The knit side creates a nice smooth surface and you can easily see the knit stitches on the front side or right side of your work. See all the V's? Those are knit stitches.
When you turn the stocking stitch pattern over you will see all those bumps. This is the purl side. Usually it is the wrong side of your work however it is also called reverse stockinette stitch.
If you are working the reverse stockinette stitch pattern the purl side will actually be on the right side and the wrong side will be the knit side.

Crafting Anecdotes: KNIT HAPPENS!
“Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.”
I used to knit on the bus pretty regularly and its not unusual to get a comment or question from a stranger. But one time in particular I really broke the ice when my ball of yarn fell out of my bag and rolled all the way down to the other end of the car. Everyone burst into laughter because it was so unexpected and from then on the whole mood of the car changed. Everyone was talking to me, and to each other, and there were a lot more smiles the rest of the way home.
