I’ve made tank tops and vests this way many times. I use an invisible cast on, aka a provisional cast on. I did the front and joined the 2 straps, knitting a bit, then picked up the cast on to go the other way and do the back before joining. So far, so good. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But, when I join the back part of the straps, casting on the number of stitches I need, it always gets twisted. It feels straight. I check it carefully to see it’s straight. But I knit a couple rows and it’s twisted. I’ve tried it probably 4 times, and it’s twisted every single darn time. Why? Why oh why oh why?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I tried doing the cast on as simple backward loop—twisted. I tried using the cable cast on—twisted again. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m at my wit’s end.
