Thanks for telling me about Tunisian crochet. I'd never heard of it. so have just watched a video on You Tube. It looks exciting. I've been knitting for fifty years, but somehow never learned to crochet. Is Tunisian crochet easy or difficult for a novice crocheter?
What a great knitting pattern tip, Ilse...I love the multi-colored sails. I've often wondered about adapting cross stitch pattern graphs for knitting and tunisian crochet....it sure works, this is such a cute square!

A special square, Ilse....pretty as a picture.....love the powder blue of the square, highlights your handiwork perfectly. :))
