Circular knitting woes
How can I keep stitches from twisting? Pattern calls for 240 sts on 24 in circular needle but they keep twisting. Could I use a little longer needle to start with and then transfer over to the 24 inch?
Thanks, TeresaB

Are you supposed to join for knitting in the round or just knit flat? A large amount of sts are going to twist around a circular, they just do. You don't have to use the 24", if you want to, cast on and knit a few rows/rounds with a 32 or 36" if that
