Afghan stitch, my new favorite

[precious]

I was so excited I had to share! I've always like the afghan stitch and graph patterns. I'm making so many for Christmas. I'm on my 3rd throw and I'm doing the tunisian knit stitch. I found it on a tutorial along with the tunisian purl stitch and other tunisian stitches. It looks like knit!!! I love this. They also have the cable and other common "knit" stitches. I wonder if I can use this technique or a knit pattern. I may have to try that and see. Thought I'd share. All I did was google the tunisian stitch tutorial.

I know, I love it to! I just call it the afghan stitch, and maybe that is and tunisian is something else? either way! Check out the link in my sig if you haven't seen my graph'ghan yet, I used the afghan hook for it! Have fun!

I love the look of the afghan stitch and even own a hook with a long plastic cable. But for wide afghans, my wrists really feel it. The lack of a finger rest makes the effort just harder on my wrists.

I love it too. I learned how from my BF's mom when I was a junior in HS. It's been many years but I still love that stitch. I am planning to do a baby afghan in it next, after my two current ones are finished.
