[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

Tue Jan 13 17:57:55 UTC 2026

terry i am not talking about stripes. i am talking about areas of color and
how to do that when only part of multiple rows are one color and the rest
is another. for example half a row bould be white and the other brown and
this could be for the entire piece.
i dont know how else to explain it. i am also not talking about twisting
yarn together but trying to find out how this technique is done. i dont
think you are supposed to cut the yarn each time i actually think this
might involve some flat style knitting but also connecting those areas that
are different colors as you go. this is a popular technique for making
stuffed animals.
