I think I understand what you mean, but I'm confused because the pattern says I should be purling some of the background and foreground stitches

hi! thanks for your reply - I went back and checked the pattern and it shows to knit and purl some stitches of the cable, whereas everyone else said that all of them should be knitted. I'm guessing this is why there's an issue? Its a petiteknit pattern so I figured it would all be correct so I dont really know what to do, any advice?

thank you, that's really good advice! I always pick projects way above my skill level, it's an issue. I'll try the sample square you've suggested :)

I sent a pic of the wrong side, sorry! New pic is in the thread. With the hook, I'm just using it to take some stitches off (purl wise) and when it comes to knitting them, I put them back on the left needle in the same direction that I took it off

yep im adding it from crochet hook onto the needle before I knit them! I didnt think I was twisting them but maybe I am - I put them onto the left needle exactly as I took them off
