Not Right

There's an art installation in a lobby in Canary Wharf - it's advertised all over the windows - called "knit one purl one". It's three very long knitted ropes in primary colors, each of them in its own glass box, along with pictures of the ropes wandering around the building. All fine, I suppose, if a little to modern-art for me (in that "I guess this could be meaningful, but I don't quite get it" way). But there was this commentary about people chanting "knit one purl one" to themselves as they knit (I don't actually think anyone has to chant that for very long)... but the ropes aren't in K1P1 ribbing! They're in stockinette! I find this grievously wrong.
