I should be starting a project... but I forgot how many sts to cast on. And how many yarn overs (for the drawstring) to do. I should have written it down....

Yes, you twist the two colors together to avoid holes, and you might want to have some friendly eyes look at the result. The twist should be almost invisible on the front of the work, so you don't want to twist more than once. I make a sweater on circular needles with a three-colored yoke, and it does not need the twist because the colors do not pull apart if you keep the tension even. When you are knitting back and forth, especially with a garter stitch, the twist helps keep it smooth and even. I am working on my schedule to figure out when I can do a class. I will use Jaycie as a test, and we will hopefully come up with some good explanations of the technigue. I think she is starting a project to be ready for the intarsia next week.
