Stitch patterns: an overview

Spring - spring - spring - spring - spring - spring - spring - spring - spring
Spring is springing out all over on the beautiful isle of Mayne.
Happy spring!

In my small knitting library, books on stitch patterns seriously out number all other topics. These books are relatively new acquisitions. Some were bought most were acquired: hand-me-downs or gifts. I will be using these books to discuss our next topic - Stitch patterns.
The following is a brief overview:
-An introduction of stitch patterns commonly used in Olavia's hand knitting patterns.
-The characteristics of stitch patterns (i.e. stockinette stitch and garter stitch)
-How to create your own stitch patterns.
-Where to find new stitch patterns.
-The history of stitch patterns (i.e. knitting stockings and Aran)
