How to: Twist 2 Colors While Knitting!

Sorry for the delay in uploading videos!

In this video you'll learn how to twist 2 colors so you're able to alternate between the colors you need to use for knitting (while in the round). This technique is far easier than knitting English style with one hand and Continental with the other (and some other crazy ideas I've seen)!!

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! Please check out my other videos and blog (which I promise to update soon):

Hello, I am knitting a sock and the problem is that my two patterns are 14 stitches away from each other (one image on the front and other on the back) what can I do to change colours, but that the yarn wouldn't go straight through the hole of the sock to the other pattern?

@kaikokitosuris I haven't knit two colors that far apart before...but I would look up intarsia knitting. I haven't done this before! I will pm you the full answer I got from the Knitting and Crochet Bible about carrying yarn...

When you change colours you only need to twist once, especially if the new colour stitches are few to prevent a bumpy 3D effect. Better still don't twist just carry the colour you're not using over (search: knitting carrying yarn up).

@ThePetalbluelite Thanks for the tip! :D

How did you start in with the White without losing the other colours?

@earlandbob Hi!

I just started knitting with it and left about 2 inches tail that I ended up weaving in later with a needle, once the project was done. (Sometimes I cheat and put a little knot!!)

@Artsyfartsy123 ok, thank you!
