I Kinda Miss Garter Stitch Now

Yeah, I know. It's crazy. But now I'm trying to knit stuff and I'm like "WTF? I have to look down at a pattern? What's up with that?"

And I knit something in stockinette and I was like, "Ew. It's so smooth!"

I have some kind of knitting Stockholm Syndrome, I think. (Please. Sob. Sob. Let me just knit every row. I'll be good. Sob. Sob.) I don't know how to break that. Maybe I need to just bust out some horribly complex lace pattern. And do it without a lifeline. Yeah. That will fix me.
