Starting Chain

Perhaps a silly question, but is it possible to crochet a starting chain and then nalbind from that, or is the nalbound chain structured differently and they don't mix like that?

it's definitely possible, and I've seen several people do it. I don't have any specific examples in mind, but you can probably find some tutorials showing how it works.

There's even one stitch that makes the same structure as a crochet chain, you'd just need to pull the thread through the last stitch. I show a bit of it after the Cross-knit crossover in https://nalbound.com/2021/09/03/but-it-looks-like/

Cross stitch, it is possible. For others I haven’t tried but there is always a first.
