Colors that Climb, or Vertically-Stranded Color Work, is a technique I have been teaching since 2009. It’s been my playground since learning Rovaniemi knitting in 2008, then departing from it to make it more knitter-friendly and interesting by working it into different fabrics and patterns.
In order to incorporate the contrasting colored stitches into the knitted fabric without overdoing it, and without having a yarn management problem on your hands, please follow these instructions. If you guess how to do it, you are likely to make it more difficult.
Within a few days of this writing, all of my Ravelry.com patterns that use the Colors That Climb technique will have have been updated to include a three-page tutorial. I realize not all of you can learn from me in person, so I hope this helps you accomplish something new to you.
Here is a PDF of the tutorial. Designers, feel free to link to this page for your patterns that use the Colors That Climb technique.
