Skeins Baby
Posted on Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 at 6:09 pmhow do you add more yarn to knitting projects?
i am knitting my friend a baby blanket and i don't think that one skein of yarn will be enough so how do i add more yarn without unraveling my work?
You can do what is called a "Russian Join" (probably the most universal yarn join w/o loosing the integrity of your work - regardless of what type of pattern you're doing). And it avoids tying a knot and having it pop up where you wouldn't want it.
You can find a video here:
http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-tips
And here is a picture diagram (very helpful):
http://www.knittinganyway.com/freethings/russianjoin.htm
The second version is my personal favorite b/c you don't need to cut the yarn to join the yarn.
