Can Anyone Explain What I'm Trying to Say?

Yes, even I am confounded. I'm trying to find the name of a particular knitting stitch so I can look it up to relearn how to do it, but I can't quite describe it. It involves knitting into the stitch below the one that's on your needle. I remember using it on every other stitch on one row, then knitting or purling (I can't remember which) on the next row, with the two rows repeated.

Does this have a name? I am remembering how to do it incorrectly?

Yeah, there's a whole bunch of different patterns possible based on "knit in the stitch below", and particularly once there's purl and purl in the stitch below, it gets tricky. Fisherman's rib is probably the easiest.
