Fair Isle Knitting - Carrying Floats- Two hands

Fair Isle using two hands, Continental knitting and English (throwing) knitting.
Video showing how to carry both the background yarn and also the foreground yarn.
1st side shows carrying the background yarn (green) behind the foreground (pink) yarn.
2nd side shows carrying the foreground or dominant yarn (pink) behind the background yarn (green).
Small short floats.
REMEMBER TO KEEP THE FLOATS FAIRLY LOOSE so there is enough yarn in back to allow for give (stretch).
