Your tutorials are always so helpful and I have learned so much from you! Thank you so much

@10rowsaday Год назад

Thank you, Gina :-) Happy knitting, my friend!

@donnab5202 Год назад

Thank you so much! I've avoided stranded knitting because of the messiness of twisted yarns! Now, I'll give it a try!!

So glad that someone on Reddit linked this video because this is brilliantly easy. Thank-you for sharing!

@alwynn2233 Год назад

This is awesome! I thought I’d researched every thing about colour work but I did not know about this. This is going to help me so much!

@Laura-zw2kn Год назад

Thank you! I always have uneven tension in my color knitting because I’m always worrying about the knitting pulling on the front side. This is a great way to help with that! Thank you❤❤❤

@chrisdarry-roseelrod4481 Год назад

Oh yeah! This is how I keep from having long floats. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Maryna. This is so interesting to me as I am half Armenian! Well not just for that because you come up with these amazing techniques! I wish I could share this with my mom. Sadly, we lost her in 2019. She was a great quilter, knitter and crocheter. She loved Bargello and cross stitch too. This technique is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend!💞

@10rowsaday Год назад

Ohhh, my dear Thea. I am so sorry for your loss. It seems that your Mom was an amazing maker, and it is wonderful that you shared this passion for crafts. Warm hugs ☀ 💕

@theastewart6721 Год назад

Many thanks. Sadly the past 20 months has been filled with loss including our dad in the summer of 2021, a young cousin killed in a skiing accident and 4 other relatives. It’s been a hard time so your videos are a very real blessing to me. Keep up the great content! Much appreciated!💞

@elisabetabdallah2922 Год назад

Hey Maryna, thank you so much for this tutorial. I am just knitting a sleeve in the round with stripes. So helpful!

@alexandrawickham2513 Год назад

This is awesome! And it answers so many questions I've had about working with more than one colour! Thank you, very much for demonstrating this.

@amarasharon Год назад

Maryna, that's a fabulous technique. I think it would be easier in the round not having to deal with purling. Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials.

This is the Philosopher's wool technique of catching floats.

@10rowsaday 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the tip. I've just checked a tutorial about this method on the Philosopher's Wool website. The method they describe is similar, but they don't drop the strands and don't twist them after each stitch as they do with the Armenian knitting method. Happy knitting :-)

THANK YOU❤❤❤!!!

@madnessaurus Год назад

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea about it. I tried colour work once but because of how tight it came out I undid it and never tried it again. Saving this video for future!

@georgyevans Год назад

So interesting. Definitely going to try this. I find my tension is uneven and tight when doing stranded knitting as, apart from anything else, I'm not great holding yarn in my left hand. I hoped practice would improve this but trying a completely different technique may be a better solution! Thank you, Maryna, as always, for your very clear and helpful tutorials.

@galeem713 Год назад

I’ve been doing this for years. My stranded work never needs backing. My first knitted project involved stranded work and I didn’t know what carry the yarn meant. I had to cut and redo it, but I didn’t want the work to shrink or stretch. So I tried different ways.

@druidsongevergreens Год назад

Haha I thought I was being so good by twining in the same direction for every catch. I was so close to efficiency

@knitartis Год назад

Love this technique. Hopefully can master it. Do you need to account for extra yardage? And if so, how? Thanks.

@10rowsaday Год назад

I have no doubts that you will master this method :-) As to the yardage, I haven't actually measured the difference in yardage, but if we carry the yarn at the back of the sections that are not using this colour in intarsia knitting, I would say that we do use more yarn. How much more? Most likely, the length of the yarn carried across those sections in solid colour. Frankly, I have no idea how we can calculate the amount of this extra yarn, because a lot depends on the size of those sections and the number of rows or rounds we work. I guess, it is a good idea to have more of that yarn on hand just in case :-)

@karenmowry4507 Год назад

Just ripped out a fair isle sock because I couldn't get it over my ankle and it's a sock pattern I regularly use. Am I correct in assuming this would work better in the round with my pattern? I was using both black & white fingering wool to make a houndstooth and my floats were loose but not loose enough for much stretching in the sock. Thanks for your very clear tutorial!

@10rowsaday Год назад

Hi Karen. Yes, this method is perfect for knitting socks. This is the only method I use when I make colourful socks for myself. Good luck, my friend :-)

@waystodance Год назад

Wow, I can't believe how stretchy the fabric looks! A question: With this technique, would you still make a point of staggering the spots where you catch the yarn?

@10rowsaday Год назад

Usually, I don't bother, but it is possible with just a bit of extra effort. Happy knitting!

@waystodance Год назад

Ok, thanks!

@jfdc8432 9 месяцев назад

So helpful! Thank you! Is there a reason I can't save this to my "Watch Later", or is that coming from RU-vid?

@10rowsaday 9 месяцев назад

I am glad you find this tutorial helpful :-) As to adding to "watch later", I didn't add any restrictions to this video, so the issue must be coming from RU-vid.

@jfdc8432 9 месяцев назад

@@10rowsaday Oh wow - still can't save. Now can't even watch it now "your browser can't play this video" and I'm using safari and watch youtube videos all the time!

@seekercons4498 7 месяцев назад

I’m confused how this could be faster than traditional methods. Dropping and twisting yarn every two stitches would slow me down significantly. I like the idea of maintaining tension and flexibility, but at what cost.

@10rowsaday 7 месяцев назад

It is actually not that bad. With practice, dropping and picking up strands comes naturally and happens very fast. Of course, if you prefer to use a different method, use it. I don't mean to push this method on other knitters, I just show other options. Happy knitting!
