Garter stitch is the peanut butter and jam of knitting. The homemade mac and cheese. It lacks the chic of stockinette and the mystique of lace. Instead of a complex cable it is simply an expanse of even ridges.
It is in that basic simplicity, however, that one finds beauty.
I love knitting in all its many forms and techniques. But on a blustery March Sunday some garter stitch short rows, a good book and some sleeping cats…. That is joy.

Yes, there’s just nothing like garter stitch. It’s just good for the soul. And that pattern looks like so much fun!!

I was just thinking the other day that I don’t have any garter stitch on the needles right now and that’s just wrong. There is true comfort in it. I think I know the pattern you are knitting…very cool! And I’m really loving the color combination you’ve got going on there! Can’t wait to see an update on it.
