I actually have even had success with a 4 row repeat and making sure to grab the yarn to keep it flat.Kookababyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527099310010705359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542845774706050825.post-80993425723400663742011-11-16T21:57:07.651-05:002011-11-16T21:57:07.651-05:00I don't have any suggestions or techniques to ...I don't have any suggestions or techniques to share but I did want to say that I love how your stripes are turning out.

If the stripes are just every two rows I agree with other commentators and go for running the yarn up the side rather than break off at the end of each stripe I-cord would look good tooCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744601510746298605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542845774706050825.post-10817923516223199192011-11-16T12:37:33.786-05:002011-11-16T12:37:33.786-05:00Well, weaving in the ends might not be very fun, b...Well, weaving in the ends might not be very fun, but the sweater looks great.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273727983110361664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542845774706050825.post-59972662142851293762011-11-16T10:42:36.516-05:002011-11-16T10:42:36.516-05:00Another vote for carrying the yarn up the inside. ...Another vote for carrying the yarn up the inside. It is one row. No one will notice but you! I find anything more than two rows (depending on the weight of the fabric, of course) is too much. If it bothers you that much you could always do I-cord over the edges or sew on some facing.katherinelynn_04https://www.blogger.com/profile/12808558895003812015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542845774706050825.post-51939410956218199532011-11-16T09:39:47.201-05:002011-11-16T09:39:47.201-05:00holy cow, you cut the ends for 2 row stripes?
