    WOOLWIND/INTARSIA This technique is used to knit blocks of different colours, avoiding the extra bulk of Fair Isle knitting. When using this method, you will need a separate ball for each section of colour. The colour twist method involves twisting the different coloured yarns over each other to prevent holes. Twist the colour to be used underneath and to the right of the colour just used. Always change colours on the wrong side of the work so colour change does not show on right side.

To be accorded this status, however, the manufacturer must demonstrate that her product design identifies the source of her product-that the design is, in the trademark vernacular, "distinctive." In this Article, Professor Graeme Dinwoodie addresses the question of how to determine when a product shape or design identifies its source. In 1992, in Two Pesos v. Taco Cabana, the United States Supreme Court endorsed the assimilationof the principles governing the distinctiveness of word marks and non-verbal marks.
