[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Thanks.  It is heart braking, but I will have to start over again.  Thankfully I have enough time.

Thanks for everyones help.
Guess I will get started at lunch.
Good thing I bought extra yarn, one per hat.

Terry:

If you've twisted the hat, the only way to uhnwork a twist when knitting in the round is to catch it very early on and get rid of it on the first or second  rows of knitting.

When working in the round, before you join the two ends to form a closed circle, you must first make sure by feeling, that all the stitches are laying out flat, hanging down in the same direction.  If you feel that they are spiraling around the cable, or needle portion of the needle, use your fingers to straighten them out.  Then just be extremely careful as you bring the needle points together to begin your circular knitting project.

Even after you join and complete the first round feel the stitches again and make sure they did not twist on you, so actually you can still straighten them out on the second round by untwisting them with your hands.  After you work several rows and know they are all straight and there is no twist in your work you will not have to worry about it from that point on.
