Vogue Knitting Fall06 pattern #5 advice wanted.
I'm looking on advice for how to do the colors changes on the shawl in the
Fall 06 issue - #5. I'm well read on the various techniques but not very confident about knowing when to use each approach. The pattern has small vertical strips of a pattern of flowers with a lace pattern in a single color in between.. Would you carry the yarn vertically thru the whole length OR would you cut/join each color (using bobbins) for each pattern piece? Some colors changes are only 4 stitches. For the lace panels: Do I carry the main color horizontally across the back of the pattern or use separate balls/bobbins for each lace panel? Since the back will potentially be seen (it is a shawl), I was thinking weaving the colors vertically/horizontally might look better???? Thanks for your opinion! |

I think your LAST thought " Since the back will potentially be seen (it is a shawl), I was thinking weaving the colors vertically/horizontally might look better????" answered your own question!
