I finally decided to try the Norwegian purl stitch I've seen everyone on TikTok talking about. I think I like it. My stitches look a little wonky, but I'm not sure if that's the fault of the technique or just my execution of it. I haven't figured out how to do the Norwegian purl on the first stitch of a row (and I'm not sure if it's possible), so I've been doing a normal purl for the first stitch and Norwegian ones for all subsequent stitches in a row.
