... I just have to congratulate you on such a nice design, but after 60 years of knitting, ... no matter what I do, the ring gets a twist in it! So many stitches on a fine needle - it's tough! ... Really interested to know how you ever did that???

Faux Ikat
True Ikat is a style of weaving that uses custom-dyed warp or weft threads that are resist-dyed (e.g. tie-dye). When the threads are woven, they will create an intricately designed fabric that appears to have been printed.
I use faux ikat to achieve ikat-type effects in knitted fabric using variegated yarn that has been hand-dyed. The result retains the bold areas of color that we are often attracted to originally in the unwound skein, rather than resulting in the colors becoming broken visual mixed (and often muted) when knitted randomly. The Ring of Lace pattern includes a bonus mini-tutorial on knitted faux ikat.
