"Ribbing, moss, seed and garter are all balanced and combine the yin and yang of knitting"
-Stephanie Pearl-Mcphee
Well, that is just so true. In life, it's all about balance. Even with/in our knitting.
Drysdale has an introduction in the book that explains the beginning of our beloved passion. I'm shocked I have never taken time to learn more about the history of my love! I learned that until the early sixteenth century, the knit stitch was the only stitch used. Working in the round with every round knitted produced the "stockinette stitch" pattern. Purl stitches first appeared in the mid-sixteenth century and earned its name because their stitches represented beads, or "pearls".
The nice peeps over at Sterling would like to giveaway a copy to one of my readers. If interested, please leave a comment here before Monday, October 2nd at 5pm EST, and I'll have the random number generator choose a number.
