Thank you so very much this helps me out so much. I was doing it before but have just been doing some cancer treatments and forgot how to work the yarns to have it stay together. So this helped me to not have to rip it all out and start it all over.
Knittycats! This is awesome! I’m curious though if you could do any pattern you wanted so long as when you get to the color switch you tack the yarn like you have here? For example, a simple pattern for a variegated yarn and then a cable pattern for a solid color yarn and run those up the afghan? I absolutely love that I stumbled onto this video because now it’s got me thinking of possibilities!! Love from MN❤️
This is sooooo helpful!! I want to do a project that has vertical stripes, but I'm also limited on how much yarn I have of each color (I've tried crocheting it but it's difficult to estimate how much of each I'll need from the initial chain), so I really appreciate this. Thank you!!
My pleasure! So glad you found this helpful. You can use this technique to create stripes using any stitch (not just the one row rep st). The trick is to be sure that you always twist the strands on the same side (the wrong side of the work), so that the vertical stripes look neat on the right side of the work. Best wishes for your project. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed 😊
@@KnittycatsKnits Ah, I actually have a question, now that I've casted on and knit a couple rows... how do you keep your yarn from tangling? I've just been manually moving the balls of yarn so that they don't tangle, but then more than half the time is poured into tangle prevention/management instead of actual knitting... do you have any tips for this?
Good question! Unfortunately, it required untangling even when I was working on the piece I showed in the video. In an effort to not create a tangled mess of yarns, I tried placing the yarns in separate containers (like plastic containers with holes drilled in the lid, bringing yarn out through the hole). But this too requires that they be moved around as you twist the yarns in each row. Hopefully, with practice, it won't seem as cumbersome. Will let you know if I come across a better technique of separating the yarns (alternatively, in fair isle technique, we would carry the unused yarn in the back, which creates a yarn float and then you end up with a thicker fabric).
Lovely little stitch, haven’t done this one yet. The end result looks rather like crochet I think. 🤔 I will probably place one of the two ‘extra’ stitch either end of the piece to avoid having one colour stripe being so out of proportion to the others. TFS 👌. 🐢
Hi Jackie, thanks for your questions on this video but am not sure what you are asking about. This video just shows how to knit this 1-row pattern using multiple colors (so focus is more on that rather than the 1-row repeat stitch itself). You can check out a video of that stitch itself at ua-cam.com/video/GMLEGKeReZY/v-deo.html. Hope this helps but if not, please clarify the question a bit more, so I can try to help. Thanks and best wishes!😊
Candy, it's great to hear that you've done those other techniques. I too have done more fair isle than intarsia. Planning to do videos on that and mosaic knitting in the near future. But hoping to incorporate more intarsia knitting in future projects😊
@@JudyWilliard The decreases (or increases, as needed) would occur within a particular color section, so you would do them as normal, just like you would if knitting with a single color. The intarsia part is really just the twisting (or carrying through on the back side) of the different yarns. Hope this helps ☺️ Thanks so much for watching and best wishes 🤗

My pleasure, Kathleen! Glad it helped. Hope your treatments went well and wishing you a good recovery. Thanks so much for watching my video!😊
This is a great learning video!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 😊

Wishing I had done this now 😅

how many stitches can u do
how many stitches do u do
How have you been? How funny is it that I've done mosaic, fair isle and other knitting but haven't done any intarsia yet?

How does one decrease using this intarsia stitch version?
