Quick question: if one of the strings for a certain color runs short, would I attach another piece of it the same way I would add a new color?

@Mahi it can be done, but it's ambitious. If you check @sodapop on Instagram she shared her experience with knotting this pattern using the clean back technique.
Sone general extra tips:
- use seperate pieces of string for separate blocks of colour (for instance for the blue background colour use one string for the left and one for the right side)
- print the pattern and draw the routes of the strings out before you start knotting
- try not to hide more than two strings into one knot
Good luck🍀
Hope you will tag me when you're done so I can see🤩

I have a question- How will we use the technique when there are more than 2 colors. I am making the pattern #59867

I almost didn't give this technique a try; I thought it would be painfully meticulous, like having to do a color change in almost each and every knot, but in fact it's a lot of fun! Even more so than having to tuck away the unused color to the back each time.
And you don't even need to plan two rows ahead like a chess grandmaster, the path of a string is pretty obvious. I have only tried a two color pattern so far, though - and yes, I messed up the first row, like @KuteKat says! 😂 I love this, thank you a million times!

@beatlesall yes you sure can. I would prevent to many colour switches, but if you look at the pictures at pattern #59876 you can see a wonderfull example by @sodapop

I want to ask, you can make this technique even if there are more than 2 colors you need right now?@

Thnx everyone!

And good tip @KuteKat. Another tip is to use more then one string of the same colour for different blocks of colour in your pattern.

I launched a challenge for the month of April in the BB forum and on my IG for a clean back alpha item, feel free to join! ❤️
