Stranded knitting

I like the effect of stranded knitting, both fair isle and nordic. But my
way of knitting is not suitable for it. I can manage a small piece, but
since I dream off knitting a cardigan, I have to inprove my knitting
skills.
I found some instruction on the internet here and here.:
Even found some little movies (one, two) about knitting with 2 colors in 2 hands.
And there are more movies here.

Now just to find a little nice study project and some yarn and I'll be on
my way. Maybe I'll just start with the baby cardigan pattern or those lovely little mittens. Mittens, that's a good starter, nice, small
but useful mittens.
