I was using a Fair Isle pattern in a cowl and figured out how to carry yarn with both hands. However, I had one row with a long float (7 stitches) and tried to invent a way to pick up the float without having to twist the balls of yarn around. It wasn’t very elegant, but it worked. Could you create a video on how to do this? I may or may not have done it correctly.
Marlea, great idea! We can add that to our list !
