Learning: The Spike Stitch

I've had a photo of the spike stitch over at a  Pinterest  board of crochet items I wanted to make. I had wanted to try this and yesterday I saw the pattern for it  at Crochet Me,  reminding me to get started.
So I got started, using Elann's Lara cotton in marine, oasis and butter. One change I did was to use hdc for the spikes, which made for a defined strip, which is okay for this.The stitch is easy to learn. The cloth made is stiff, but I'm using cotton. I'm going to try it on worsted wool. I thought of making a dishcloth but instead will make a sewing needle case.

    What a unique stitch and a very pretty one at that. I have crocheted for years and I've never seen this stitch, but I like it and will try it out. Thanks for including the pictures.

    I love this stitch, but I need to know what the multiple is in order to figure out a larger blanket.

    As you are working into the holes rather than the top of the stitch as normal, it looks like the pattern is gradually moving across one stitch at a time.
    Is this what's happening and if so how do you compensate for it please?
    Finally,please could we see pics of the whole afghan.
    Kindest regards and happy hooking
