Yes, that would sort of fit that aspect - but you can also go from bits of woods to sticks if you ar...
More Stranded Knitting.
For those of you who are now intrigued by the stranded knitting thing and holding yarns thing, here's a youtube video demonstrating several ways of how you can handle your yarns when knitting with two colours:
It's rather long, but it also includes some information on how to do colour changes. The maker of this video, Suzanne Bryan, also has instructions on how to catch yarns over long floats:
Also very interesting because she looks at dominant colours and the difference between stitches made with the yarn in the left hand and stitches made with the yarn in the right hand.
(I have made a little documentary video of my learning how to do purl stitching with one yarn held in each hand, by the way. So if you want to see about five minutes' worth of awkward needle movements - let me know!)

Amazingly, I was just doing stranded knitting, trying out the two-handed method, and this was exactly the video I found. I was on a train with jerky downloads though so I gave up watching and just approximated - terrific now that I'm home to finally watch it at proper speed and with sound. :-) (I was doing it almost right!)
My son advised me that you had a website, having met you at Dublin in August and chatted to you for bit - I must let him know I've been enjoying your website - I really have!
