How to Knit in the Weaving Style
This knitting is advanced. In a way it is a photomontage so that you are actually knitting two pictures simultaneously. Each stitch will have one yarn from one picture, and another from the second. Pictures in this style are: Seagull , Cathedral , White Cross and Rainbow Samadhi .
The Cathedral was my first piece - one picture have lines going up and down, the other picture has horizontal lines. In general this style creates a wonderful shimmering effect that I love. In the Seagull, one picture has the lines going across, the other is the picture of the seagull.
So, to knit this way you will need to decide on one picture that will serve as a background or will be very simple so you will not need much effort to follow it. The other will be your main subject or the picture you want to knit. Always arrange all your colors/yarns in advance on a tray or a table, and there you go... You can mark the background colors on your chart with highlight markers to separate them from the other design.
It is tricky - but definitely worth it!
