It's a beautiful way to stop pooling of colour with yarns like this - and it creates a beautiful dot or long vertical line "waterfall" effect with the colours. Try it, you might be surprised.</p> <p>I haven't tried it with a lace pattern as yet, but it possibly would be achievable, perhaps with selective placement of the K1B. It doesn't seem to "bulk up" the knitting, either.</p> With all your beautiful yarns, have you tried knitting them with the K1B (knit one below) technique every second row?

I haven’t tried it with a lace pattern as yet, but it possibly would be achievable, perhaps with selective placement of the K1B. It doesn’t seem to “bulk up” the knitting, either.

It reminds me of those "paint your finished lace" pieces which I seem to have seen a lot of recently, but still in a clearly "knit-in color" way. (That probably doesn't make any sense.) I like the pooling effect, and the pattern is both simple and intricate enough to show it off to great effect. Nice work.</p> I love it!
