There are basically three ways to do two (or more) color knitting:

1. horizontal stripes

2. stranded knitting, such as fairisle or jacard

3. intarsia

Intarsia in the round, while possible, is so incredibly frustrating you have to be a glutton for punishment to try it.

Stranded knitting in the round is pretty much the same, or slightly easier than stranded knitting in the flat.

So that leaves stripes in the round. The problem there is that each time you do a color change you get a little zig zag between the two colors that is unsightly. This is called a "jog."

There are several techniques for avoiding jogs. There are links below to two of the most popular.

What can you make yourself out of french knitting?

You can coil it up to make coasters or loop it round to form the petals of a flower. If you add features, you can make little snakes. :) hope this helps! There is a pattern online which uses these loops to make really cute teddy bears (at Lion Brand). You can also make the letters of the alphabet which can be attached to another project. You can make coasters, hot pads, placemats, rugs. There is also a book called Corking (Kids Can Do It) by Judy Ann Sadler which gives pattern ideas.

How do you make colors by mixing paint?

Paint colors are made by adding pigment or colors to white paint. The more of a certain color you add the deeper that color becomes. You can mix colors to get different results. If you add yellow to a white base, you will get yellow paint. If you add yellow and red, you will get orange paint. The more of a certain color you add, the deeper that color is. Just like mixing salt in water. The more salt you add, the saltier the water gets. The more blue pigment you add the deeper the blue gets.

How do you add a new skein of yarn to the one you are knitting with?

* There is no 'cast on' in crocheting. 'Cast on' is a knitting term. Crochet is generally started with a simple loop repeated to form a chain. * You don't cast on exactly because you have only one stitch at a time on the hook. In knitting it is called casting on because you are putting a whole row of stitches on a needle. Instead in crochet we make a "foundation chain." Determine the number of stitches you want in a row and make a chain of that many stitches. If you plan to do single crochet, add one additional chain to count as the first single crochet of the second row after you turn. For a row of half double crochet, make it two extra chains and for a double crochet, make it three extra chains.
