I used Cascade BFL (100% Blue Faced Leicester Wool) and a US#8 (5.0 mm) needle.
For comparison, here’s both my RS and WS .
I love the way the RS looks! It was a complete surprise to me because I thought it was rather ordinary and I didn’t think much of it until I made this swatch.
A little aside on the way Knotions works.
Jill Bickers selects the stitch patterns for Stitchopedia, and then I knit them.
I really like this approach and I think it makes the magazine stronger. This is a great example! I would have passed this one right on by, but Jill knew better.
I also love how textured it is.
If I had this on, I’d be caught just staring at it maybe a million times a day. Or just rubbing it between two fingers. It’s really that beautiful.

About the Instructor: Jody Richards
Jody is the founder and lead editor of Knotions. She loves poring over stitch dictionaries and trying out new stitches.
She’s also on a mission to get everyone to embrace the blocking. And, to avoid using garter stitch edges in knit swatches made for gauge.
And while she likes all things crafting (well ok, except that one thing), yarn crafts are her true love (and she has the stash to prove it).
