With the work facing you. Bumpy side is made with purl stitches. Smooth V side with knit stitches.

If you stopped in the middle of the row, tug on the working yarn. It should be attached to the stitches on the right needle.

If you’re knitting flat the yarn will only be attached to the right needle if you are in the middle of a row. In stockinette if you are starting a new row the bumpy side is purl, the V or smooth side is knit.

The attached sample of ribbing shows what the stitches look like.
