KNITTING WITH COLOR
I find knitting with color/multi yarns much easier when knitting in the Persian style. But any way there are 2 steps (the way I do it) and that is all you need to know in order to knit with colors.
Always insert the needle into the stitch before doing anything else!
1. YARN UP - insert needle into your next stitch, put the new yarn between the old yarn and the needle, knit/purl with old yarn.
2. YARN DOWN - insert needle into the next stitch, put new yarn between old yarn and the needles, knit/purl with old yarn.
* If you are adding a new yarn, do the above couple of sts before you need to use the new yarn. after knitting few rows weave the tail you left (2-3inches) into the ridges on the purl side.
* Done with a certain yarn? - do the same as above and leave 3" tail to tuck in later
* Need to carry yarn from here to there? - do the 'yarn up' 'yarn down' but only every 2 sts (instead of every sts).
