On the edge of a nightmare



Okay, a 2x2 swatch of twined knitting doesn't count as knitting, does it?. I can do this technique! Twined knitting is not difficult at all and going back to English style knitting after being exclusively continental for over a year is sort of nice. More comfortable than it used to be. I can see how this technique can easily become a twisted, knotted yarn nightmare with all the twisting of the yarns that go on.

I'm thinking that when I start a project using the twined method, I'm going to set my two balls of yarn in a bowl and set the bowl on a little lazysusan. This way as the twist tightens up, I can just spin the lazysusan to untwist my yarn. Clever, yes, portable, no.
