Ugh, Ribbing

[atherleisure]

I’m halfway through six inches of 1x1 ribbing on my 1930’s sweater. I hate 1x1 ribbing. You feel like you’ve knit twice as many stitches. Once I’m through another thirty rows, the body of the sweater will be done, and I will start the sleeves. Of course, they’ll start with 1x1 ribbing.

1x1 ribbing is so numbing.

Yuck. Ribbing.

In my head, that meant just a 1” x 1” square which didn’t seem that bad. But ribbing is more than 1”. Hope it’s not too onerous

It’s knit one, purl one, repeat to the end of the row. After every stitch you have to move the yarn from front to back or back to front. It’s not hard, just tedious.
