It’s kind of cool when a knitting stitch lives so precisely up to its name! 🤓 The stitch we’re exploring today is the Dimple Stitch, which features a gorgeous and interesting right and wrong side, despite not technically being reversible. The sweater I think this particular stitch would look beautiful for is a thick, elbow-length number with distinct rockabilly energy. The thick fabric? C’mon!

Dimple Stitch: Wrong Side

Dimple Stitch

In Barbara Walker’s A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, Dimple Stitch is described: “Slipped strands, caught up 4 rows later, are used to pull this bold, puffy fabric together. The wrong side, which might serve just as well as as right side, shows a deep honeycomb formation in purl stitches.”

As you can see, Walker was correct in describing this stitch as “pulled together.” Not entirely unlike creating the repeating butterfly motif of the Little Bow Stitch (find a tutorial here), strands of yarn are carried across a few slipped stitches before being gathered up from below, resulting in a knit fabric with serious texture.

When it’s August & the crew has the day off, the When it’s August & the crew has the day off, the only thing to do is a Knitflix marathon! I hadn’t seen the latest season of Stranger Things and had a TON of knitting to do, so we decided why not make a day of it? For non knitters, this is a pretty accurate depiction of what a dream day looks like for maker types. (Plus or minus a cranky but cute house pet.)

What does your dream knitting day look like?

Just making this for fun & to see how it feels to distill a yarn day into a short video like this. Big thank you to Jamie & Mariah for being my friends, even though they said “it’s okay if you don’t tag me in this.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think about the wrong side of my intarsia knitti I think about the wrong side of my intarsia knitting kind of like some embroiderers do: I get (probably too) excited when the back’s neat and tidy. Are you this way? Is it just me? 
.
Pictured is the wrong side of a large primary color intarsia swatch I knit for an upcoming design in @brooklyntweed Arbor. When I pulled it from my studio, I thanked my former self for talking the time to knit, weave in ends, & block a clean swatch already. As critical as they are, I’m excited to not have to make one today. I’ll advocate for swatching all day long, but I won’t pretend it’s like the funnest step in the process! 😆🧶
