ribbing all twisted
Hello, I'm a newbie to knitting & this is my first attempt at ribbing. I'm doing k2, p1 & my first row is all twisted & I have stitches crossing over other stitches on my needle. I'm not even sure which loop to put the needle in for the next row as it's so twisted. What am I doing wrong? Should I be swapping the yarn to in front of the needle when I purl, or some other tricky trick?
