do you count ridges?
can someone show me on this pic? and is there a RS or WS to garter stitch?
or on this one
i’m supposed to be counting rows and i lost count and the pattern said count rows or ridges…so i was wondering would it be easier to count ridges.

There’s no wrong/right side to garter. They’re the same. Every purl-looking row is a ridge. Of if you want to count rows, each purl row is one and the space between is another (it’s a knit row but it looks buried between the purls.)
Each ridge is made up of 2 rows of knitting.
Jan, that’s a GREAT illustration. Honestly, it’s something I’ve always wondered too!! I never work in garter stitch now (not if I can help it) so never really have the need to count ridges but I never really knew what that meant either! 
thanks that helped a lot!!!
You’re welcome. I got the image off off the Lion Brand site…is that bad? 
No, but only if you promise to knit your next 5 projects in Homespun! :roflhard:
