Embossed diamond stitchEntry/Object ID
2020.1.253Description
From the book: "These diamonds are formed by increases, and thus the pattern has a tendency to spread out laterally and requires comparatively few stitches for a desired width, especially when the panel is repeated as an all-over pattern. When using the panel in this way, with two or three or more repetitions, be sure to use the entire panel, rather than fusing the 6 purls sts between diamonds into 3, as is usually done in cable patterns."Collection

Suzy was taught to knit either by her grandmother or her mother, though she can’t remember which one. Regardless, knitting was part of her early life, and she can remember her grandmother’s ribbon knit dress, and that her own first project was a pair of navy blue mittens - one of which had a longer, more pointed thumb than the other! She put down her needles to raise her children, but once they left for college she picked them back up and hasn’t stopped since! She is recently retired and loves having more time to travel, to enjoy the company of family and friends, and to knit, and sometimes she gets to combine all three at the same time.Lexicon
