You can knit them at the same time. Why so complicated. I do double blankets and hats and you knit one color and other color. It goes fast. You just need to learn to hold two yarn. Idk I think it works faster this way for me instead of one color at one time.

@@frozenrogue8970 Yes, I typically work double knitting patterns with two colors at a time too, but not everyone is comfortable with that. This video is intended as an introduction to the concept of double knitting. I’m a knitting/crochet instructor, and it’s my job to ease people into new techniques.

Is there a video on how to cast on with the two colours?
@carissaknitsАй бұрын
I didn’t include the cast on in the video because it wasn’t necessary for the pattern this tutorial accompanies. However, for this little swatch, I just used a long tail cast on. I cast on my red stitches minus 1, then draped the cream yarn over both strands of red before casting on the last red stitch. This trapped the cream yarn between the last red stitch and the needle. Then I continued with the long tail cast on using the cream color. Hope that helps!

So this is a new technique to me and I am working the Thisaway shawl. About halfway down, one of my knit stitches went into the fabric rather than the waste yarn. I think I have an idea about how to fix it involving some minor surgery, but right now, I am walking away from it for time to consider the fix…
@carissaknitsАй бұрын
Oh no! Do you mean one of the stitches in the first row of the second tail dove down too deep and caught a stitch below the waste yarn? If so, what I would do is to ladder down the stitch, pick up just the waste yarn loop, and then ladder it back up again. Of course, if you’ve gotten too far into the decreases of the second tail already, you may have to rip back to where the problem stitch was sucked into the center decrease, then you can ladder down and fix it. Hope that helps!

@@carissaknits i had finished the second wing and had picked up all the stitches. Only when I was removing the waste yarn did i discover this. I had to cut the offending stitch that was below the waste yarn and i then undid 10 stitches on either side of it. I then felted the cut ends back together and reknit those 20 stitches. All in all it was way easier than I imagined. I was glad to be knitting with handspun mostly wool yarn…

Thank you so much - I’m new at this so please forgive what might be a silly question: did you build the very first row of colours going up from the bottom, joining in the same way, from the top of the squares?
@carissaknitsАй бұрын
Do you mean the first column on the far left of the blanket? It was made in one long strip, changing colors for each section, like you would a scarf. There’s nothing to join to when you’re working the first column. The joining starts when you begin the second column.

I have a question. I knit and chrochet, and have maybe a tad OCD because otherwise probably wouldn't have noticed. When doing this type cast on, does it matter which way you yarn over in the crochet part? I've never tried this type of temporary cast on and it looks really fast and easy. As I'm sure you know, in knitting, the direction of travel for the working yarn is crucial to having a stitch look like you want. So this is just embedded into the knitting brain. I crochet, very occasionally, and I noticed you yarn over in different directions with crochet CO. If it doesn't matter when taking it out, that would be great for 2 reasons. 1. Rheumatoid arthritis makes some motions painful and this would be great being able to choose comfortable direction. 2. I'm trying to teach my granddaughters to knit. They can chrochet some, so I think it would be nice if they learn this and can be relaxed knowing they just have to always go under the knitting needle for the next stitch, but the crochet part is temporary. I hope this makes sense and doesn't just have a chatty old lady vibe. I want to show them this because it will look like magic and make me look like "All Knowing Granny", which of course I am.😉 This is pure chatty old lady. I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn to knit , chrochet first, even if not for a long time because you can master using your both hands to do seperate things while grappling (and that what it feels like those first few attempts😉) with one needle. Plus you learn to control yarn tension without trying to manuever a needle in the yarn hand as well. Even if you only take enough time to learn to make a decent single crochet. The hook you will use in later knitting because EVERYONE drops stitches and for this great cast on. When you decide to do knitting that requires yarn in both hands, you'll have no problem. This concludes my comment. It only felt endless. Thank you for the new technique.

If the sweater panel is already complete, you could probably pick up stitches along each side edge and work a few rows to add side panels.

IT is better by changing colors to cut the yarn and start the new colors and do a weaving as you go. That way you don"t have that ugly two colored ridge on the front side
@carissaknits8 ай бұрын
It all depends on the project! This tutorial was made to accompany my Breezeway shawl pattern, which uses a skein of sock yarn and a skein of mohair/silk, both in the same colorway for a fun textural design. Since the two yarns are the same color, those dotted lines at the color changes totally disappear. I only demonstrated it with different colors in this video so you could see what I was doing. So yes, you could cut your yarn each time, but I intentionally chose to do it this way to avoid weaving in lots of ends.
@hmh38085 ай бұрын
Not if you’re doing a border on a blanket for example, you don’t want to cut every single row! (That there’s a colour change)…. you need to have a running ball on each end of your knitting! Don’t you think it looks like more of a mess with a bunch of knots and weave-ins on the RS , than one broken line in an alternating color ?

@carissaknits4 ай бұрын
Yes, you can do this in rows instead of rounds, but you will still need to use a circular needle. When you complete a row with one color, you will have to slide your stitches to the other end of your circular needle to work across in the second color. After you worked a row in each color, then you'll turn your work and do it again, only this time you'll be knitting/purling with the opposite colors since you're looking at the "wrong side" now.
