[Nfb-krafters-korner] nightmare with circular knitting

You definitely want net on top of that. If you cast on and even numbered stitches then you will always start each row with a net.

In my mind I will end the first row of 108 with P 1. That means I will start the second row with another K 1.. Does this work differently because we are knitting in the circle? It appears I will be starting the second row with another K 1 which is what I started the first row with. I don't know if this makes any sense or not. Therefore the K 1 would be on top of each other which in my mind would not make a rib. I am thinking we need to have a P 1 above the K 1.

> When you have gone and added all your stitches on one needle before you even think about joining them take the needle with the cast on stitches and start from the end that has your tail yarn and make sure you feel each of your stitches that they are laying down flat extending away from the needle.  Lie it flat on the table and be sure you start from one side and go to the other side and just put them all flat going in the same direction going down from your needle.  When you pick your needle up your tail should be in your left hand and the point of the needle in your left hand should be pointing toward your right.

Now hold it in your right hand and the point should be pointing left in your right hand and have the working yarn ball coming off that right hand needle.  Poke the needle into the first stitch on your left hand needle and start the pattern as directed by Ramona working right to left around the vest.

When I had knitted mittens in the round it was not too difficult to keep the stitches from twisting because there weren't that many stitches. but with not having enough room on my circs to spread out the knitting enough to find a twist, I could not figure out how to keep it straight.
