That's a very neat way of carrying up the yarn and it's great that it doesn't affect the stretch of the fabric.

Thanks for the video! I am finally venturing into variegated knitting projects, and it helps to know as many techniques to adapt to the projects as possible.

I'll definitely be using this for my next stripey shawl! I just finished one and wish I'd known this trick 😂

[@LottaSocks]

Thank you! Saved for future reference, like when I’m working in a shawl (hmmm, or a cardigan w stripes…!). If I’m making a shawl & using a larger needle (looser fabric), cutting & weaving in ends doesn’t always look the best. This technique is perfect! And bonus tip w I-cord edges! Perfect!

[@penkast1605]

Love this solution! I don’t like weaving ends!

[@reneej6579]

Thanks, that’s a unique way of carrying the yarn upwards! I have saved it for future reference and will definitely use your method in future.
