About 15 years ago, I came to the happy realization that I was equally comfortable with purling as with knitting. I’m not sure why it took so long. But I remember as a child I would always finish with a purl row if knitting stockinette stitch, so that the next time I picked up the project, I would do so willingly because I would be on a knit row. Every project was subject to this rule. Hated purling. Doesn’t everyone, at first?
But lately I’ve begun to realize how beautiful the knit stitch looks as it travels along in a field of purl stitches. Texture. One of the features that makes this craft of “knitting” so beautiful. Perhaps I should call myself a “purler” instead of a “knitter”!
So, here’s my latest free pattern offering, Diamond Array Sock Pattern, with a cute but true little story at the beginning.

Gorgeous socks! Thank you for the pattern! Oh! and I still hate purling but not as much as I used to now that I learned to knit continental. Your lovely pattern certainly deserves the effort! 😉
