For every stitch I add to Sunday Stitch School, I learn something other than the stitch itself.
Last week, I understood why the Twisted Chain Stitch felt so familiar. In 2012 I learned it while taking part in TAST, Take A Stitch Tuesday. The stitch was #12 Barred and Alternating Barred Chain, where the 'arm' is long and sticking out like the spike in barbed wire.
This week, I discovered that when you make the Twisted Chain Stitches short and place them close together, you get another stitch - the Rope Stitch, which was also a TAST stitch, #110. Here is a link to the blogpost of May 5th 2014.

The twisted chain does take a curve well, but I really like how it looks on counted fabric in a straight line.
Of course Twisted Chain Stitch and variations as needed. Good samples and I like the variegated blues you used on your Aida Sampler.
I will forever see little fishies in this stitch since you mentioned it!
Twisted Chain is one of those infinitely variable stitches!
