[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

Tue Jan 13 09:45:09 UTC 2026

it might be called color blocking but the book i was reading called it
color chunking and i think i saw something else online that called it that
as well. i am not really sure how to do this so it stays connected to the
project. for example making a little hedgehog where its belly is white and
the body is brown. about a third of each row is white and the rest brown. i
am thinking i would have to drop one color and then pick up the next but i
might have to backtrack one peg so they are connected each time when i add
the new color.....
not really sure about this. i am thinking i might just have to try it out
with some scrap yarn....
