I have recently discovered maybe I have become a "homesteader" and have thus updated my blog to reflect this newfound revelation.

Afghan squares update
In honor of memorial day I made the next square on my checklist, old' glory. I also went one step further and did a lone star square.
I also have two more squares to update on because I forgot to. So this first one... Is it knit... Or crocheted?
So the obvious answer is the stitches are knit stitches, but the not so obvious answer is they were done on a crochet hook known as a Cro-hook, afghan hook, or Tunisian hook. It is a long crochet where all stitches are put on and then taken off. In the knit stitch technique the work is not turned. This technique is also known as crochenit.
This one is known as the Tunisian simple stitch in two colors. When working with two colors the work is turned and then all stitches are slid to the opposite end then taken off with the contrasting color. This stitch can also e some with one color, then turning would not be necessary.
Happy crochenit!
