Knitting Tutorial – Joining Yarn

Do you hate to join a new color or new ball of yarn and tie a knot in your project? Jean Greenhowe Designs offers you an alternative. [tag]Joining yarn[/tag] with this method involves piercing the yarn with a darning needle and pulling the new ball through the old ball stitches at the end of a row. With this darning needle method there are no knots to untie and the join is smooth, almost invisible.

According to Jean “It takes a wee bit of practice to pierce right through the centres of the A loop and the B yarn strands but it does work beautifully. It is probably the best and most effective joining-on method in the history of knitting. You’ll soon wonder how you managed without it!”
