Hi Judy, I am knew at knitting and i like this video it's very simple, but i have a question: in the video you are just doing knit stitches, what if you are doing ribbing and want to add the knew color? Do you have to do knit stitches to make sure it doesn't come out or will it work while alternating knit to purl to knit as well?
As a new knitter, I've learned so much from your videos! I want to add color to my knitting projects, but I've been very intimidated. You always give wonderful, clear instructions and I LOVE the angle you video from. Thank you Judy!!!!
I'm as green as grass at knitting. My question is, how do you get both the colored threads to be on the same side of the needle? I have watched the video really closely and I have tried this over 20 times already but each time my main color yarn gets stuck at the First stitch(which ultimately becomes the last stitch) when I have knitted the 2nd color for it's first row. Even though I wrap the main color around the new color I still end up with the loose yarn stuck at the last stitch.
This is wonderful! I just started knitting today and I thought that I would need to knit a patch of colour and sew it on. This is so much simpler! Thank you so much for this!
Wow, you explained it so easily. I have a book with knitting instructions and I just couldn't get it how to add a new colour, it was explained sooo differently. Thank you so much :) Now I can continue my work :)
Judy, don't you have to do that thing where you twist the 2 colours every 3 stitches? Or is that just when you are knitting a love heart into your work? I've seen that video and it's really good!
you have to weave them in. you can watch my video on how to weave in ends on my channel, thanks for writing. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
Hi Judy! Love your videos, I was inspired by the jogless video. Just One Question: When You Want To Add 3 Colors To Your Knitting Would The Same Rules Apply Like In This Video Or How Would You Do It?? Please Respond!
I just began knitting in september this year, and recently I created a blog about my projects and such things. If you are interested in looking it over, please google the following: puzzleofknitting.blogspot.com/
when i added colour to my knitting (2 different colours i done 3 rows then changed to the other colour) with mine though i done it a little different i did not cut of the other colour on and every row at the the left side you can see one of the colours usually the same as the current on was being done and when it was changed each time i could usually of seen the other colour.
But still it looked great and im nearly finished with it i only done a garter stich for all the rows
HI Judy I am 14 and making a flashlight holder for my mom and i am purling the whole thing and i am changes colors in and outgrandma i wanted to know if i can have more then one color ina row? Would it wokrk in one of my Grandma's teddy bear patteren and i am adding 2 colors in one row how would i do that?
you can change colors,more than one, on each row. that would be like a fair isle pattern. It would work better with stockinette stitch though. It's been a while since you wrote. Have you finished the project? Tell me what you did.
This is great for knitting colours that are close together, but what if they are further apart? I'm making a scarf with 3 different colours, each about 2 inches from the next. will the other colours always be close to the row I'm knitting, or will they move farther away as my work progresses?
I'm new to working with more than one colour (this is my first attempt), so it would really help if there was a video on that. Not to sound too demanding : ) . Please let me know?
Hi. Iam having the same problem with my scarf. I alternate the same colour every 2 inches or so. I would like to know how to carry the colour at the edge....Can you help at all?
I'm making a scarf that's knit on one side and purl on the other. Is there any way to add color without bumps appearing on the purl side? Or should I just keep this scarf a solid color?
Your videos are great - so helpful and easy to understand.
The bumps will always show on the purl side when you add color. Thanks for the nice comment on the videos. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too. New Video today, BTW.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video! It made it so easy for me to learn how to knit in color and I really appreciate your clear instructions.
thanks so much for the video .. and i do have another question . what is the difference bettween knit and purl, i dont see any change or may be doing it wrong, but thanks so much fpor ans ,,,
there's a big difference between knit and purl. watch both of my videos How to do the Knit Stitch and How to do the Purl Stitch. Then watch How to do the Stockinette Stitch. Those videos should clear it up for you.
Okay, this has been the most helpful video. The only thing I'm confused about is how you knit with the tail. I get that part, but then you say to just cut it. Well, won't it unravel?
I like yr videoclips. It is simple, clear and short. A lot of other clips just m..u..m..bl.ed it thru and talk too much, Yr one is very precise. It is highly appreciated!
question about a few things. should i knot the little tail that i get from the added on colour or can i just snip it? secondly, are both colours suppose to follow up together ((like stay right near the needles or is the old colour suppose to stay where you started the new colour, if that makes sense?))
over all so helpful! i will totally watch more of your videos, they are so straight forward and helpful.
oh my gosh this explains it far better than any book I've tried to read, even my mom has tried showing me how to do it and it just wasn't clicking, but after this I actually get it! thanks for posting this!
thank you so much for putting these up, they are by far the easiest and my favourite. i hadn't done any knitting for a year since i was taught and got totally lost, your videos had me right back in the game! now i'm making a huge red (and now with other colours!) scarf for my friend's birthday. thank you! :)
thanks for the nice comment. so glad you're knitting again and doing so well with colors. please keep watching. new video on now. look for me on facebook too.
When you knit the second, third, and fourth stitch of the new color you are using essentially 2 pieces of yarn. Doesn't that give you extra stitches? Or do you knit those as if one piece of yarn when you get back to them? It's difficult to see that part....Thank you!

Hey Judy love your video's, but have a question I am making wash clothes with a design on them, I have no Idea how to make the design a different color is there any way you could show me how to do this? Thank you so much Judy.
I just wanted to say thank sooo much! I just started knitting, haven't purled yet, but i love it so much. I wanted to make a blanket with two colors. Been looking all night trying to find it. All the others i have found i didnt understand. You made it so easy. Thanks so much! Much love to you!
you know when you changed to purple,if you knitted 5/6 rows,how would you knit with the red again because the string at the back of it wont come up with the rows so how do you bring up the red yarn with it?thats confusing in this video> "how to knit: how to join yarn & change colours in knitting" she shows you how to do it but she knits differently so how do you do it? 1 more question,you know the"tail"of purple yarn left when you change the colour, if you cut that wont the stitches fall out
Thx for your video! i notice the end of the red yarn is not weaved in, only the blue one, so if i want to stop using the red yarn, i just leave it there and weave it in at the end of the products, is that correct? or can I weave with the red end tail, the blue head and the ongoing blue one to weave in all of them?
you don't want to weave a new color into an old one. There is a way to do it and I will make another video on that in the future. Meanwhile, just do it at the end of the project.
thank you so much! my mother in law taught me how to crochet. half the blanket is single and the rest is double. i have no clue how i did that but im a quick leaner when it comes to hands on. thanks so much for helping me. shes been telling me to keep practing before she taught me how to add a color. but haha i found out by myself! thanks
You are fantastic Judy! I took up knitting a while back to help with my depression which it really does help and your videos have taught me so much thank you (:
Thank you for writing. I'm so glad to know that my videos are helping you. Please keep watching. There's so much to learn. If you make a mistake don't worry. Practice makes perfect. Happy knitting.
Firstly, 5 stars; however, if I might add some constructive feedback: This is done a bit fast and is hard for an idiot like myself to figure out. I was able to get my questions answered from looking through the other comments though. It might be worthwhile to add a text description in the description section to go along with the video (for some reason I had some confusion on the tail, but like i said, makes sense after reading the comments and the video makes a lot more sense to me).
Thanks for the note and glad it worked out for you. Sorry if I went too fast. It's always hard for me to slow down, but I'll try on my future videos. Please keep watching. There's lots of learn.
So im trying to knit me a pair of norwegian mitten 'look-a-like' , and it has a lot of color switching to make a pattern. Do you use the same method to create the pattern?
it;s impossible. don't worry about it though. it'll look just fine either way as long as you weave in the ends really well and don't have any strings hanging on.
i am making a scarf and i have noticed you need around two yarn balls to make a full length scarf. once i use one yarn ball do i do the same thing in this video to add the next yarn ball? do i then cut off the remaining string hanging off?
Hi Judy I have learned alot from your videos but didn't know that i wasnt supposed to cut of when done with a color. is the scarf im knitting going to unravel should i discard it and just start a new one. Please help!!!
judy, if you want to continue the blue string you had, what happens with the left over yarn from the pink string? does it get cut off, or is it tied? it looks kind of gunny handing out there heehee
Wow thanks for the extremely well made video Judy! I think it helps so much to have the visual teaching versus text. And your spoken instructions are easy to hear and understand as well! Excellent :)
WOW - I knew about the looping the original color over the new color bit (to keep it tight), but I LOVE the fact you weave in the loose end while you make new stitches! Totally gonna use it - thanks :)
You are a saint. Thank you so much! :)

when you knit with the tail you're basically weaving it in as you go along. after 3 or 4 stitches you can cut if off because it is woven in.

you know when you changed to purple,if you knitted 5/6 rows,how would you knit with the red again because the string at the back of it wont come up with the rows so how do you bring up the red yarn with it?thats confusing in this video> "how to knit: how to join yarn & change colours in knitting" she shows you how to do it but she knits differently so how do you do it? 1 more question,you know the"tail"of purple yarn left when you change the colour, if you cut that wont the stitches fall out

Thx for your video! i notice the end of the red yarn is not weaved in, only the blue one, so if i want to stop using the red yarn, i just leave it there and weave it in at the end of the products, is that correct? or can I weave with the red end tail, the blue head and the ongoing blue one to weave in all of them?
etalocohc 1 year ago
@etalocohc
you don't want to weave a new color into an old one. There is a way to do it and I will make another video on that in the future. Meanwhile, just do it at the end of the project.
new video on today.

Firstly, 5 stars; however, if I might add some constructive feedback: This is done a bit fast and is hard for an idiot like myself to figure out. I was able to get my questions answered from looking through the other comments though. It might be worthwhile to add a text description in the description section to go along with the video (for some reason I had some confusion on the tail, but like i said, makes sense after reading the comments and the video makes a lot more sense to me).

wow this just looks so easy ^^
So im trying to knit me a pair of norwegian mitten 'look-a-like' , and it has a lot of color switching to make a pattern. Do you use the same method to create the pattern?

I am making a blanket in garter stitch. How to I get rid of the bumps on the WS of my knitting. I want both sides to look the same.

it;s impossible. don't worry about it though. it'll look just fine either way as long as you weave in the ends really well and don't have any strings hanging on.

hamstar511 1 year ago
i am making a scarf and i have noticed you need around two yarn balls to make a full length scarf. once i use one yarn ball do i do the same thing in this video to add the next yarn ball? do i then cut off the remaining string hanging off?
eamsch 2 years ago
yes, add the new yarn knitting the first 3 or 4 stitches with it including the tail so you knit it in. then you can cut if off.

Hi Judy love your videos! If one is doing a striped hat with circulars and use this technique, does this also create a jogless stitch?
reneindc 2 years ago
no, there will be a little jog. this never bothers me, but I will be doing a video on jogless stripes. please keep watching. thanks for the comment.
knittingtipsbyjudy 2 years ago
for the tail of the red yarn, what do we do with it ?? just cut off ???
pinkyperry123 2 years ago
NEVER cut, unless you have woven it in. See my video on how to weave in ends.
knittingtipsbyjudy 2 years ago
Hi Judy I have learned alot from your videos but didn't know that i wasnt supposed to cut of when done with a color. is the scarf im knitting going to unravel should i discard it and just start a new one. Please help!!!
thereal87fefe 2 years ago
That was a great video. I did not know one can weave the yarn in while knitting. I will try it. thank you so much. =)

knittingtipsbyjudy 2 years ago
judy, if you want to continue the blue string you had, what happens with the left over yarn from the pink string? does it get cut off, or is it tied? it looks kind of gunny handing out there heehee
uruyuuki 2 years ago 2
@uruyuuki i agree with you and im totally confused as to what happens to that also.

Wow thanks for the extremely well made video Judy! I think it helps so much to have the visual teaching versus text. And your spoken instructions are easy to hear and understand as well! Excellent :)
Riceko 2 years ago
WOW - I knew about the looping the original color over the new color bit (to keep it tight), but I LOVE the fact you weave in the loose end while you make new stitches! Totally gonna use it - thanks :)

When you are first changing colours and you knit the tail into the knitting, doesn't that make extra stitches?
anajinn 2 years ago
yes, but just put the needle through both yarns as if it were just one loops...

How can you get rid of that band of old colour? Like that red band you had there in between the blue ones.
