Generally the first stitch is slipped to create a chain look on the edge of the work otherwise you get that little bump/knot. A better chain look edge though you slip the first stitch of every row as if to knit then purl the last stitch of every row.

Um, I understand the twisting of the stitches inbetween the blocks, but why are we slipping the first stitch of the row?

super helpful!

I noticed that too, and I was going to ask if that was intentional for the first row. I thought maybe it locked in the first color change sections a little tighter? She does it at the stitches just before the color change. I've never done intarsia before so I'm truly just guessing.

[bubblebuffy]

Very clear, it's a shame that you twisted at least 3 stitches on the first row (if you randomly knit into the back of a stitch every so often, you won't have even tension and twisted stitches can be more difficult to knit into)

Good though, nice and slow, and well explained.
