See? I really am twisted...

I have been having some problems with my knitting...I was working on a project that I can't talk about yet :D and ended up rowing out - every three rows or so, I would get a gap in the stitches. I figured out it was because I was twisting them, went back and looked at some other projects and realized I'd been twisting them all along. I can't seem to stop. I know it seems simple enough, but when I knit the 'right' way, or even in combination knitting, it seems like the stitches lie oddly and feel too loose... when I knit them the way that feels right, they end up twisted. At least they're consistently twisted, but still... So, do I do it 'right' and hope eventually it starts to feel normal, or do I just live with being twisted? Ahhh, decisions... I have discovered that I can knit the stitches correctly in the round, but not flat - oh well, life (and knitting!!) would be boring if it was easy!

Here are just a few of the things I've done lately...
Washcloths for DSister...

This one is chevrons - it's kind of hard to see....

This one is diagonals... they should be nice and scrubby!


And here's a Fair Isle flip-top glove I'm doing for my BIL... they were supposed to be his Christmas present, but I didn't like the way they turned out the first time, and ended up starting over...these are much better!!
