| Okay I’m graduated from Scarves to afghan’s..or am trying, and I have a question:
I’m making a baby afghan and I am just knitting every row. It’s 7 rows with a size 13 needle, 7 rows with a size 3 needle…suppose to look pretty neat!
When I made scarves I knit one row, purled one row…I knit continental, and to purl, I taught myself to knit backwards…American/English is it called were you throw the yarn? So I don’t really know how to purl, but it doesn’t matter….anyway…
When I am knitting I notice that I put the needle in I put it in the front (leading edge?)…but then the next row, when I put it in the front it causes it to twist, so the leading edge is in the back…why? In order not to make it twist I have to put the needle in the back. Does any of that make sense? I’m really trying not to twist my yarn…not that it will matter, but I am trying. Vickey-MN |

| I answered this question at the Kitchen Table thread. Also there are lots of sites to demonstrate how to make stitches. Stitchguide.com is one. |
