This was super helpful! I'm new to colour work and I've been having so much trouble with floats being too tight. I think I will try this next time to see if it fixes my issues :)

This is wonderful. I have been struggling with fair isle but now I feel much more confident. I am thankful I can do both English and Continental so that will be very helpful. Thank you for such a clear and detailed video! Just a few moments in - I realized I had WAY too much tension on my work. These wraps will be nice as well because I wanted to make a scarf and it wont matter at all if the other side is showing! It will be lovely still with these locked floats. I cannot wait to try again! Thank you.

awesome ! will try it ! thank you. Is the design of your piece by you or where is it from ? tnx

Thanks, I’ll watch again, saved

I’m so confused about the helper thread thing. All the other tutorials I’ve seen make the mesh and then some who crochet them together. I’m so confused but this looks so helpful. Someone please help! I need to figure this out.

Thank you for sharing and showing the fair isle purl. Your class is clear and understandable, I’m very glad that I could find this video in KZbin. Now I can start making fair isle pieces without cutting them through. These are very helpful and nicely presented instructions 🌺

Wow, the end product looks amazing!

I love admiring the floats on my Fair Isle hat. They look neat and tidy. 🎉😂❤ Your knitting is amazing . Happy knitting.

Amazing. Thank you for your patience!

You have explained this soo clearly I want to say thank you thank you. I will be following you closely.

Excelent explations. Thank you from Ukraine.

Absolutely wonderful!!!! Like weaving in your ends as you knit! Same concept!! Thank you!!!!!! 🥰💛

طبعا تسلم ايدك على الشغل الجميل ده بس ليه مفيش فيديو تكميلى المربع .انا ماشية معاكى خطوة خطوة وفجأة وقفت ومش عارفه أكمل المربع

Can't hear.

I realize you posted this quite a while ago, but in just a few minutes you improved my colourwork tremendously. I’ve watched so many tutorials and yours was the first I’ve come across that mentioned no tension. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I tried it today along with holding a strand in each hand. I’m so happy with the results.

Unfortunately the sound quality is atrocious.

Very very nice ❤❤❤

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

One watch of your beautiful demo and I can lock my floats! Thank you so much!!!

Can't hear u. 1:48

so informative

I’m not completely sure if this is true, but i feel that locked floats let the fabric be stretchier than regular floats do. If anyone can verify this it would be helpful

Thank you so much for your technique and clear teaching method. I have not yet made a fair isle project that doesn't gap and have uneven stitches. I think your method will help me correctly accomplish a fair isle project. Thank you!

It looks like you trap the yarn every other stitch

This is so cool! I am going to try this tomorrow- making little Christmas ornaments

Thank you for the slowness of video and great explanation!!!❤

excellent thank you so much

Maakt U ook Nederlandse filmpjes in deze techniek?

Thanks for providing this tutorial. I am trying to learn diagonals within interlocking crochet. The link for the tutorial patterns says "nothing found" . Can you please direct me to the corresponding charts/patterns? thanks

You are so clever wish I could get the hang of interlocking them first rows are so hard x

I was confused about this technique, but you explained so clear and with a lot of patience. Thanks

Wow😮

There is no need to purl if you knit backwards. I always do this.

Thank you for your careful demonstration. I love making stranded color knitting. I have had the habit of locking the carried thread more frequently than required in standard practice because I made fair isle patterns for baby blankets where floats could be caught on little fingers and toes. I'm intrigued by your method of purling when knitting flat. It appears much less cumbersome...I will try it.

This was extremely helpful! Kindly give us the link for your ‘ in Dutch’ channel. I watch knitting in every language ( and I change the ‘cc’ setting to English). It fabulous! Serious KZbin students can watch amazing knitting in Hindi, Turkish, Italian, Russian , etc… Believe me, English is my mother tongue and sometimes I cannot understand English speakers in the UK!

Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos❤

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wat een geweldige video. 🤩🤩 Ik brei al zo'n 50 jaar en ik leer nog steeds iets nieuws. Zoals in dit geval het permanent inweven van het garen. Tot nu toe heb ik de garens alleen gekruist als ze zich over meer dan 4 steken uitstrekten. "Ladderback" vind ik ook niet zo geweldig. Ik ga jouw methode proberen en ik weet nu al dat ik het bijzonder moeilijk ga vinden om geen spanning op de draden te zetten... Ik ben erg benieuwd naar mijn resultaat. Heel erg bedankt!

Thank you for demonstrating this technique so clearly! I think it's very beautiful and useful to make a nice fabric

Too complicated. Life is too short to fiddle about like this with crochet, it should be a relaxing pleasure

Very well shown and described. I've always shunned fairaisle, but you make it look doable. Thank you.

Very, very helpful! Your pace is just right for showing the technique and your calm voice makes it seem easy. I also liked your tip on not having tension on the yarn. I have admired Fair Isle knitting but have stayed away from it because of all those floats! I now feel more able to tackle this knitting style. Any tips on yarn management when using more than 2 colors? Thank you for making this video!

Once Fair Isle is no longer worked in-the-round, with steeks, it is no longer considered fair isle style of stranded colorwork, and the name is different. Locking all the floats in stranded colorwork knitting is also known as Armenian knitting/darning. So, this is a lovely tutorial on stranded colorwork with locked floats, known as Armenian knitting. ❤️ I find it important to make these distinctions so we do not forget the peoples who gave us these techniques.

The volumn is too low

I’m so pleased I found this video! I had done fair isle knitting in the past and I don’t remember doing floats. The sock pattern I was knitting recommended ladder floats, but I was having so much trouble with them and had to restart the second color several times and some of the floats came undone. I was thinking something needed to change in order to complete the pattern. I knew I could do it, but those ladder floats were ridiculously difficult for me, so I will try this method. This is probably the method I used to make 2 fair isle hats several years ago. I remember carrying the two years together.
