This is a very detailed tutorial on how to change colors in knitting that goes well beyond the standard techniques. If you ask me, the joining method itself is only half of the secret. The way you knit across in the first row or round after you switch color is equally important. No matter if you are knitting ribbings or in the round, whenever you change colors, you often end up with jogs or bleed through. In this video, I'll show you quite a couple of tricks to avoid this and so much more. Like how to blend colors for a hue shift kind of effect or how to change colors on a purl row
