Thankyou so much Wanda for your help
: Hi Brenda,
: You are changing colors
: every 2 rows.But you need to just
: change the color one time and than
: every 2 rows you will just take pick
: up the color that you need and use
: it .So you will just be taking it up
: the side.When you use your first
: color for the first time and are
: finished the first with it and need
: to start with the second color just
: take the new color and slide it into
: the first stitch of your next
: row.Just leave it a little long(like
: leaving a little tail.Than you have
: to hold it as it will be a little
: loose until you knit a few stitches
: across.Knit across the whole row and
: than you will use the second color
: again and knit the second row.Than
: when you have to use the first color
: just drop the second color and pick
: up the first color in your hand and
: start knitting with that again.So
: with each color you will just really
: be taking it up the side of your
: knitting.Sorry,I forget to mention
: that when you first start with your
: first color and than go to add your
: second color you will not cut the
: yarn of your first color you will
: just leave it where it is and than
: when you are starting your second
: color just slip the end thru the
: loop of your first stitch (you can
: tie it if you want)but I do not as
: you have a knot.I just slide it thru
: the stitch and than leaving a little
: tail I start knitting with the
: second color and knit for the 2 rows
: than let that color drop and than
: pick up the first color and it will
: just go up the side and keep doing
: this every 2 rows.So by joining your
: second color you will be using the 2
: balls of yarn attached.But you will
: only be knitting with 1 color every
: 2 rows.Just pick up what ever color
: you need and drop the other one and
: it will just run up the sides for
: every 2 rows.It sounds hard but
: really simple.All you have to do
: later in the spot where you first
: added the new color is when you are
: done you will weave in the yarn
: (where you left the little tail from
: the new color)just like you weave in
: your ends.Hope this helps,Wanda
