Hello! I’m new to knitting and I’m knitting my first garment, so forgive me if this isn’t the smartest question 🫠 I’m knitting the Vilma top by Gregoria fibers and I just did the provisional cast on and I’m about to start knitting stockinette but it says first row is a WS row. Maybe this is me reading into it too much into it but does that mean that I purl the first row? I thought stockinette always starts with knit first? Thank you so much in advance!
