knit 5, purl 5, but the opposite when you go the other direction.

Just a couple minutes ago I ripped a couple years' worth of knitting off the bamboo circular needles. Not a big deal, seriously. I'm using rumply purplish yarn with bluish/greenish/grayish flecks, and the basketweave I'd created was only 5 inches deep and far too many stitches across to make a reasonable neck scarf. (You always knit a neck scarf if you're just doing it as a nervous habit, have a pile of leftover yarn, AND don't like counting stitches. At all.) I will start it again. Scarf-width this time.

Wow--it's 10 p.m. I gotta go to bed.
