[Nfb-krafters-korner] Puzzling question for loomers

[Denise Shaible]

This is a puzzling question for knitters with straight or circular needles, 
too.  Could you explain how this would be done with needles?  It sounds 
interesting.  I've been concerned about mixing varigated and solid colors 
for the same reason that Terry mentioned.  Hmm, I guess I have to be a bit 
braver in my efforts.

Regards,

Denise

Do you mean you are bringing the tails up through the stitch and then 
knitting off the stitch?

When I tie on a new yarn, I start at peg 1 and tie it on. I then take both 
tails and bring them around to the front of peg 2. I then do like a purl 
stitch and bring the tails up through the loop on peg 2 and then pull it 
around to the back between pegs 1 and 2. I then move on to peg 3 and 
continue to do this until the tails are too small to do anymore. This weaves 
the tails in from the very beginning and is done at the area where the two 
colors meet so there is no concern of weaving the wrong ones in.

I am making a verigated scarf with a solid stripe in it.  I was talking to
Henry, Monday night, since no one came to the chat, and I asked him this
puzzling question!  Thankfully I have enough sight to solve this, as of now,
but when connecting a verigated strand of yarn and a solid or even 2
different colors, how do you tell the two apart, so when you weave the ends
in, you weave the verigated piece in the verigated side of the scarf and the
black in the black section.  It would be a tragity to have a strand of
black, gray and white, runny through your solid section of black.
This was really funny.  Henry thought I was a bit off my rocker.  I do not
think he understood my question for a while, but we sure got a good laugh
out of it.  Any answers for someone who is totally blind.  thankfully one
yarn is thicker than the other, in this case, but that might not always be
true.
