    Hi Johnny: The Knot Stitch would be a nice replacement for the Moss Stitch. Haven’t decided on my next project yet but for sure will give the Knot Stitch a try. Thanks for the directions.

  2. Diane says:

    It would be helpful to me if suggestions of where different stitches work well would be included in the instructions for the making of a stitich.

    • Johnny Vasquez says:

      We usually make some suggestions for what you can make with the stitch in the written description.

    Hi johnny,
    Although you give suggestions for projects, I would like to also know the” texture” of a knitted piece, ie, drapey, heavy…. I know itdepends on the yarn but it would give a bit of an idea.
    Thanks

    • Johnny Vasquez says:

      It depends on more than just the yarn. It is also effected by your tension, the size of your needles, and the stitch pattern. A cable pattern knit by a tight knitter with smaller needles than suggested by the ball band in a single ply handspun will have much different characteristics than the same stitch knit with big needles by a loose knitter in a 4 ply fingering silk alpaca blend.

      We will eventually include some more identifying characteristics like these. Most likely when we launch NSAD+.

    If you make a scarf using this stitch, do you typically need to add some ribbing on the sides, or is this a stitch that lies pretty flat on its own?
