i'm trying it for the first time. the basic stitch is also called afghan stitch, but there are others. here is what it looks like
front
back. you can see how it is trying to roll in the back picture.
has anyone else done this?

I've done it. It is great if you want a grid to cross stitch on.

I've done it. Made a scarf with baby weight yarn. The looser you make the stitch the less it rolls. The rolling is unfortunately the nature of the beast. The thicker yarns, like worsted weight need a bigger hook. Theres also a tunisian stitch that looks like regular stockinette. I forget off the top of my head exactly how its done. Tunisian/afghan stitch is also called shepherds knitting.
If I can get to the library today I'll get my pics off photobucket and show you. Hmmm, there might be pics in our yarn thread here.......... zip.......
Jenn you should join Tina and I over at Crochetville. (aka c'ville)

Places like Mary Maxim used to sell afghan kits where you do tunisian in a solid colr & then cross stitch a pattern on it. Gotta get the rows even for that or else the cross stitch count will be off & make for a crooked Pattern.

Tina knows how to crochet very well. But it is something my hands do not do well any more. Although I am itching to prove me wrong.
