thank you so much! just out of curiosity, how do you avoid twisting your skeins/balls when catching your floats across a row?
@RealisticSquash Жыл бұрын
Thank you. A few years ago I made a checkered hat and the floats were insane. I have a few cool patterns I bought with words but gave up after making a ton of mistakes. I think I'll try a few squares first before I tackle a hat with words.

Changing colours you trap the new yarns between the stitch prior to the colour change stitch 😊 and then wrap twist the colours as you go . This makes a really easy weave method 😊. If you do it this way, you will not have the holes( no knots then needed) and you will not have loops across the back ( I learnt from watching my mom and could do this when I was 5 years old and onwards i was a real knit obsessed kid back in the day and used to make Disney intarsia by the time I was 7 and 8 years old. I hope you did not mind me commenting the above . I Just want to help :)

I was wondering the same thing! Why not just use the existing red strand from the first cherry?
@TheRightFighters11 ай бұрын
@mandarinoluv It helps to save yarn really. When there's a gap between the same colour (i.e there's a white gap between the 2 red cherries) you don't want to constantly have the red yarn floating between the 2 cherries [behind the white]. Otherwise you'll have unused yarn just hanging there. You add in a second red so that you have designated reds for each cherry. This is how intarsia knitting works. You could have a pattern that has loads of colours so you can use multiple bobbins to manage each colour in different sections

Also makes it look neater from the back! Some intarsia knit pieces are kinda reversible because the back looks similar to the front as you don't have any floating yarn
@TheRightFighters11 ай бұрын
Kinda waffling but to make it a proper intarsia knit you could use 3 different white yarns for the left right and middle so you wouldn't have to float the yarn. So yea managing 5 threads of yarn and have a really neat back 😅

isn't this fair isle with the floats? I thought that intarsia was different because it doesnt have floats.

@TinieMx Жыл бұрын
Isn't this more fair isle/stranded knitting, rather than intarsia? I'm trying to learn both techniques, and the first thing I read about fair isle is that you carry the strands along by creating "floats" as you do here..
@yulana990 Жыл бұрын
Intarsia also uses floats when necessary, however the key difference is that with fair isle you carry the colours basically across the whole piece. It is often used for very intricate colour changing pieces. Intarsia instead has larger patches of a singular colour, so you designate the area its own ball of yarn. She did this here by using 2 separate balls of red yarn for the 2 sides of the cherry, though the piece was small enough to not do that and just use 1 ball. Both techniques do use floats at times, sometimes it is inevitable, but with Intarsia you do try to give each area its own ball of yarn because carrying the secondary colour throughout the piece would waste a lot of the yarn in most intarsia pieces. Whilst Fair isle pieces can switch every single stitch from colour, for rows on end, making it impossible to assign several balls of yarn to everything. And when you do intarsia, you do always have to lock the new when you switch, which is the exact same method used when floating. The difference is that with intarsia you usually only do this during the colour change, and maybe a 2-4 stitches further, whilst with Fair Isle you do it throughout the whole piece. The back side of Intarsia will always have a few floats, unless you are knitting just a straight line, but the back piece of fair isle will have basically the whole thing covered in floats

im going to be knitting a sweater and with the float method it just seems like most of my secondary color yarn will be wasted floating. What do you suggest I do instead?
@yulana990 Жыл бұрын
Idk if you've already found a way, but you can also Duplicate Stitch :) Many people just knit a regular piece, then use the duplicate stitch method to make any design they want on top of your piece. You can also combine this with intarsia, by making the basic larger shapes using the intarsia method, and then duplicate stitching smaller details on top of it. In general there shouldn't be too much wasted yarn using intarsia, because with intarsia you usually don't float your yarn too far off. If you do, in intarsia that means you should just attach a separate yarn ball for the next area, because it should be as easy as possible. If you're familiar with crochet, you have Tapestry crochet where you carry the 2nd yarn colour with you through the whole piece, and intarsia crochet which like here you designate separate balls of yarn for each part, making sure not too much space is between areas. In knitting the method of carrying the other colour throughout the piece is called Fair Isle knitting and is useful for certain pieces with small details and many colour changes, but not for large pieces with huge chunks of 1 single colour I would recommend seeing if you can simplify your design into larger shapes, that you can use separate yarn balls for, and then going in with the duplicate stitch method afterwards for smaller details! When I design a graph I also try to make sure that each colour change has a max decrease of 3-4 stitches, so that floating doesnt become too big of an issue. Nimble Needles on youtube also has some great detailed videos on intarsia and duplicate stitching :)!
