I am having trouble with this pattern...it says[S 1 as if to knit, place back on LH needle in new orientation, k2tog,tbl, cont in rib pat to 2 sts before next marker, k2tog,sl marker] twice.....what is new orientation? does twice really mean 2 rows?

When you slip as if to knit the stitch will twist. So they want you to slip it as if to knit and then transfer it back to the left hand needle. Twice is not two rows. It means to repeat everything in the brackets two times.
