Problem....

Hi all,

Seems like my style of knitting is not compatible with the pattern.
I don't know if anyone is familiar with Annie Modesitt's "combination knitting", but that's how I have been knitting for years.
It never was an issue until now. I know I am doing the yarn-over correctly, but I think the way I knit is twisting the stitches.
I ripped out the swatch, but I will do it again and take a photo so you can see it and maybe help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!!
