I am currently working on these Click Here only im going to add half fingers. the twined knitty is actualy not nearly as a pain as i thought it would be once you get into the swing of things. I actuly do use both ends of the skien and at the end of ever round i pin the yarn and spin the ball. I dont mind it actualy its a nice little breather and gives you a min to think about the next row.

Thanks, Robin! You’re lucky to have the book – I couldn’t find it for less than $45! I’m trying to scrounge up my own copy, since I’ll have to return this one to the library soon. Good luck!

Hi! I have had this book for several years and was always too busy to mess with trying this. I got the YarnBarn of Kansas (www.yarnbarn-ks.com) catalog and they have a sock pattern and yarn pack and I decided to purchase and try it. I also love the German (?) type of traveling stitch-type cable looking technique and that sort of stuff interests me (I bought that three-volume set in German language and have only enjoyed the charts and pictures, ha ha!). Anyway, I’ll keep you posted on my progress and I’ll monitor your blog. Good luck! Robin

That’s a good point. It won’t work for the cushion I’ve started on, but if I make another cushion, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks, Tracy!

I remembered you saying that you were working on a cushion for your dad. Twined knitting sounds perfect for something like cushions since the fabric will be thicker and more durable.
