  1. tie the other color on to the white and keep doin what your doin


  2. Well, i have tried knitting before but to no avial. Get book or have someone teach you how to knit two colors. Knitting is really hard.

  3. CUTE,   READ THE DIRECTIONS, THAT ALWAYS HELPS.

  4. I just cross the two colors of yarn together and begin knitting with the other color. You don't have to actually tie it, just make sure there's a long enough tail on the yarn so it doesn't pull out while you begin knitting. If you need any more help, or more details just ask me ;). Also this website is very helpful http://www.knittinghelp.com/

    They have tons of videos that you can watch and show you how to do it :).

  5. On the last knit row before you need the white yarn, take the tail of the white yarn in your left hand and, as you knit across the row, knitting with the tail end, not the ball end, weave the tail into the yarn (leave the ball end of the yarn on the right hand side) alternate knitting stitches holding the white yarn above and below the point of  your right needle, wrapping your colored yarn as usual.  Then drop the white tail and purl back with the colored yarn.  Don't worry about the leftover tail yarn, you can safely clip it off later.  Bring the  ball end of the white yarn under and around to the right of your colored yarn, then cut the colored yarn about 8 inches from the last stitch you worked with it and begin to knit with the right yarn, weaving the colored tail in as you did the white  yarn previously, drop the colored tail as needed and continue on with the white.  BTW, KNIT the entire first row of the white yarn to avoid the dreaded two color stitches on  your purl stitches on the right side, you can start the ribbing on the reverse row.
