I am slipping the first stitch purlwise and knitting the 2nd stitch for a nicer line. I didn’t like the bumps left by K2 at the beginning of each row. If you look closely you can see where I did the setup row and then changed it (photo #5 if counting from the top down).

I really love this yarn and the size 19 needles didn’t even bother me.

Fun project!
