Description

From the book: "Although a lattice done by the twist-stitch method is not quite as tidy as that done by the cable method (Basic Lattice), it is adequate, and useful for those who are not experienced with cabling. For best results a smallish needle should be used, to make a close fabric. Twists tend to open the stitches a little, which might leave holds when an over-large needle is used."

Notes

Abby has been knitting since she was 15 and was taught mostly by her ex-boyfriend's mother. She adores textural knitting and found doing this swatch a nice change of pace to knit swatches for their own sake instead of for a larger finished project.
