How to do the back join in knitting - change colors without weaving in ends

[@lindazipper1102]

I have used the back to back join for years but have never measured it out like this. Fantastic and I will be using this in my future knitting. I have been knitting for over 65 years and am still enjoying finding new ways to do things. Thanks so much for you great videos!!!!!!!

Glad it was helpful, Linda

Excellent. And timely, as I need to start a new skein this morning. It will work for that, too.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

Heh. Hope it worked well, Jill.

I found this video just in time when I was thinking of how to start colorwork on a striped sweater I'm thinking about. The youtube algorithm is mysterious.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

heh. Wel...good for me..good for you, no? :)

Wow. Would u use the Intarsia method when doing a different colour border on a baby blanket Norman? Every row has the first 20 stitches and last 20 stitches in an alternate colour….w the body of the blanket the main colour, so I want to keep running lines at each end of the row for outside trim colour and not add on later…thank you! You’ve taught me SO MUCH! U are an EXCELLENT teacher. Cheers from Toronto. 🧡

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

for a blanket? I would typically pick up stitches and knit a border after I finished the center. Yes, you could do it with intarsia but I am not sure if that's a bit to cumbersome with such a big project.

[@mygorgeouslife9279]

when i knit with circural needle , how i can make the work streight with 2 colours ?

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

not sure I understand your question? why would there be a difference between circular or straight needles as long as you knit flat?

[@theastewart6721]

Fascinating! Question: Are you knitting 3 or 4 stitches backwards or tinking those stitches? Thanks!

[@NimbleNeedles]

Depends on the fabric, really

[@theastewart6721]

Thanks.
