ppl: knitting stockinette will make your project's sides curl up because of the vertical and horizontal tension so be sure to add a garter stitch border to avoid this!

me: very cool thanks! the garter stitch border is so cute too

also me: does a stockinette gauge swatch on 6.5mm needles with aran yarn instead of 5mm needles for funsies and it doesn't curl up. holy shit... who knew using bigger needles, thus increasing the space between the stitches and loosening them, would prevent curling. science...... i am a woman in stem! bunsen burner!

#actually the sides are curling but its only by 1 stitch and it gets rid of the weird twisted stockinette border so swag. knitting this #square has cuased me immense happiness.#also the front is pretty obvi but the back is soo satisfying augahhh i LOVE seeing the interlocking stitches.
