Didn’t have to count rows or keep track. Just kept an eye on the white ripples and my A-hole paint marks.
Watched YouTube videos on better ways to start/finish bands. Learned how to weave in ends and that definitely improved the appearance of my band ends!
Need to work on keeping a more consistent width

01/04/20: Mercy Grimm commented at the 12th Night Artisan Display that this band was actually documentable!
