I want to put a rider to the video for those who knit in the "english" fashion.  I tried  this and found multiple times  that the 'floater' yarn was not "captured" as shown. Sometimes it was, but other times not, with no apparent reason. Eventually  I worked out what the problem was, its the postion of the two yarns relative to each other as you wrap around the needle.    The knitting yarn MUST be underneath the floater yarn for this to work. To try and explain this better, when you wrap the floater yarn, you can see that the knitting yarn can be either above or below depending on how you have picked it up. Maybe the continental way does not cause this problem.

My grandma loves to knit and she used to be amazing at it but now she really does not have the attention span to follow a pattern. Still she wants to knit cute animal sweaters for her great grandkids. So while she's making the animal part I sit beside her and dictate to her the entire pattern and watch every stitch she makes so she doesn't make a mistake. She still makes a lot of mistakes and there's a lot of frogging and I know I can make the sweaters myself in half the time but these are some of my best times spent with her.

We're making a penguin sweater right now and there are a lot of floaters at the back so I showed her your video.  She's amazed how easy it is and how she didn't know it all these years.

Yours was the 3rd video i watch on picking up my floats. You make it look less complicated than they did. Thank you

Your instructions are simple the very best. I appreciate your videos immensely. Thank you for making them and for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you for teaching this. It makes knitting fair isle a joy! It took a while to get used to knit with both hands. Once it’s managed, how wonderful! No more fighting twisting yarns. Thank you very much 👍

I watched several other videos and could not get it. You are the first person that taught me how to do this. Thank you so much!

You were not the top video in my search, but seeing the scotties made me want to watch and give you a thumbs up. How you taught it made me subscribe. Thank you.

I did a search on color work because I’m new to it and wanted to learn. I was curious about the float. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.😊

Thanks again for another clear and very helpful video Suzanne. I always learn so much from them.

This was incredibly helpful and so easy to follow. Thank you so much Suzanne- your videos are great.

oh my ! I set the speed of the video to 0.5 to make sure I get the technique and well Suzanne you sounded amazing - just like me after a few drinks :-D

I haven’t knitted in almost a year and couldn’t remember how to do this. I’m so glad I saved your video bc I had to watch so many to find yours last year no one else demonstrates this technique and it is so helpful. Thank you thank you thank you

Your video and narrative is so easy to understand and the results are impressive! Thank you!

Thanks, Suzanne. This really helps on how to make floats without them showing through on the right side!

I LOVE your videos.

You are the best! This tutorial is excellent and I'm going to try it tomorrow !!!

Love your well-done videos!!!  Thank you for making knitting techniques understandable!!

Always watch your videos.  You are the best ❤ Thank you🎉

Excellent tip on the staggering! Thank you so much!

Thank you for explaining this technique. I now understand that my problem was caused by not staggering the floats!
