Knitting stitches, color patterns...

I haven't thought of this before - there's nothing that says one cannot "tilt" the colorwork pattern and knit it horizontally instead... that little one with triangles becomes quite interesting...

You see? (It's a little too narrow swatch but you can see how it works. :-)

About the knitting stitches then:

KnitWiki has very nice "spider" patterns - lace
"Star rib mesh"
Here's a very nice top with English Mesh Lace
Very nice stitches here: K1,P1, Keeping You in Stitches Studio
- they have Spanish Mesh stitches
Lolita net socks have a nice fishnet lace pattern
Bird's eye lace shawl
Here's some nice stitches too and here

Today's free pattern is Baby Surprise Jacket - the one piece knitting by Elizabeth Zimmermann :-)

I have a problem...

This is the peacock sock from Maggie's Rags...
I like the pattern. I would like to make it in peacock colors...
It's a tiny square stitch pattern, which would do fine as anything... but I don't know how it's done... And it's a copyrighted pattern too, and I have no possibility to get the pattern :-(

There are so many fascinating knitting stitch patterns out there... it's amazing that this variety has been created with k's, p's, yo's and k2tog's...

You can for example look at these stitches

Yes, it says "dishcloth index", but they are actually stitches. Dishcloth 21; Feather Lace, looks like this sock...
