The first couple of rows you may be able to get away with carrying your bamboo across the back of your shimmer and I would just let the bamboo drop until you need it again.<BR/><BR/>However, as you continue to do that you will be dragging more and more yarn across the back. You can start twisting your bamboo with the shimmer in the back every few stitches to carry it across without making a big mess.<BR/><BR/>Or you can use two different strands of bamboo for each side. I hope this helps, it will look fantastic when you are done. Is this back and forth or in the round the round will be much harder.brandilionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13502399922656377545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238604708017082174.post-77128104032235776162007-08-12T18:41:00.000-07:002007-08-12T18:41:00.000-07:00After messing with this thing tonight, I've come t...After messing with this thing tonight, I've come to a few conclusions. One, the pic is not made with shimmer in the center. It's probably a close shade of bamboo to the main color. BASTARDS! The shimmer is, well, freaking shimmery. And doesn't blend well with the bamboo. Even when two strands of the shimmer are held together.

It's where you knit with two colors and carry the the inactive color along the back. Look at the knittinghelp.com video on intarsia and see if you think it would work. <BR/><BR/>http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/advanced_techniques/<BR/><BR/>Now I have to confess that I haven't been able to figure this method out myself, but maybe it will make more sense to you.knitting pirate librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411607429804045149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238604708017082174.post-245039807457511582007-08-12T06:46:00.000-07:002007-08-12T06:46:00.000-07:00drats!I figured when I got to that point that it w...drats!I figured when I got to that point that it would be obvious what to do!vagabond bettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301235980990652601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238604708017082174.post-49876843271419197442007-08-12T06:38:00.000-07:002007-08-12T06:38:00.000-07:00Well howdy Ms Daisy!
