as luck would have it I've just bought sock knitting master class by Anne budd. I've just started getting into socks using the 2 at a time technique by Melissa Morgan Oakes. After doing several practice pairs I felt confident to branch out into something a bit more challenging. I love the look of your twisted stitch stockings and now I've watched your video feel I can do justice to them. P.s will be practicing on a hat or two and thank you for sharing you have a lovely manner and it's reassuring to no I can refer back gave a lovely day

Thank you for an inspirational and easy to understand technique video! Just this past week I decided to learn how to do twisted stitch knitting and have ordered the Erlbacher book. Your instruction for switching the order of the stitches was so simple to follow and I'm so glad I came across your video blog. I'm also glad to know that the bird was OK! :) Looking forward to more videos!

I just recently finished an Aran sweater with twisted stitch rows and small cables running up the sweater. The directions for the twisted cable were very confusing; thank you for a much easier and faster way of executing these stitches. I also just finished a circular raglan with an Aran front panel and a twisted stitch design traveling up each sleeve to the neck. It worked beautifully and when I do another, it will be SO much easier using your suggestions. Meg, THANK YOU!

Thank you for posting this and sharing in Facebook. I purchased the book from SHP several years ago with the intent of 'one day!' I think one day will come sooner now!
