I used ladder back jacquard in a colorwork pattern section that had 3 colors at the same time. The difference was amazing. I found, to my surprise, it really didn't matter which of the other 2 colors I was making the extra stitches with for the back. It just made a 2 color mesh, and the front laid perfectly with no puckering or show through. Wonderful technique.
This gave me a bit of a giggle today. I enjoy knitting socks as well, that tin can knits would be fun to do , easier than many other patterns . Will is in another league from me though..... wow !! Loved everyone sharing what they are working on, so inspirational. Will add a fun fact I learned after seeing that Koigu yarn - When most people first read the name Koigu, they believe it to be of Japanese origin, and are surprised to learn that it is Estonian. When first moving to the Koigu farm in Ontario in 1972, co-owner, Maie Landra, believed it only fitting that the farm be named Koigu. This was the name of her husband Harry Landra’s ancestral home in Estonia.

Thanks for sharing!! I've never tried it with three colors.

That IS a fun fact. I also thought it sounded Japanese. Thanks for sharing that.
