Melisande,
This is my backup plan. I learned to knit stranded knitting back and forth in the days of the dinosaurs when none of us had heard of steeking. But I want to learn a new technique.

I absolutely have never managed to learn to knit backwards, but I’ve found that two-handed purling isn’t too bad (for me) and even adapted the Philosopher’s Wool method to work with purling, though it’s been a long time since I did stranded colorwork that wasn’t in the round.

Thanks Jaya and Steph for this...filing away for the yoke of my Wild Apple, if/when I get to it - I want to do it as a cardigan.
Looking forward to seeing a couple of finished Swedish Heartwarmers this winter - such a beautiful design.?

Glad you found the link?
It was a skill I’m glad I learned. Though I would have to relearn it now.?
My shawl is in my office - where I haven’t been since March. I should go get it and wear it at home, though that might jinx things and I’ll have to go back ?
Steph?

Anmiryam, I’d also love to hear how the island is this year. When do you come back??
Jenny, I too thought I was the last one still working on this. It is good to hear that I am not.?
I searched for and found Steph’s video on how to do the colorwork while knitting left to right to avoid 2-color purling and am going to teach myself this technique. My goal is to have it done by Winter Solstice this year!? It is going to be gigantic I think. Maybe I’ll put it up as wall decor ツ

And there was me thinking everyone else had finished and I was the only one to fall by the wayside.

How’s the island this year, Anmiryam? I’m guessing you are still over there.
Loved the dog pics.
