Brilliant! Thank you

I knit loads and want my colourwork to have the extra edge, so this was a really succinct and useful video on this topic. Thank you! ❤I can get back to my project straight away. This video was fairly low down in the recommendation list but really good 😊

We also have videos on catching floats that you might find helpful. ☺️

Thank you sooo much for this video. I couldn't quite figure out how to hold the yarn for colour dominance from all the written tutorials that I could find but with your video, it's so simple now! Thank you!!

After trawling through so many videos you've explained it in the style I like - short, sweet, to the point XD Thank you!!!!

I hold one color in each hand for Fair Isle knitting, and I always hold my purling color in my left hand for corrugated rib because I find ribbing with the right hand to be a chore. Do you think it would be too jarring to switch the way I hold my yarns after the corrugated ribbing? I might have to try holding both yarns in my left even if a switch wouldn't be jarring :)
