[Nfb-krafters-korner] A knitting question revisited!

[slery]

You may be pulling your color change too tight. Again, all color changes
should be on the back of the work. A sighted person could see an outline to
your color changes on the back only. If you have the strands on the front of
your work, you are not doing the color change correctly. Keep color changes
to the back when you are knitting and facing you when you are purling the
wrong side.

Do not pull the color change tight. The yarn strands should be hanging out
waiting for you to come back to them when you work the following row. Do not
twist the yarns together I knit continential so that my working yarn is
coming from the right needle and held in my left hand. When I change colors,
I take that working yarn and simply hold it with the fingers holding the
right needle so that it is out of the way Then grab the new color and hold
it in my left hand ready to knit with it. After the first two stitches, I
drop the old working yarn that was held by the fingers holding the right
needle. This technique keeps the same tension in the yarn for that change.
By bringing the new yarn under the working yarn, you are locking the color
change together so that you do not have any separation between your blocks
as Ramona mention. I have used this technique for many color block baby
blankets and never have a gap.

PS It will be tedious with blocks that are only 4 stitches wide.

Good morning Ramona and Greg. Thank you both for your answers. Let me see if
I can explain this. I can see my work but at the same time I'm seeing the
strands of yarn running through my work where I have where I have pulled the
yarn from one color to the other I'm not sure if I'm explaining that right
again as I said it just looks like there's little threads running through so
I don't know if that should look OK is it supposed to not show the yarn went
say if you're switching colors is the cut is this the red supposed to show
or not or will it go away. I don't know I'm just trying to explain this the
best way I can. I never did this before so those of you that I have done
done call at work before are you able to see your pattern stitches even
though you're doing color work or does the threads of yarn that's running
from one color to the other show more than the pattern. Or I should say that
was supposed to be a? Sorry

Look at the piece as a whole and not a single row. Do you see those carried
strands of yarn? If yes, you then have to decide if that is what you want or
if you need to do a different pattern or technique. For example if you are
using black and white, it is very possible that is going to show. But, there
is no right or wrong in creating. The question is do you like it. What you
like is what is important.

Okay, I was doing that. But, since it is row by row, I can see the strands
running on top of my work.

Will that matter?

I hope you can understand what I am talking about.

Here is how I would work this. Always cross your yarn on the back side of
your work. Using color 1 work four stitches. Now you are ready to change
colors bring color 2 under color 1 and work four stitches. Always bring the
next color under the one you were just working with. I hope this helps

If I bring one color from underneath the other color, will that make the
treads show?



I am seeing the strands and it is not really showing the pattern much.



How can I remedy this?



I must be doing something here so I put it down.
