[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: I have a Knitting question.

Mon Jan 4 15:44:54 UTC 2016

Could someone teach how to change colors.  I have no idea how you could make something checkerd! I still am not sure how to change colors in a striped item.  
Ideas for the future!

I have some three-color patterns I like to make.  I keep one skein on each side of me and one between my feet.  It helps if the skeins are not the same size and shape.  Your plastic bag solution could also be a good one.

I did a project with 3 colours, drove me crazy to keep them sorted. I ended up in putting each ball of yarn in a plastic bag like a walmart bag; tying the handels enough so the yarn could be pulled outeasily as I worked. The bags of yarn rolled around on the floor and it was easier to shuffle them into order every so often.  I did tie something different on each bag to distinguish each colour so I knew which was pink, white  or blue.
Thanks for reminding me to avoid this multiple colour madness! 
Good luck, patience is a virtue; if that helps.
