[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Colorwork and twisting

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jaycie.
I don't really know what stranded colorwork is.  Can you explain?
I don't think my pattern is stranded.  I knit 3 stitches of color A, then 1 of B, and repeat.

I've finished the colorwork, at least for now.  Now I'm confused because my instructions say to knit one row and purl the next, then it says "Round1:  knit, with decrease at stitch X.  Round2:  knit with an increase at stitch X".  Um, what happened to the purl?  
But it looks nice in stockinette, so I'm going with that.
Tracy

Are you doing stranded colorwork? 

If so, I use one strand to pull over the other and the other one stays under so they don’t get twisted
