So if you’re knitting in the round, and you need to do garter stitch, would you purl every row or would you knit 1 row purl one row? I’m afraid it is the latter, and I did the former, and now the bottom of the sweater is rolling under. I really don’t want to tear out 5 rows, but it is a gift and I want it to be nice. :pout:
Garter stitch in the round IS alternating knit and purl rows.
But If I were knitting flat and I alternated knit and purl I’d have stockinette. I’d knit every row for garter.
So in the round, if I knit every row, I get stockinette, and now I think maybe what I did was just make stockinette on the inside of the garment? :shrug:
Garter stitch in the round is knit one row, purl one row. Purling every row makes reverse stockinette (“inside-out” stockinette).
No, garter stitch gives you ridges or bumps on both sides. You’ve just described stockinette stitch.
In the round, garter stitch is knit one round, purl one round.

Oh my goodness…I’m a goob. Soooooo sorry, y’all are totally right. Where, or where is the brain??? Deep in Google-land for my take-home final.
Thanks for correcting me, ladies. I’m going to edit my first response now. 
Too late… it’s still in my quote of your reply. :teehee:

Thanks ladies, I frogged 
But I started over and now it looks great, so that’s the silver lining I guess! I must have been tired last night when i purled 6 straight rows! :oops:
