Stitches

Crocheters, do you like to talk crochet stitches, I do, as reverse sc or crab st, what about a twisted sc?

Reverse single crochet is a trim stitch made going in reverse of the original stitch, but can the same stitch be acomplished going in the same direction as the stitch is, when being made, if so, * with the two loops of the single crochet on hook, or the last two loops of the double crochet on hook, the loops will twist as the hook point is taken foward and right, all the way around to pick up the yarn and draw [ or ease ] through the twisted loops on hook, repeat * with the next stitch. 1. The twisted single crochet trim stitch, or reversed crab stitch with sc. 2. The twisted double crochet trim stitch. If the above is reversed with loops being taken backward and right all the way around to yarn picked up and eased through twisted loops, I would want to call it the rolled single crochet trim stitch, but as reverse sc, it's not needed. I have been using them for years and they have worked for me. This is why I think talking crochet stitches is a good thing, do you think so? Would anyone please try these stitches and give your opinion as to what you think of them?

1. Crochet stitches have been "invented" by many people in the past and are still being "invented!" I love using both crochet and and knitting combinations. What a fastastic stitch that makes! The Irish crochet workers used the embroidery stitches plus the crochet stitch to make both the "roll" stitch, and the "clone." In embroidery the stitch is known as the "bullion stitch." In the past the French teachers were so good at making "new stitches" that they could make a "new" stitch for every day of the year! Yes, it is a good thing to talk about crochet stitches and the variations made both in the past, and those that can be done by using what we know today to make hundreds of variations! Dorothy Hooper
