  • how do you ease up on the tension holding the yarn like that?

  • I think like most anything it is part practice and part finding a method that works for your body and mind. For me this provides nice flow of yarn and I don't have to work both hands with a yarn in each - now that I find hard.

  • Thank you, this is a great video. I usually do one handed continental 2-strand colorwork, but have given 2 handed (eng and cont) a try, but am not sure how i like it yet. I am going to go back to one handed, and try wrapping my yarns as you have. Thanks so much for sharing!

  • no worries - its nice to have the positive feedback

    :D

  • This is a beautiful piece! Excellent color choice. I might try something with this coloring myself.

  • when i was first learning colorwork, I tried to knit with both yarns in my left hand, but couldn't get it to work. you make it look so easy though, i'll have to try it again.

  • Wow! Thank you so much!

  • O I see! And those needle tips are rather short, that's why the needles look 'short'. Thank you!

  • I'm working with Addi turbo 60 cm circs - so not two separate needles, but two needle tips joined together by a flexible cable

  • And bij the way... how long are the needles you are working with? They seem very short or is that perhaps the perspective?

    Thank you again!

    Milli.
