I don&rsquo;t mind it at all - it didn&rsquo;t take a tremendous amount but the result seems better. Of course, I think the most important factor is to keep it in a consistent setting, preferably finishing all ribbing in a knitting session.</p>https://purringyarn.pages.dev/knitlog_20260622/Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:54:00 -0400https://purringyarn.pages.dev/knitlog_20260622/<h2 id="sample-knit-2">Sample Knit #2 <a href="#sample-knit-2"><svg class="anchor-symbol" aria-hidden="true" height="26" width="26" viewBox="0 0 22 22" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="currentColor"></path> <path d="M3.9 12c0-1.71 1.39-3.1 3.1-3.1h4V7H7c-2.76.0-5 2.24-5 5s2.24 5 5 5h4v-1.9H7c-1.71.0-3.1-1.39-3.1-3.1zM8 13h8v-2H8v2zm9-6h-4v1.9h4c1.71.0 3.1 1.39 3.1 3.1s-1.39 3.1-3.1 3.1h-4V17h4c2.76.0 5-2.24 5-5s-2.24-5-5-5z"></path> </svg></a> </h2> <p>Finished the 1x1 ribbing of the body. This time I tried another way to achieve a neater 1x1 by working purls in Eastern way. It worked out beautifully! My observation is the wrong side of ribbing is noticeably neater in this way (compared to my normal ribbing, which has less difference), so I&rsquo;m considering to also work the knit in the similar manner with the Eastern way. Maybe I&rsquo;ll give it a try on the cuff?</p>
