Random knitting question, mostly curiosity - when a pattern says something like "decrease/increase every 10 rounds" - are y'all decreasing/increasing on the 10th round itself, or knitting 10 rounds and then changing it up on the 11th round?

I got a rly cool sweater (hand-me-down from a friend, store bought) and I really love the texture.
I was wondering if any of you might know how to achieve it what it's called?
i don't really knit but I'm interested to know how it's made
this is the front
and this is the back.
it's pretty thick, as if it's two layers of knitwear stuck together.
if anyone has a name of the texture so I can look it up or even a tutorial, I'd be very grateful if you told me! ^^
So I recently read in a comment from @dammitradar on someone elseβs knitting post that the reason stocking stitch curls is because purl stitches are slightly smaller than knit stitches, causing everything to curl inwards.
Which made me wonder why, when I work in the round (as I tend to do), why do my hems curl outwards?
Iβve been mitigating by doing 1-2 rounds of moss or rib to sort of stabilize, but Iβm genuinely curious about the physics of this phenomenon. Is it my technique, or some innate feature of continuous knit stockingette stitches are?
Knitblr! Iβm a longtime crocheter who has recently started knitting and is picking it up fairly quickly, but I want to make something more complicated than a dishcloth but not as lengthy and involved as a sweater! Are there super simple sock patterns out there that you would recommend for semi-noobs who want to make something wearable? Or are all socks so difficult that I should wait until I level up more first?
knitblr: a pattern question
I have been following a knitting pattern and this is the next step:
Is this a normal loop-stitch just phrased weirdly or is this something else with the same name? If it's the latter, can someone give some clarification on what to do?
The videos for loop-stitch don't seem to match these instructions, but I might just be misreading it.
this is the piece I am making (can't share the pattern cuz copyright):

I'm so basic BC so much of everything I knit is in black but I'm currently picturing a black sweater with the phrase "nobody knows I'm a dyke" worked into the front, but I'm not sure what colour the text should be. White is always a classic but I feel it's a bit boring. Suggestions please. Also if anyone knows of a nice cotton wool blend feel free to hmu
Help me, knitblr!
I'm knitting the Melides dress (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/melides-dress) in wool and having issues with gauge.
I gauge swatched thoroughly (including blocking my swatch and hanging it with small weights to get a stretched measurement). I'm normally pretty accurate at measuring gauge and don't really have sizing issues, and I'm a fairly advanced knitter.
But I finished the bodice and blocked it to try on, and I noticed that the waist was massive even though the bust fit fine. So I remeasured my gauge on the bodice and found that it was MUCH larger near the waist than on the bust. (5.8st/in on the waist, 6.5st/in on the bust. The bust gauge matches what I got on my swatch.)
I'm planning to frog and reknit it, but I'm wondering what the best way to proceed is. The pattern has you use a provisional cast-on -- could that be stretching things out near the bottom, even though I used a similar-weight yarn? Should I go down a waist size or two? Or should I just focus more on making sure those first couple rows are firm? Please help!
folks who work with wool! do yβall usually sew things together before blocking or do you block the pieces and then sew them together?
