Huh. How odd. You know what? I know that... have for years. But as I was
thinking of it in dance terms, my brain decided that the straight-diagonal
line was the important bit (imagining two people hands reaching to each
other) and decided to substitute N and Z.
Weird -- but also makes sense, because both letters are equally squarish.
You're totally right about the yarn mistake --- but on reflection, I think I
stand by the choice of N and Z for dancing.
Huh.

Ummm, Amy it's S-twist or Z-twist. N and Z are the
same, one's just turned
sideways.
HTH,

Here's a thought I've been toying with for a while:
A term we use in knitting to identify which way yarn twists is "N-wise or
Z-
wise"
(think of a piece of yarn, look at the slanty lines the plies make, look
at the
center slashes of an N, then a Z. See it?)
How many moves could be identified this way?
