NOTE: From this point
forward through the whole pattern, on even-numbered
rows, you will always be knitting the st before
the marker through the back loop, knitting the stitch
after the marker through the front as normal, then
the next st through the back loop. The untwisted
line of sts will later be dropped and unravelled,
and the adjacent columns of twisted sts will stay
nice and tight, helping the fabric keep its structure.
