I almost didn't give this technique a try; I thought it would be painfully meticulous, like having to do a color change in almost each and every knot, but in fact it's a lot of fun! Even more so than having to tuck away the unused color to the back each time. And you don't even need to plan two rows ahead like a chess grandmaster, the path of a string is pretty obvious. I have only tried a two color pattern so far, though - and yes, I messed up the first row, like @KuteKat says! 😂 I love this, thank you a million times!
@beatlesall yes you sure can. I would prevent to many colour switches, but if you look at the pictures at pattern #59876 you can see a wonderfull example by @sodapop
I'm trying this right now (seriously I am making a keychain with it right now) and it is really hard at first but after the first few rows, I figured it out and got back to my normal pace. For people who are trying this pay attention for the first few rows so it's easier to get the hang of.
@mjlgvw so my dad saw a keychain that I made and wanted one (its pattern #67013 ) but he didn't like that the back was messy. Do you think that this technique could work well with this technique?
