I did the first round flat before joining and it went much better. Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ll try doing the first row flat for the next squares and see if that helps. It’s too many stitches at the beginning to go on the 16” circ. I tried at first…

Thanks for all the responses. I wasn’t sure if it was twisted but just noticed it. I’m going to have to pull out some rounds but hoping I won’t have to start over entirely. I don’t remember if it’s a 32” or 40” but it’s kind of curling up, which is making it harder to figure out if I’m twisting.

I’m about 10 rounds into my second of this set and just realized my yarn is twisted. I’m having a really hard time not twisting in the round with my long circular needle. Any tips?
