Thanks for explaining the LT…I haven’t gotten to the RT yet but will be there in about 10 more rows.

In Barbara Walker’s “Learn to Knit”, her method #1 of the LT appears to be the same as yours, I think. I asked my forum friends on Crochetville.org for help (yes we have knitters, too!). One of them gave me your link. What I needed to know was exactly where to insert the right needle into the 2nd st. Didn’t know if I should

(1) go from the front of the work to back in between the 1st and 2nd st to knit the back loop or to

(2) go behind the work to insert the needle into the 2nd st.

Either way it seems purlwise to me. Anyway, your description looks right; the 1st st appears to be slanting to the left. In the square I’m making (#25 in the book), this is done after casting on and purling one row which for me makes it hard to tell…not enough length here yet.

It doesn’t give her preference in this book. Is it her Method 2? I haven’t tried it but knitting the 2 st together just doesn’t sound right. But surely it will work, too.

Thanks again for the help!

You are really great at knitting. I am sure “dad” would have appreciated the sweater that you did for him. Gifts that are personally made are more precious than gifts bought at the store.

[...] This Aran sure has a lot of cable crossings, and I got tired of using the darn cable needle. I decided to work the crosses without a cable. That’s fairly easy to do when crossing only two stitches as for a Left Twist (LT) or Right Twist (RT) which I show for “Wicker Work”. [...]

Help with a stitch, beginner me. I guess it’s kind of a twist stitch. The directions are: Line 3; K1 C2F, C2B, * K2, C2F, C2B, repeat from * K1. Do you offer help with this kind of problem? This stitch is defined as: (Cross 2 back or 2 front) K into back or front of 2nd stitch on needle, then K 1st stitch, slipping both off needle at same time. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to do it.
