Today's Tangle - Twisted

"Twisted" is by Hennie Brouwer and her pattern is posted HERE at Pattern-Collections. Ellen Wolters has a video tutorial for this pattern HERE and she shows how to draw it using a different method. Instead of a dot grid, she uses a box grid. 

UPDATE: The Pattern-Collections website has shut down. Click HERE to view this pattern.

I haven't tried Ellen's method but I did start with a box grid because I couldn't think of any way to draw a dot grid without any special tools. However, I found the lines of the grid very distracting when following the step-out so, for my second attempt, I erased all of the grid lines except where the grid lines intersect. Instead of a dots, mine looked more like little crosses. This did make it a little easier to draw the pattern without losing my place.

Below you can see my first attempt which has a little mistake in the bottom left corner.
