If it’s Middles, I think they take drop offs for store credit so it’s just as likely someone else is swapping your books.

You can wind a contrast color of waste yarn between your stitches—so like every 3rd or 4th stitch pass the waste yarn back or front. You can then use that as a visual marker to orient up and down. It’s easiest to do while casting on, but you can do it with a tapestry needle afterwards too

Did you use vertical columns for a special reason or is that how you usually do it? Asking because I usually do horizontal rows and am interested if there’s a reason to do one over the other.

Best visual I’ve seen for Kitchener yet. Also makes it easier to visualize how to do Kitchener in pattern if you have knits and purls.

it's stockinette. The columns look that way because of how the yarn is spun and plied. This article does a good job of describing it:

Ohhh I like that. Did the long seed make the differences in yarn weight blend or really pop?
