[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Colorwork, was Introduction

Mon Jul 29 20:38:02 UTC 2019

I haven't done colorwork in a long time. I made a hat for my niece
with, I think, two or three colors, and I'm sure there were holes. I
stopped doing colorwork because I couldn't figure out how to wind the
yarn to prevent the holes. Would love an explanation.

Thanks,
Dani
