As a "self taught" knitter (one who _COULD NOT FIGURE OUT_ what the pictures were trying to teach me), I've always carried ALL the "pick up threads" over my left forefinger, not just the "accent color" yarn. It's _WAY_ easier for me, and *FAST, TOO!*

Edit: I finally figured out that part of my problem with the "normal, " or "English, " knitting techniques is that my forefingers are rather short. *I **_NEVER COULD_** "throw over" the yarn or thread!*

How beautiful Arne! The picking and throwing method has become my favorite for color work, thanks to you. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[jazmynlizbeth]

I still remember learning about alternating the picking and throwing about two years ago. I still do it to this day! Love your videos, Arne and Carlos! ❤

[kelleyannlahey]

Thank you, Arne. I have so much trouble with colourwork. I will definitely try this.

I not too awfully bad at tension now, but I will admit I was very proud of myself when I learned how to feed in a thread from each hand 😊

[KateNord]

Did you just sing that? :) Wonderful knitting and thank you for the tip!

[gabrielaklappenbach]

how do you do to avoid a hole when you are finishing a round and start a new one when you are doing stranded colorwork.

[littlestbroccoli]

Thank you guys. I knit like this now because of you Arne! Norwegian purl has saved us all a lot of trouble too 👍🌞

[mistyblue]

[miabagley]

One day soon I'll try color work!

[bluesky]

Gorgeous design!!! Where can I buy the pattern?!?! ❤

[jacobleatherberry]

I can't get continental gauge right. Usually with two colors I use my right hand with one yarn on the tip of my finger and the other controlled by my thumb using my second knuckle

Hey i love this pattern but i cant knit on cable needles ;(

[kaboomsihal]

I struggled soooo much with holding yarn in the right jand until i realised you can literally just stick the needle in, stop and throw the yarn over the needle. I was trying to make it one motion like I do with yarn on the left and it would just not work.
