that the yarn must not float more than three stitches.
Then you have to "wind it around"/"cross around" the thread
you are knitting with.
This makes a even backside.
But if one color is much darker than the other, you should be aware of
the "right side".
If you wind the yarns at same place several rows after eachother,
you will get a "row" of darker/lighter vertical shade.
Therefor you should shift a bit between the different rows.
It is a bit difficult to explain in English, but I hope you
understand!

Thanks Aud. I understand you quite well. No translation problems
at all. LOL!

I'm doing the wrap thing only on the rows where the float is
more than 3 stitches. My problems are more in the line of the
way I'm wrapping the float; it keeps getting looped around the
working yarn, so I have to stick the left needle under it and
pull it around and back.

The other problem I'm having is twists in the balls of working
yarn. I have to stop halfway through the row and untangle/untwist
the trailing yarns. It would be great if I were making cording,
but it's really annoying to have to stop and untwist constantly.

Any more tips?
