:) Confession: Me vs the Garter Stitch {*heavy sigh*}:
Once upon a time, in two thousand and eleven, I learned how to knit. I refused to knit anything using the garter stitch, the stitch where you knit every row, front and back. It was just “too simple”… it was for newbies. {Clearly I was in denial of being a beginner knitter.} However, now as a seasoned knitter I’m finally embracing the garter stitch. And I’m in love! The garter stitch creates the perfect texture, stretch and squish for any cozy project. {in my humble opinion}
