Our very own Laura (Jimmy) stars in this knitting instructional video about how to carry a contrasting color up the edge of your project. We hope you enjoy it!
This knitting technique is a great method for alternating every two rows or making narrow stripes, probably not more than about four to six rows so you don't have a ton of ends to weave in. This same technique can be used for alternating skeins of hand dyed yarns as well. Laura aka Jimmy shows you how truly easy it is! Here's how you do it!
If you want to work more than two rows of a color, work this partial wrap method with the yarn you're carrying up the side each time you return to that side of your work. Note: Be sure to stretch your fabric after the first couple of stitches after a wrap to make sure you're leaving enough slack in the carried yarn so that it doesn't pull that edge tighter than the opposite edge.
