New to knitting. Knit stitch was easy. Purl stitch was easy. Rib knit might actually kill me. (lemmy.ca)

Something about my brain is refusing to accept switching sides. I forget which one I'm supposed to do every time. I know practice makes perfect but it's gonna take a lot of practice to make up for my bonkers brain.

Just wanted a bit of a rant. I guess I'll keep making squares and trying my best.

I surprisingly enjoy purling but I can only do it English style. Continental purling makes no sense to my brain. Continental knits and English purls for me are the same tension so that works out even if it's a bit odd.
