The Afghan stitch has been called hook knitting, railroad knitting, shepard's knitting, tricot crochet, tricot stitch, tricot crochet a la tricoter, tricot ecossaise, Scot's knitting, Scotch knitting, Princess stitch, royal princess stitch, railway knitting, Russian crochet, fool's knitting, idiot's knitting, hook knitting, and Tunisian crochet. It's varied history and use by women everywhere makes it all the more intriguing. Tonight I'm using it to design some Alice bands and bracelets. The key is to get some thread that has a bit of heft and a bit of stretch. Off to my fibers.
