Thanks, Carrie. I was aware of this technique but haven’t tried it yet. Your video gave me tips and details as well as inspiration to give it a go the next time I have an appropriate project.
Thanks for the tutorial! I am just starting stranded colorwork, so I'm working with easy patterns that have pretty short floats, but I have a sweater kit that I may want to use this technique on in the not too distant future.
Thanks so much for this great tutorial! I have watched a number of LBJ videos and have noticed that the increase method varies between backwards loop cast-on, as you have done, and other increase techniques. Have you tried the others and decided that you prefer this one? (Someone mentioned that with the backwards loop cast-on method, the ladder is not “attached” to the work at that point.). Thanks very much! Debbie
I have done the technique with the lifted increase but didn't like the result as well, the ladder tended to show more at that point. The backward loop does leave the bottom of the ladderback open but it's attached when the ladderback is ended with the K2tog. So if there's any concern with little fingers getting caught in the ladderback using a lifted increase to start is a good option.
@@CarrieCraftGeek Thanks so much! I have also seen it done with the bar m1 increase method. I wonder if that would have the same result as you found with the lifted increase? I guess it’s all about experimentation. I am excited to try it! Thanks again!
