Helpful Hints & Tips:

-          If the color changes are far apart (like when you are working on the main body of the truck), cut the yarn leaving about 2-3 inches of tail so you can tie them and trim them after you are done.

-          If the color changes are close together (like at the start of the truck) carry the yarn along behind you, I did not fpdc around it, I just carried it (not to tight) and started up with it again when I needed it.

-          I use the word “around” when talking about the fpdc. This is because a fpdc goes around a stitch, not through the loops.
