on the hook and then the process is repeated, working from right to left, until each link in the chain has been worked. At the end, there will be as many loops on the hook as there are stitches required. This process is called Casting ... off from the hook by pulling a fresh loop of yarn through each stitch, working from left to right ... than in standard crochet or knitting.

Image Blue crocheting thread.jpg right thumb 200px Crochet thread. Crochet thread is specially formulated thread yarn thread usually made from mercerized cotton for crafting decorative crochet items such as doily doilies or filet crochet . Crochet thread produces fabric of fine gauge knitting gauge that may be stiffened with starch . Differences from yarn and sewing thread Crochet thread is almost always produced from cotton and has a denser pile and smaller diameter than ordinary yarn . Most crochet threads are thicker in diameter than sewing yarn. Crochet thread can withstand considerable stresses from pulls with sharp hooks. Crochet manufacturing conventions treat thread and yarn quite differently manufacturers designate different sizing scales for thread and yarn. Thread is generally packaged on spool s instead of skeins or hanks and is offered for sale in a separate section from ordinary yarns or threads. Crochet hooks for use with thread are also sized according to a different scale from yarn hooks. Thread hooks are also manufactured differently from yarn hooks modern yarn hooks are usually aluminum or plastic , while thread hooks are made of steel and have smaller hook heads and shorter shanks. The division between yarn and thread is somewhat arbitrary crochet thread at its thickest is similar in diameter and behavior to fine cotton yarn. The largest sizes of thread crochet hooks overlap with the smallest sizes of yarn crochet hooks.

Image Crochet.jpg thumb 220px Filet crochet Filet crochet is a type of crochet ed fabric. This type of crocheted lace is gridlike because it uses only two crochet stitches the chain stitch and the double crochet stitch United States U.S. terminology known in some other countries as chain stitch and treble . Old filet patterns used a treble or triple stitch vertically but chained two between the vertical stitches. This was to prevent distortion of some patterns. Chain stitches use less yarn than double crochet stitches, which results in a visual difference in appearance between the two kinds of stitch. Filet crochet forms patterns by filling in parts of a mostly chain stitch mesh with double crochet stitches. ref Eckman, p. 264. ref Filet crochet is usually constructed from monotone crochet thread made of mercerized cotton Mercerised cotton in white or ecru, and worked in rows. Filet crochet is used for decorative applications such as window curtains, tablecloth s, and place settings such as coaster s and placemat s. Filet crochet is most often worked from a graph or a symbol diagram. Patterns are created by combining solid and open meshes, usually working the design in solid meshes and the background in open meshes. The size of the space is determined by the number of chain stitches between each double stitch. ref Eckman, pp. 265 266. ref Filet crochet may also be worked by alternating chain stitches with another type of crochet stitch such as U.S. terminology half double or triple crochet, and may be worked from yarn instead of thread.

Image Tornadic classic supercell radar.gif thumb 250px right A classic hook echo. The tornado associated with this echo was part of the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak . It reached F5 strength on the Fujita scale . The radar hook echo is one of the classical hallmarks of tornado producing supercell thunderstorms as seen on a weather radar . The echo is produced by rain , hail , or even debris being wrapped around the supercell. The National Weather Service considers the presence of a hook echo as sufficient to justify issuing a tornado warning . The hook echo has been recognized as a sign of tornado development for most of weather radar s existence. The first documented tracking of a hook echo was on April 9, 1953 by the Illinois State Water Survey, during preparations for an early test of radar s ability to measure rainfall rates. Hook echoes are not always obvious. In the U.S. Southern states , thunderstorms tend to produce heavier rainfall which leads to the high precipitation HP variation supercell and obscures the hook shape. HP supercells will instead take on a kidney bean shape. The use of doppler weather radar systems such as NEXRAD allows for detection of tornadoes even when the hook echo is not present, and for greater certainty when it is. By detecting the relative velocities of different parts of a storm, doppler radar can detect areas of rotation.
