In our shop we made up a ditty: Wrap the one you don't want, wrap the one you do. Drop the one you don't want and pull the needle through! Thanks for this demonstration!

In addition to the very tidy appearance of the wrong side of the fabric, the floats 'meander' up and down consuming more yarn that just a straight float across the back does and making the fabric considerably more elastic. I think this is, by far, the best way to work stranded knitting. I learned this from a very old video I can't find anymore (I think it was from Philosopher's Wool as you mentioned) and had forgotten how to weave in the float when knitting with yarn held by the left hand. Thanks very much for the reminder. Nice job.

Thank you so much! This is truly brilliant. I have a color project which is flat, knit in rows, and knew how to weave the (right) knit side, but not the purl. I really love this and it’s fun to do. As you mention also, it actually makes an attractive “wrong” side. Thank you!!!

Great technique. Love the reference to Joan (schrouderknits). Her knitting wisdom has helped me out a few times.

Thank you for this video! I have been struggling for days with other videos and my library of books. Your simple explanation of "wrap the wrong way, then the right way, remove the wrong way, finish the purl stitch" is all I needed to know. It is the technique I use for stranding with the knit stitch in the round, but I couldn't manage the stranding of occasional purl rows in the round. Bravo!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I've honestly put off this color technique because in the past, I was never happy with the floats just hanging around in the back, but now I can't wait to knit up a pair of gloves I've had sitting to the side for almost a year now!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!! Wow, what a fantastic teacher I so liked your little diddy of how to remember things. I was considering Fair Isle for a handbag I am making and now I know I am going to use do it.

Wow, this video is EXACtLY what I was looking for. I'm very excited to start using this new technique. I thought I knew all the knitting tricks but this one is new to me -- and I need it for a project I'm working on right now. Thank you so much. You're an excellent teacher.

Now your design is the kind I like! I don't particularly like those original looking fair isle design's. Your work is one of a kind! Thank you, and looking forward to more tutorials like this!

Thank you for this. I was able to do that knitting but this is the first video for the purl side. So great!

I have always been so slow with fair isle. Now with this method I'll speed up enormously. Thanks

This is the best video I have seen on this technique!! Thank you!!

I have searched for this technique! Did see it at Philosofers wool but forgot their name until I found this video! Thankyou! Soo helpful!

I started making stockings and what a mess I made with other advice of bobbins or butterfly's. I started to just do the intarsia patterns with just long strands of yarn. I never seemed to get tangled but the ending results was to short of yarn at times and so many ends to weave in. My 2nd stocking was so distorted, I almost gave up multi color knitting. I had so many places to duplicate stitches that did not align. After so many videos I found yours and let me add your little ditties on remembering the wrapping,, wrap wrong wrap right etc. was so very helpful. I made small flash cards to have next to me till I get that ahhhaaa moment. Thank you so much. Thank you again

The most helpful video I've found for purling with 2 colors.

Absolutely the BEST demonstration of this! Thank you so much!

You are a great teacher !!!!!!!! Thank you from Argentina.

In 5 minutes you showed me everything I needed to know and then some. Wonderful teacher!

Beautifully explained and will be helpful to a novice fair isle knitter to master an easy way to keep strands of wool from tangling.

super helpful! I learned the two handed technique years ago through PW videos, but had not considered for flat knitting. Thank you. Excellent instruction.

Many, many thanks this is the best and understandable explanation.

Best video to explain this technique, thank you!

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

thanks for a concise and easy to understand video, I can't wait to try this!

Interesting technique! Thank you for sharing! I've never tried fair isle because of the very reason that you mention at the beginning of the video. I'll have to give it a try now!

This was so helpful - and for more than the purl. I knit your shawl for my mom for Xmas - was surprised when it popped up here...and was working on the border. Had no idea what the C2 switch was for but now, when you flipped it over, I can see how lovely it is bound over the steek on the back. Thank you - it is a magnificent design...and fun to knit with the weaving technique! I learned a lot!

Such a clear showing, congrats

Very helpful! Thank you very much! I so wanted to learn this technique! 😊

Thank you, I have been wanting to knit a Fair Isle scarf for ages, but didn’t think it looked great.

Exactly what I was looking for too. Thanks for such a great video.

This is so so so helpful. Thanks a million. 💖🙏

What a beautiful technique. Just what I needed to see for a design I am working on :-) Thanks.

Thank you for showing this to me. I love this video!!!!!

So beautiful.

You have made my day!!!! Thank you.

Thank you , I will try this method!🙏

Magnífica técnica!!! Gracias por subir el video.

OMG - I love this technique. I have tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to fair isle (in the round works well enough for hats, but sweaters for me are a challenge). Also, I dislike knitting in the round because of the jog, and that jog can be especially noticeable in colorwork. I am excited to try this technique on a child's cardigan that includes a little colorwork sheep. Thank you for this demonstration.

Wow, great video. Thank you so much, so helpful

Perfect explanation! Thank you!

Great video and thank you !

Thank you soo much from Paris !!

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Far too clever for this bunny! Xx

Thank you! Great instructions.

Ive found what i needed at least! I thank you a lot for the useful video and sorry for my bad english!

Thank you , I've learned a lot

love the video ...thank you ..can i use the same way with three colors ?? thank you

beautiful , thank you so much !

Gracias por compartir

Very nice! Thank you!

Hello and thank you for this extremely helpful video. I'm a continental knitter and have only now started experimenting with right-hand knitting. What I observe is that the right-hand knitting and weaving in gets a bit puckery on the right side, and when I weave in, alternatingly, one stitch is larger than the other which shows on the right side as a regular sort of pattern. Has anyone had this experience and has been able to solve this problem?

Thank you!

Fabulous video. I was trying to find a copy of the DVD by Philosophers Wool. A Raveler referred me to this video. It did not come up in my searches because I looked for KNIT Fair Isle & this is WEAVE Fair Isle. The grey on grey scarf: is that an available pattern?

Oh thank you 💋...

Fabulous

I like this, but did nip it catch the website name.

Please could give me the links to weaving every second stitch

Thank you so much for this video. Floats are so ugly I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t do this. Don’t even have to keep track of stitches to catch the floats.

How can I do this if I’m a continental knitter?

Nice friend and big like I'm new subscribers

So we'll explained

Wow

I think I'm having a hard time following you because I can't see the chart you are following for the backside. Are you trapping every other stitch?
