dear crafty friends:

i have a query. does anyone have any idea how to knit patterns into something you're knitting? (if that makes sense.) for example, working a heart or letters in a different color of yarn into the fabric? i'm not sure since i'd be doing it freehand (though i'd definitely sketch this out to figure out how), and i think i have a general idea since i've switched colors before... but does anyone have a suggestion or two on how to tackle this? i tried searching online but then again i didn't know what exactly i was searching for, so i'm really sorry if i sound silly in asking this.

thanks everyone!
