You helped me so much with my first two color knitting project! Thank so much

This is probably the only video that I've come across that is clear and concise. (I'm going to be starting my first Fair Isle project soon, and this tutorial makes me feel confident in finally beginning my project, rather than wanting to run for the hills.)

This video makes it so clear...I've been trying to figure this out from VISUALLY KNITTING and couldn't make heads or tails of it in there...

This is absolutely fantastic!! I've always hated fair isle as I hated the long floats that pucker the fabric and the resulting hours of blocking. I tried other ways of catching the stitches, but haven't had much success, until now! This has (seriously) revolutionised knitting for me - thank you so much!!
