Love my Denise Interchangeable set, I rarely use them for Tunisian since I haven't put the time into learning anything beyond tss, but they're my go-to hooks for pretty well every project.
First of all Kim Guzaman's Video Tutorials are indispensable. They helped me so much in the beginning. I agree with both /u/I_heart_DPP and /u/boyd121 that you should definitely work up a small swatch and start with that just to get the hang of the "simple" stitch. I then recommend making a smaller project like a scarf or dishtowels to get your tension down. You can use a regular crochet hook with a hair tie wrapped around the end as a "stopper" until you get the hang of it.
A few key points of Tunisian Crochet:
1.) Always try to start your project with the Tunisian Purl Foundation Stitch this will help alleviate the "curl" that can occur with Tunisian crochet.
2.) Use a hook at least 1 but more likely 2-3 times larger than the size recommended by the weight of the yarn you are using.
3.) The width of your project should not exceed 3 times the length of your hook. For example, if you want to make an afghan that is 3 feet wide your hook+cable needs to be at least 12 inches long.
For me, this technique is much faster. I made this Tunisian Watercolor Scarf in a couple of days. It's super fast once you get in the groove. :-D
Once you practice a bit and feel like you want to try a larger project (i.e. afghan) I recommend something like this simple (yet beautiful) Tweed Blanket as it incorporates a few techniques to challenge yourself and move beyond the simple stitch, including color changes, to keep things interesting.
I love my Denise Interchangeable Tunisian hooks. I bought a few supplemental cables from ebay for really large projects in 25", 40" and 60" lengths. They slide through the stitches like buttah' and the cables attach strongly and easily.
I hope this helps! Happy Hookin' :-D My inbox is always open if you have any questions.
