I did learn one new trick for when doing the ribbing. I usually like a twisted rib stitch and I did see through the posts that it was ok to do. But I just did the knit 2, purl 1 ribbing. Here’s the trick I learned from a fellow knitter that she found on the internet:

The last row of stockinette before you start the ribbing, I did this: purl the first stitch (faux seam stitch), slip 2 stitches, knit 1 until there are 2 stitches left, which I slipped these 2 stitches. I did this all the way around using my gauge needle. The next row, using the smaller needle (US 1), the ribbing, I purled the first stitch, knit 2 stitches, purl 1 until the last 2 stitches, knit 2 BOR.

It made the start of the ribbing lay nicer.
