intarsia join
There is nothing mysterious nor difficult about changing colours between one block of colour and another. This is sometimes referred to as an intarsia join.
The rule: OLD OVER new. Then you bring up the new yarn around the old. No twisting or any other shenanigans.
right side
Place old (grey) yarn over new (blue)
Bring up new (blue) yarn around old (grey) and continue to knit with new yarn.
wrong side
Just the same as on Right Side:
Place old (blue) over new (grey).
Bring up new (grey) around old (blue)
the bumps
This is what it looks like on the Wrong Side: simple purl-like bumps.

Here’s the full quote: “There is nothing mysterious nor difficult about changing colours between one block of colour and another. This is sometimes referred to as an intarsia join. The rule: OLD OVER new. Then you bring up the new yarn around the old. No twisting or any other shenanigans.” … To me, this is like poetry. 😆 […]
Thank you for alerting me to the quote! I like poetry but must confess to doing much (MUCH) more knitting than reading of poetry…
