Fair Isle project

Hi Nyssa!
As I live in Norway, I often knit with more than one color at a time;
I knit Norwegian pattern more often than than Fair Isle
I make it as a rule(learned from my mother!LOL!)
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!
