Who wants to join in a Tunisian swatch-a-long?

We're going to experiment with texture, and we're going to use (oh noes!) mathematics to do it.

Who's with me?

I want to eventually do this through the Crochet Academy, but I have a lot of other AofC stuff on my plate and I kinda wanna do something without pressure and fun and with friends...

I'd like everyone to participate in coming up with stitch patterns and/or formulas to try out, but to get us started -

To play along, Crochet 3 Tunisian swatches (as follows) and post scans or pics to The Art of Crochet Flickr Group. Next Wednesday I'll make a post linking to the swatches, and we can comment and come up with the next set of stitch patterns.

Swatch 1
Tunisian Ribbing
Base Chain - ch 25.
Foundation Row - lp on hook counts as first st, Tss into each of the next 23 ch, end-Tss into last ch, return.
Row 1 - (Tss into next st, Tps into next st) x 11, Tss into next st, end-Tss into last st, return.
Rows 2 to 20 - repeat Row 1.

Swatch 2
Tunisian "Waffle" Stitch, or Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch
Base Chain - ch 25.
Foundation Row - lp on hook counts as first st, Tss into each of the next 23 ch, end-Tss into last ch, return.
Row 1 - (Tss into next st, Tps into next st) x 11, Tss into next st, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 2 - (Tps into next st, Tss into next st) x 11, Tps into next st, end-Tss into last st, return.
Rows 3 to 20 - repeat Rows 1 & 2.

Swatch 3
This next swatch uses a technique I developed to shift the vertical bars of the Tunisian Simple Stitch in order to create relief patterns on the surface (example here). This technique, and the many ways it can be used, create a wealth of stitch patterns - especially when combined with both Tunisian ribbing and Tunisian waffle.

The technique is accomplished by working either a T-push or a T-pull. (The links within the stitch definitions are to video stitch guides - 2 new ones added today.)

T-push: 1 ch-Tps (left-handed), 1 Tss2tog (left-handed)

T-pull: 1 Tss2tog (left-handed), 1 ch-Tps (left-handed)

Swatch Instructions:
This is an example of the T-push/T-pull technique as it combines with Tunisian ribbing:

Base Chain - ch 16.
Foundation Row - lp on hook counts as first st (now and throughout), Tss into each of the next 14 ch, end-Tss into last ch, return.
Row 1 - Tps into next 2 sts, (Tss into next st, Tps into next st, Tss into next st), Tps into each of the next 2 sts, repeat between (), Tps into each of the next 4 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 2 - Tps into each of the next 2 sts, T-push, T-push, Tps, T-push, T-push, Tps into each of the next 3 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 3 - Tps into each of the next 3 sts, T-push, T-push, Tps, T-push, T-push, Tps into each of the next 2 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 4 - Tps into each of the next 4 sts, T-push, T-push, Tps, T-push, T-push, Tps into next st, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 5 - Tps into each of the next 4 sts, T-pull, T-pull, Tps, T-pull, T-pull, Tps into next st, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 6 - Tps into each of the next 3 sts, T-pull, T-pull, Tps, T-pull, T-pull, Tps into each of the next 2 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 7 - Tps into each of the next 2 sts, T-pull, T-pull, Tps, T-pull, T-pull, Tps into each of the next 3 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 8 - Tps into next st, T-pull, T-pull, Tps, T-pull, T-pull, Tps into each of the next 4 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Row 9 - Tps into next st, T-push, T-push, Tps, T-push, T-push, Tps into each of the next 4 sts, end-Tss into last st, return.
Rows 10 to 17 - repeat Rows 2 to 9.

I am using the above technique for a new cardigan pattern. My workspace is in the process of being rearranged, but as soon as my scanner is accessible, I'll upload a pic of what I've done with that technique.
