Never done such a long pattern repeat. New to me stitches Tw2R and Tw2L

I’m so excited to finally share something I’ve been working toward for a long time… My very first Skool course is live — Unlock the Secrets of Yarn. You’ll find it in the Classroom at the top of the A River of Yarn Skool page. If you’ve ever stood in front of a wall of yarn wondering which one is actually right for this project? — this course is for you. Unlock the Secrets of Yarn was created to help knitters and crocheters truly understand: - how yarn is made - how different fibres behave - why some projects succeed and others disappoint - and how to confidently choose the right yarn every time - No more guessing, No more “this looked perfect in the skein but failed in the project.” No more endless internet searches with conflicting advice. This is a self-guided, comprehensive course that walks you step by step through yarn in a way that finally makes it all make sense — from fibre content and yarn construction to real-world project choices. Inside the course you’ll find: - 160 detailed presentation slides - Clear explanations you can actually understand - Exercises and hands-on activities - Videos and downloadable resources - Real case studies (yes — yarn gone wrong and done right) - Quizzes and tests with answers provided - Tools you’ll return to again and again Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about yarn — all in one place. I designed this course the same way I taught for 30 years in the classroom, just adapted for a digital format you can work through at your own pace. You don’t just learn what — you learn why. This course isn’t about memorizing facts, it’s about building confidence. By the end, you’ll: - shop for yarn with intention - understand labels instead of avoiding them - match yarn to projects successfully - and feel empowered, not overwhelmed I am incredibly proud of this course, and I can’t wait for you to dive in. 👉 Head to the Classroom in A River of Yarn Skool and start Unlock the Secrets of Yarn today.

Any gift ideas for young newlyweds? I was thinking of a blanket/throw but what’s a good yarn/pattern? Knit or crochet.
