Intarsia Knitting
Which knitting method should I use?
I am knitting a blanket with a date (Oct 29 2007) and a big heart in the middle with two names. I am using 3 different colors (obviously). I made up the pattern myself using a graph. I don't want a wrong side of the blanket. Is it possible for me to double knit with one side blank? Or not? I know there are a few methods to add new colors. I know there is intarsia & stranding. I haven't found a video adding a new color using either of those methods. Can you add anything to help me?
You may not want a wrong side to the blanket, but you are going to get one. That's how knitting works. But you can do double knitting, and have one side plain. It takes some work and concentration, and I don't know if you are at that level yet. But you can try. There are a couple of good sites with clear videos on how to do this.
Any video on intarsia or stranding (Fair Isle) will show you how to add new colours. Adding a new yarn is in basic instructions, so you may need to go back to those sites for that information. There are many methods to join a new yarn; you can use any that your prefer.
