Might be a silly question but(beginner here): once I start weaving,do I go under both warp strings or between them?

Such beautiful work. You are an artist.

Hi Jenna! How should I go about doing colorwork in flat pieces where you have to purl one side and knit the other? Also, how would the process for three colours be? I am a beginner so I have too many questions sorry haha, but how should I add the second colour? I knit Portuguese style. Thank you so much!

Thank you.

can you double all notches

Hi Jenna, I do put both yarns around my neck. One from left to right -tensioned in my right hand, and the other right to left and tensioned in my left hand. Paper clip is a great idea. Always like cheap and cleaver solutions to problems.

I'm finally at Chart 1C! Just starting, wondering about the size of your crochet hook and if it matters? I probably have one about the same size :)

Hi Jenna, thank you for sharing your paper clip secret! I have been experimenting with the Portuguese style combined with throwing, and variations on the theme. I’m looking forward to trying it with a paper clip. 😊 I also appreciate your focus on avoiding repetitive stress. I’m only managing about 2 rows of colourwork per day, but that’s because I’m slow, lol. Danielle

Hi Janna, I've started my colourwork! Can I just say that without your tutorials, I would probably be squinting at the photo of the finished shawl because I find the chart quite difficult to read. It seems overly complex. In fact I wonder if it's incorrect in parts because it tells us to "purl on the RS, knit on the WS" for those first and last 4 stitches. I have been knitting every row (lol). But part of the issue is I needed to print on a colour printer, now I see it on a screen and it is less impossible. One of the challenges is the 2 strands of yarn twisting together. I have tried holding them in different hands, with the background (CC1) colour in my right hand. That seems to work but I need to double-check I'm not doing some weird stitch with the CC3 yarn. :) Danielle

Am I right to think that “float” is the length of yarn on the reverse side of the colourwork, between stitches? I’m looking forward to seeing the Portuguese style! :]

great!! thank you!! 🥰

thank you! yes, very helpful!!!

This is brilliant! I have made all sorts of looms, etc with PVC pipe, and was wondering how to introduce tension control in order to create a four selvedge situation. Came in here and, wheeee there it is. I already have everything but the rods assembled, because of earlier experiments. Thanks so much for an elegant solution.

Very clear, exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!

Thank you!!!!!

Very helpful, clear, and concise! Thanks, and great work!

So...how is it used? I agree with Kiva. Wanted to see all that you were doing.

This is genius!! I'll definitely try it out *-* thank you so much!

love your ideas and tutorials, but it would be nice to have some time to see your demonstration before the adobe flash elements and instructions appear. Thanks for providing a tutorial on KZfaq😊

wow that was really cool. thanks for the upload enjoyed gave a thumbs-up

wow you guys are really into yarn lol :) enjoyed gave a thumbs-up

sweet video everybody looks happy I love that. :)

I always wonder what tapestries were. when I heard it in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade I was always curious. it looks really cool

What Naomi said!!! Thank you!!!

I was wondering what kind of binding or tape did you use at the top of the finished back? The binding where hangers are located?

Wow! What a gift! Thank you!

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for and very nicely done--thanks.

Thanks, really helpful! A suggestion, it would be helpful to see how you would finish a weaving that you were going to put a pipe or stick through to hang it up.
