so, when i started knitting i did lots and lots of things wrong, because well, no one told me not to. so, here's a couple of tips i've learned. post a comment if you've got some you've learned that i haven't listed.
always slip stitches purl-wise unless told otherwise.
except in ssk, for which you slip knitwise.
always slip the first stitch in every row unless told otherwise.
if you want to untwist a stitch that is laying on your needles wrong (unless you knit combination) knit/purl in the back loop. it'll automatically untwist it.
so... what's you fave tip?

Good tips! I'm still learning about the ol' twisted stitches. I am very good at twisted stitches {G}
don't feel bad, i spent the first two years twisting ALL my stitches. i was knitting in the backloop ALL the time. silly me.
