O great stitch, you stockinette,
Knit in the round, your instructions
art so faithful, always:
Knit Knit Knit
Around and around:
Knit Knit Knit
A place of honor--First!
In all the stitch dictionaries,
yet shunned for fancier cousins:
complex cables, complicated lace.
Never failing, you go on:
Knit Knit Knit
and beyond your simplicity,
your basic beauty, one more fine quality
shines through--
you’re fast.
Intarsia, you’re another story.

Cute, La.
Is that a pocket? And I would add that stockinette stitch is just plain elegant in its simplicity.
