It looks like a typo. It is absolutely not.
Ambistitcherous. /am-bih-STITCH-er-us/. Adjective. The ability to knit in two different styles — Continental and English, say — switching between them fluidly, without dropping a stitch or losing your place in the pattern. The word was invented by the knitting community, modeled on ambidextrous, because makers have always known that if the right word doesn't exist, you make one.
An ambistitcherous knitter can adapt to any yarn, any needle, any situation. They are the ones who never argue about hold, because they have already decided the argument is beneath them. They knit both ways. They win every brabble without entering it.
“Ambistitcherous: a superpower that sounds like a spelling mistake.”
