Stranded knitting - how to catch the float

#1

I’ve never really done fair isle or 2 color stranded knitting before and I’m starting a sock pattern that uses it. I’ve watch Amy’s video on stranded knitting and I’m OK with the 2 color part.

Some of my floats will be 5-7 stitches long and the videos here don’t show catching the float. I can’t seem to do it without tripping over my fingers and turning the inside into a tangled mess.

Any suggestions? Any other videos out there that demonstrate it?

TIA

The video here will show you how.
