K1 P2? That's not going to produce a rib unless the second row is K2 P1! Did you mean K2 P2?
I was, just a couple of days ago, proofing/checking a 'Beginning Knitting' Lesson Plan for a friend who's applying for a knitting teaching position; one of the things she mentions is how to read your knitting, and 'knit what you see' - purl stitches look like knit stitches on the back, and vice versa, so if you want to produce something that looks the same as the stitch below it you need to PURL if there's a bump, KNIT if there's a V-shape. You can see what the stitches are on the needle by looking to see if there are bumps at the front (purl) or not, too.
Of course, it is k2, p1 on the WS, but on the RS it comes out as p2,k1. The yarn is kinda flat and ribon-like, so I just have to get used to how it looks knitted up. I completed 2 whole rows this morning with no mistakes, though. I only have 3 more rows to go before I can (thankfully) begin the 13 inches of stockinette.

Any help?

I haven't been keeping up with my journal here but I am changing that - it's important to me.
