I do two things differently. First when I am starting a project where the skeins have to be alternated, I start with a whole skein and a half a skein, and thereafter add a whole skein each time. That way you are not starting with two whole skeins and then run out of those two and have to add two new ones at the same time. That kinda defeats the alternating ... you need to only be adding in one at a time. Also, if I am knitting in the round, and I have to alternate skeins, I do helix knitting. That way you will not have any definitive line where the skeins change each row. No possible way to tell when the piece is finished where the changes are.

This is super helpful!! Thank you!
You may find helical knitting even easier. Either way is great, but with helical knitting there isn’t one place of changeover.
