Help with Tunisian Crochet...is there a term for the technique I am using...

[BarbertonDaisy]

Hi!  I am working on my first tunisian crochet pattern and it is a bit fiddly to explain.  I am hoping one of you seasoned tunisian crocheters can put a name to what I am doing.

 

3 main things:  

• is there a specific name for the row of chain-like stitches running up the beginning of each simple stitch row?
• If I were to pull up a loop in the next vertical bar in the forward pass (so only one vertical bar) and then pull through both loops on my hook (like making a standard single crochet), what would I call that manoeuvre? 
• is there a specific name for the vertical bar of the last stitch (so the left edge of my work)?  Or do I just call it the ending vertical bar?

Please contact me if this isn't clear enough and you need me to elaborate.

 

Thank you in advance,

It sounds like a double Tunisian stitch to me-

CrochetKim would know because she is an expert in this field. Maybe she'll see this and hopefully respond.
