Two-Handed Fair Isle Technique Tutorial

The Philosophers Wool Website has a great tutorial (video clip) explaining how to do the Two-Handed Fair Isle Technique. http://www.philosopherswool.com/Index.htm

After learning this technique, it made knitting fair isle easier, more fun, and best of all, no longer had to worry if I was knitting too tight and would not be able to pull the sock over my heel.

Thanks for the link! I watched the video clip and was amazed! I ordered the full video.

And the sock book too. Sigh. What can i say--I'm addicted to socks.

This link helped me in the past to learn the two-handed fair isle. Previously I took the two colours in one hand and turned then forwards and backwards. It was also pretty easy and not too tight. But after a time, I had to untangle. And that problem is solved by the two-handed fair isle.
And now I'm addicted!
