Since each side looks almost identical, I always end up using a safety pin to mark my RS!

At the bottom, the first row after being cast on, starts with a line and a space across on one side.There is no line on the other side, it immediately starts into the garter stitch shape.
I cannot remember which side is the right side and which is the wrong side, despite your labelling above.

It is good to visually see how stitches are made because I sometimes forget.

In the photos of my swatch, if you look at the very center column of the RS, the column is made of purl stitches. In the center column of the WS, the column is made of knit stitches. That’s the only difference – all the stitches that are knits on the RS will be purls on the WS. I hope this clarifies!

The ribbing above looks the same to me in both pictures. Would you please clarify?
Thanks.
