I am a woman, wife and mama. Knitting keeps me sane in this crazy world. All seems good when my fingers are throwing the yarn. I am a stitch dictionary addict with a passion for creating patterns.

Hi – love you dish cloths and am trying to make the Playful Plaid, but having a problem between Rows 7 & 8 when I’m trying to go from the contrasting color to the main color. It seems the thread with the main color that I need to use on Row 8 is at the other end of the needle. Someone told me to carry the color up, but when would I do that or how do I do it without using it to knit? I’m probably the only one who has ever had a problem with this! Hope you can help.

I am glad that you asked this question because I am sure there are others having the same problem. First, I would watch the video link I posted for carrying the color up the side. The working yarn should be knit back and forth while the non-working yarn stays put at one end. Starting with Row 7 you should “carry the MC up the side” while knitting with the CC. Rows 7-12 should be knit with the CC. Hope this helps!
