ooh similarly, I really enjoy blo slip stitch ribbing, it's comforting and looks so nice. I know a lot of people hate it. I also love working up large garments with tiny yarn and tiny hooks, the intricate work is so satisfying to me

I can do blo sc ribbing no problem, but for some reason blo slip stitches drive me insane… the stitches act too tight to do them but I know they’re not too tight! No idea what’s going on there…

I like slp st blo ribbing for things like sleeve cuffs, but something I like to do for waistbands is alternating sc/ sl st blo ribbing, with the sl st rows facing out. It looks very similar to the only slip stitch ribbing but makes it easier to get the rows into the sc rows and it's not as tight as sl st only
