Tag (also known as it, tips, tig, touch, tiggy, tick, dobby, chasing, chasemaster, chasey and other names) is an informal playground game that usually involves two or more players attempting to "tag" other players by touching them with an object, usually their hands. Played throughout the world, tag is inherently simple—most forms require neither teams, nor scores, nor sports equipment such as balls; but it may be made more complex with various rule modifications. Both of these aspects make tag a popular game amongst children and it is often played in informal areas such as playgrounds or backyards. Many forms of Tag include additional rules regarding whether another player is eligible as a target, such as "tag no backs" where a player cannot tag the person who has just tag them, other things that render a player to be ineligible as a target is when player is on or in a predetermined safe zone (glue) “off the ground", "touching a particular structure" etc.

A very easy way to achieve a gingham plaid effect. Using two colors and doubling the yarn, you get three different color ways:
               2 strands of A held together,
               2 strands of B held together
               1 strand of A held together with 1 strand of B.
  
A very portable project because the afghan is knit in seed stitch in strips. Looks great with or without fringe.
