New discovery!

Wheee.... Apparently I haven't done twisted ribbing since I still purled continental style. I hated it with a passion. To the point I frogged a project because I couldn't imagine doing inches of it. Fast forward to today. Pattern called for it and I thought...give it a try for a round. Since it has been years, I was thinking, I have more experience maybe it won't be any more miserable than regular ribbing (which I also hate with a passion). So I tried it. Guess what? I like it! Turns out with Norwegian purling (my preferred method) it is easy. No bad words, no frustration, no weird twists of the wrist to make the yarn drop when switching from purl to knit. I'm a bit slow but it is going smoothly.

Now for the real trick! Can I do a KTBL, P1 for 15-18 rows without messing up?!?
