In this video I demonstrate how to “carry” colors when you’re knitting stripes in three or more colors. Carrying the colors means fewer ends to weave in when the project is finished.
The yarn I’m using for demonstration is Kraemer Perfection Worsted. The needles are Addi 16″ circulars.

In this video I demonstrate a normal bind-off, using a crochet hook instead of a knitting needle. The result of this technique is the same as the common BO called for in most patterns.
You can see this same bind-off using knitting needles in slow-motion here.

In this tutorial we talk about working the stitches in the Celtic Cable Scarf, pattern by Vanessa Lewis. This pattern includes both charted and written instructions, and uses size US 6 (4mm) needles. The pattern calls for 16″ circulars, but you can use longer circulars or straight needles.

The cable needles I show in the video:

The Brittany wood cable needle
The sterling silver cable needle
The short DPN I show is a 5″ needle from ChiaoGoo.
In the video I mistakenly said the pattern is by Vanessa Ewing – it is designed by Vanessa Lewis! Sorry for the mistake.
