I love helical knitting especially when alternating between two skeins of hand dyed yarn! Never heard of it? Check out this tutorial to get blending those two mis-matched skeins right here, right now!!

Thank you for creating such a clear tutorial! I had tried a couple of the "big name" knitters' tutorials, and they were all a bust. You've been so helpful! Thanks very much
OMG, you made this so easy to understand! Thank you!
Yay! Happy to hear that!
This blew my mind. Definitely trying it next time! Thank you!
You have to let me know how it goes! I think it was such a great way to blend skeins in the last sweater I knit!!
Very good
Great tutorial! My next project will be with the first time i'm working with hand dyed yarn.I will be using 3 skeins of yarn thick mohair. I'm worried that color blocking will happen when I introduce the last skein of yarn. How would you go about this?
Thank you for the great tutorial. Question, what do you do when you have to increase but it’s in the slip 3 stitches section of the round?
Ohh yes that’s where this can get tricky! If it were me, I would do that increase on the following row! It may change the consistency of the pattern, but it’s also only one stitch and the consistency of color that alternating skeins gives me is more important to me than being off with 1 stitch increase! I hope that helps!!
Great. Thanks so much xx
I'm glad it helped! It's such a great way to knit from two skeins at once!
This was clear and concise. My one question is how do I keep track of how many rows I've knit since very likely it would be a sweater being knit in the round. Sometimes there are increases or decreases needed. And usually there is a stitch marker involved 😀
Thank you! The stitch marker shouldn't move when you're working on the body of the sweater, but you're right things can move when you're incorporating shaping. If I get into a situation where the yarn isn't where I want it to be I may have to cut the yarn and re-attach it, but it doesn't happen very often! Hope that helps! Good luck!
@@EmtothethirdKnitting Thank you for clarifying. Now I feel more confident that I can use this technique.
Thank you- I have loved this method! Do you have any recommendations for using this during a top-down raglan yoke section? I can’t wrap my brain around what happens once you approach the raglan increases :)
I think the only time you may run into trouble is if the decrease falls on an area where you are slipping the three stitches, but if I were you'd I'd honestly just kinda fudge it? It'll be at the most one decrease, so I'd maybe do it on the following row! I don't know if that helps but I think stopping the pooling (for me) is better than fudging like one increase or decrease!!
@@EmtothethirdKnitting Thank you so much!
Sorry for the dumb question but when slipping stitches each time does it matter where the BOR is in relation to the slipped stitches? I'm only looking to do this with a sweater in one colourway (plus a strand of mohair) but several skeins. Thanks!
Short answer: nope! Longer answer: Your BOR will stay in place, but slipped stitches will continue to migrate counter-clockwise around your needles and eventually catch up and then again surpass the BOR marker again! Hope that helps!!
@@EmtothethirdKnitting yes that does! Thank you! For arguments' sake, what would happen if your pattern has actual stripes?
@@ilsamj If it were a smaller circumference this would be more obvious, but it creates a spiral instead of stripes. If you were to use this method say on a hat, when you start to do the decreases the two colors would look like a cinnamon roll where as if you did not do helical knitting and were switching between one color and the next at the BOR, you'd get concentric circles like a bullseye!
How would you handle yarn overs in hellical knitting?
It’s always more complicated incorporating any pattern. If it’s a whole row of YOs, I’m treat the start of the next color as the beginning of your next row. So that all the YOs are done with the same strand of yarn. It’ll always just take a bit of finagling, that being said, helical knitting makes the most sense for straight stockinette.
@@EmtothethirdKnitting thank you!!! I agree, helical is really much more appropriate for stockinette or something very simple that can be manipulated on the following row. Thanks for answering.
