It took me years to try out something like this. As for knitting in the round with two colours. I saw a tutorial on facebook for it that made it so much easier: You don't change colours while knitting one round but you basically knit the round twice: first with the colour no.1, leaving out the stitches, that have colour no. 2. Then you knit around with colour no. 2, knitting all the stitches you haven't knit with colour no.1. So to complete 1 row you actually knit the row twice. It might take longer but it saves you from having to have to deal with two colours at the same time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-3298898918984654872015-01-09T14:26:30.217+00:002015-01-09T14:26:30.217+00:00those are going to be mighty nice mitts!! great c...those are going to be mighty nice mitts!! great colors :)karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-86458644282870110722015-01-08T17:47:16.113+00:002015-01-08T17:47:16.113+00:00I am in the middle of my first Fair Isle project, ...I am in the middle of my first Fair Isle project, and have been having so much fun with it!
