This is my blog for my new business. I've been knitting since Feb 2009 after a break of 15+ years. I first learned from books but picked up again since my friend dyed the most beautiful yarns and I just couldn't collect them. I started to spin in Aug 2010 on a spindle and then on a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started to weave Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

Twist Stitches
Pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/saturns-rings-shawl
Yarn: Cephalopod Yarns Skinny Bugga! in Flamboyant cuttlefish
This is what I seem to be spending most of my time knitting. This and 2 test knits. What gets me is the twist stitches. There is a yarn over (YO) that you drop. The design is to make long stitches. What happens is try to knit the YO rather then the stitch. This is hard to correct without ripping back. Which isn't fun. Sometimes I can pick it up and fake it. Other times if your stitch count is off it doesn't twist right so that is when I have to rip back. I just need to take my time and make sure I have the stitch and NOT the YO.
