Catching floats I In stranded knitting, depending on the pattern, you sometimes get very long floats. This is not very practical: It makes it harder to keep an even tension and the floats tend to get caught in fingers and toes and other objects when wearing or using the item. So, it’s a good idea to catch these floats onto the back side of the work. Here I am catching the contrast colour (the dark colour on the left) onto a stitch of the main colour (the pink one). #knitting | Annaplexis
