Intro to Stranded Colorwork // Technique Tuesday

This video is the first in a series on techniques for knitting stranded colorwork. In this video, I show examples of stranded colorwork, and explain the two greatest challenges for working stranded colorwork: managing two colors at the same time, and maintaining even tension.
