The colander idea is GENIUS. I avoid intarsia specifically because of the twisting issue, but this is such a simple solution, it’s almost silly! Getting a pretty colander and tackling my next project ASAP 🤪
You blew my mind with the colander as a yarn bowl!!! =O Those colors are beautiful together and you make intarsia look so easy! I can't wait to try it out! Thanks, Bethany!!
Thanks! This is going to sound really stupid, but every video I've found on intasia knitting as as beginner didn't mention what to do with the yarn when purling. I didn't know I just had to bring it to the front!
love this demo! how would this work if doing 4 (or more) squares - would you need 2 balls of each color for the transitions, or would you take the yarn from the earlier square of that color and draw it across, cutting and weaving in after?
If you're doing 4 or more squares alternating the same color you would need separate skeins for each square to keep it tidy. You don't need a full skein - you could unwind a separate ball yourself and use that instead. I wouldn't cut the working yarn until you're finish with the full 15 rows.
Quick question! First time using intarsia, and using it for a blanket. How do I do multiple of these chained together? Without sewing them together? The blanket is just a simple checkered pattern. And its going to have more than a few squares from end to end
Hi! Can this technique be used for other types of stitches such as the moss stitch? After we finish a row of patchwork & we want to switch to a new set of alternating colors - how would that work? Thank you!
So if we are knitting with multiple skeins, how does it create a checkerboard pattern above. I get how it’s checkerboard beside each other but how would you do it so it’s also above? Hope that makes sense!
As I'm knitting your V neck vest pattern, I am just confused as to how to knit like this (the patchwork) when I already have 56 stitches of my first colour. I feel like I'm missing something obvious
Okay, I figured this out for anyone else reading this who may have the same issue. Knit the ribbing in one color as the pattern describes, then use a simple technique for adding a color when you knit across for the body on that first row. StudioKnit has a video called How to Change Yarn in Knitting that shows how to do it. It's really easy. For example, if you knit the bottom in Color A and are knitting a small, you'd knit the ribbing and then continue on to your first stockinette row. You'd knit 14 stitches with that same skein of yarn, then add in Color B and knit 14 stitches. Then add in your second ball/skein of Color A and knit 14 stitches, and continue. Hope that makes some sense and helps!

I love hearing that!!! Haha I actually haven't brought this back to my kitchen..... it's staying in my workspace forever!
thank you for this tutorial! i cant wait to incorporate this into my next project.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Great to hear!!
Really enjoying all of your tutorials! I love this checkered technique and hope to use it soon!
Yay! I'm so glad to hear that!
This was so easy to follow, thank you!
I'm so glad!
THANK YOU..Love your videos. Looking forward to the next one. :)
Glad you like them! :)

Does it have to be circular needles? Can you use regular straight needles

could I ask what yarn this is? it's so pretty!
Yes, I love it! It's Feeling Good Yarn by Wool and the Gang.
How do you switch to the first color for the third square?

Hey! Once you work the number of rows for the first set of squares, you need to break the yarn and use the alternate color as your new working yarn

Yes I have the exact same issue!! Did you work it out? What do you have to do?
@@Abzkebabs13 i think you need to make multiple balls of yarn if you do these squares, so e.g. 2 of each color if you work with 2 colors.
Same!! Please advise!

I just don't know how many stitches to knit a side 3 × I don't know where the arm where to go next
Por favor lo podrían poner en español
