This changing colors while knitting business is hard.
The first color change was fine. I'm doing a garter stitch and didn't realize there was just no way to make both sides look perfect and was mad for a bit. I just tied it off on the end of the row. And knit the new color tail along with my regular knitting. Then the old color tail I'll weave back in. What I don't get is that the tail has to end someplace. And when it does, how will it stay hidden? Do you know what I mean?
Then the next color change I made on the wrong row, and now BOTH sides of my scarf look like the wrong side. And I tried this thing where I cut the yarn at the end of the row and sort of mushed the ends of the two colors together, thus eliminating any need for a knot or weaving in the extra tails. Only, the old color came up the sides of new color on both ends. So that was lame.
Then I changed the color again and that seemed to turn out okay.
So the thing is, I'm just not that good at changing colors.
