In stockinette stitch, the rows you knit are done with the right side
facing you, and the rows you purl are done with the wrong side facing
you. I hope this makes sense. It's more obvious when doing cables or
other patterns, when there's a definite right and wrong side.

No question is ever silly, so ask away.
