Chubut lace: untwisting

 It became clear with my lace swatch that the pattern amendment I made i.e. SSK every second lace tow did not remove the twisting from the knitted piece;


See, still shows an anticlockwise twist.

However, using YO k 2 tog THROUGH BACK LOOPS every row seems to fix the problem.

So I could continue knitting this to make small neck tie perhaps with a nick pin

BUT

I then decided I din't like to much and changed over to trying a 2X2 rib on 4 mm needles instead.
Much prefer this - for now anyway.
Next up, the orange and tan 2 plys, currently drying on the swift after being set in warm water.
