Thank you so much for showing us this method without all of the chatter! Why do some people think we come here to listen to them talk and talk and talk? I have seen this same technique take 9 minutes to show. You are awesome!

[@Flowerhead247]

📣LUV THIS‼Because that was so fast!!! So much easier than other methods!!! Luv it! THANK YOU!🌷🌷🌷

[@dani71johnson]

Quick, easy and not a lot of bulk! Thank you so much! I’m so thankful I found this video!❤

[@AsWeSpeak154]

OMG! This is the absolute best and strongest knot. I got it on the first attempt and I made so much noise that everyone came running to see if I won the lottery. 🤭 Your instructions were clear and perfect and I thank you for sharing.🤗❤

[@pocketstars3215]

I like this method. I can't seem to do it. I guess I need practice. I watched 7 other videos over and over to show me this trick. I was not grasping it. I got very discouraged. Just your video was very clear. I understood where the yarn goes. What to pull. How to wrap it. Some reason I am not getting that pretty smooth knot. I am getting a Knot alright, but it balls up. I think a few more tries shall do it . If I can't get it then I will go back to using scissor, lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting this far 😁 I don't know what I am doing wrong in the end 😅

[@nthompso04]

This was by far the easiest and most helpful video I’ve ever seen on joining yarn

[@barbbrentsz]

I've seen other videos on this.. none showed it as clearly.. with the added tips.. love it thank you

[@fiveminutefridays]

this is so cool! I'm crocheting a lacey shawl right now and this is a great join that doesn't leave me with lengthy ends to hide! Very clear video and instructions, so I did it perfectly right away, thanks for posting :)

[@jcwhite352]

Cannot tell you how HELPFUL this is!!! No darning needle needed at all!

[@jacquinorman6114]

Thank you for this - it is by far the least fiddly and awkward, and the quickest join I have seen. Super easy to achieve first time too.

[@TGrems-dg8qn]

Where have u been all of my life??? lol This is fabulous!!! Thank u, Thank u, Thank u

[@veviticushumphrieswallace2546]

I am so grateful to you for showing me this. I had to practice a couple of times, but I finally got it! THANK YOU.

[@meganwood8323]

Coolest join I’ve ever seen!!

[@queencleo1151]

I've watched this knot being done in so many videos, but I just couldn't get it right. However, your tip on the placement of the second wrap around the thumb is 'key'.... and yea! I did it 🤗 Thanks so much for your tutorial!

[@thearodgers8265]

I've seen this many times but it's the best I've heard it explained. Thanks.

[@cathharr08]

One word...AWESOME!!! Thank you. I’m crocheting a baby blanket for my new grandson.. my first grandchild, and this is a lifesaver. My only regret is it took me a long time to find this tutorial.

[@stacyknutson7883]

😞 I’ve tried and tried… can’t get it to work…

[@jodienaiburg4076]

Thank you thank you thank you. So easy and it's a strong hold. No cutting no big bumps....perfect!

[@cdedepot]

I love this method for joining in the middle of a project. No need for scissors to clip tags.

[@Patcast007]

Thanks very much!!! Using it all the time in grandchildren’s blankets.

[@theflutekid6106]

Thank you! This is the BEST way to join two things of yarn/string. Great video!!!

[@lucilehammond4454]

Where were you 60 years ago when I started knitting?! People have showed me various versions of joining yarn with a knot, but I tend to forget how I started by the time my teacher or video finishes. This was very helpful, and brief and allows me to hold the yarn in whatever position my arthritis allows. Thanks for this.

[@pebbles7864]

This is a great tip! I'm making a shark for my Granddaughter and needed to be certain that the stitches weren't going to come apart. This technique nailed it! Thanks so much!! I really appreciate being able to find must needed tips on here and you explained it perfectly.

[@stephaniekethley913]

Thank you so much. I'm new at crochet, it's been a struggle, but I see your way of joining next color or ends is so easy!

[@joanndelaire3903]

Excellent instruction with great result. Thank you

[@lisawooden7033]

Just tried it! Awesome! Thank you!🧶

[@karenescalera8193]

Awhah!! The other video I watched didn't do the third wrap and I couldn't figure it out. Thank you!!!!!!

[@seonghyunae]

Oh my gosh thank you so much 😂 I was basically just tying them in the most basic way possible and it was sooo difficult to keep it together. Now I'm trying to make scarves for the Winter Shelter and I need a professional knot to work with so it doesn't come undone. This was very helpful!!!

[@LucasGuillemette]

Thank you so much. I learned this one before and i couldn't find anyone to show me again and i really needed this!

[@hislambcreations]

Thank YOU!!! I’ve tried this with other videos like it and have been unsuccessful- (numerous times!) I try with your video and got it on the first try!! I screamed “I got it!” And my cat looked at me like I was nuts! 😂

[@Ravengerson3148]

I have used your join method so many times Now Thank you so much for this video 😁!. It's especially wonderful with yarn that there is no way to sew with the Russian Join and you don't need to have a needle with you all the time. This is 👍 👍 👍!

[@OliviaLiebermann-di3zl]

I am delighted with this no-end magic knot. I am now able to place the knot exactly at the stitch where I am changing the color (with a little practice) and I am crocheting a hat with no weaving ends. Thanks a lot!

[@dilemmix]

I did it! After a few failed tries I rewatched how you do it and it worked. THank youQ!

[@brookelovell9823]

I have been crocheting since I was eight years old I am now 51 years old. This technique is absolutely awesome I wished I had known it years ago thank you so much for making this so much easier!

[@sueshireman1859]

I tried this soooo many times...but this time, thanks to you, I GOT it. Woohoo, THANK YOU !!! 😍😍😍

[@camrobn]

Oh that is so amazing. My baby blanket thanks you.

[@lease4064]

Most amazing thing I’ve learned about crocheting. Thank you so much!! This has changed my life

[@chytrim901]

Needed to be closer to fingers at all times. I just had to replay video several times to see. Verbal help after several times. Did figure it out and a new easy way to join.

[@sandradean7603]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!. I went step by step and finally got this! This is great. I am working on a striped blanket and was having ends galore. Now I can do it without being concerned about how many ends I will have because I won't have any! Love this.

[@wyldflora]

Wish I could like this video 100 times!! I'm working on a double stranded scarf and didn't want to have to weave in the ends in the center and this knot worked perfectly with my bulky yarn! I got it the first time I tried (may be because I'm so used to making fishing knots like this) will definitely be coming back to this video again and again if I forget how to do this

[@belindasaxby7916]

I can finally turn all my little leftover bits into balls of yarn thanks to this little trick .

[@MsTickR]

it took me a dozen trys but I got it, my thanks,

[@annettelabeau4551]

Me too, almost gave up

[@wulfcwen]

I will try this on the blanket I am making. No ends to weave in has to be a bonus and with colour changes every two rows it makes for a lot of weaving in of ends. Thank you for adding this video

[@bonniecouncil1814]

It took a few attempts but it finally worked. Thank you! I love it.

[@pamperedpetsprogrooming5126]

Perfect tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@Coultermatthewd]

I had watched another video of this same technique, but couldn't quite get it. I watched THIS video, and bam, first try, nailed it. Thanks!!

[@AllFreeCrochet]

YES! I'm glad I could help! ~Chris

[@donnamiller725]

A lot easier than one that I had seen prior. Thanks!

[@doriannebari5674]

Explanation was perfection, detailed!!!

[@lexibrey4334]

This literally is the best! Thank you so much!

[@oliviafidderman-fay2329]

My first time didn't work at all but got it on the second. Much prefer this method to the one I was using before. Thanks for sharing!

[@ScathachWarrior]

This is literal magic, thank you for teaching us your sorcery.

[@bonniestarrmandell-rice9047]

How did you manage it? When you tuck under the third one, are the ends going between the third wrap (which is not over your thumb but just around the forefinger?) and your thumb? Or do they go between the third wrap and the two pieces of yarn already wrapped round your thumb? And should the new yarn be held on the outside of your thumb or the side near your fingers? I am not having any success with this! Thanks for your help

[@Justeace]

OMG! I've never seen this before and I got it on my first try. I will be using this all the time. Thank you.

[@bonnierobinson9124]

Easy Peasy! Thanks for this

You. Are. Brilliant.

[@julies5515]

This is perfect. Fixing to start a new skein. It is same color of yarn I am currently using. I am not great at weaving in the ends. I like this method.

[@mariejoseehuot9309]

Thanks.. it works and I will save so much time 🎀

[@lindamcneely]

I wanted to thank you so much for showing this technique. I use it all the time now!

[@kaypeele2904]

I wish I had known about this technique years ago! Saving for future reference in case I forget how to do it!

[@darthlaurel]

Never seen this technique! Excellent. Thank you!

[@minkaw5091]

Brand new to Loom Knitting! Couldn't figure out why the knot kept slipping - even after watching the video multiple times - pulling on the wrong string. Following directions works! Thanks :)

[@ricnjulie]

omgosh i finally did it! i've watched this on other demonstrations only to get frustrated and give up. you explained this perfectly and i did it the 2nd time around and only because i didn't give myself enough yarn at the top the 1st time

[@janlarkin4052]

This works great. Thanks for the very clear and easy to follow instructions.

[@dennaneff3261]

Finally got it. I kept missing the second loop because couldn't tell if you were wrapping and slightly lifting the finger again. But after half a dozen repeating the video, saw the second wrap was same as first but on top. Then I did a happy dance. Very strong knot.

[@designsbydivas2014]

I DID IT!!! Thank you so much. This will make my projects so much neater and professional looking.

[@pfh3133]

Wow I'll have to try that ... thanks for sharing.

[@carolinestewart532]

This is my go to every time thank you x

[@tussled1]

Amazing! I am Def going gonna trying this method. I hate how those regular tied ends look like even after being weaved then I always worry they will unweave with use and look horrible. Thank you for the great tip!

[@mimiDchi]

A new way (for me) to join yarn. Thanks!

[@shunkasmom]

omg, it worked the first time I tried it! Thanks so much for this little trick!

[@AllFreeCrochet]

Fun, right?

[@rainbowbuns278]

Ravin Gustafson

[@andramaria8041]

indeed! 4 me 2

[@orangeade200]

Ravin Gustafson nice and clear, thanks!

[@Crwn4Life]

Thanks for keeping it simple 😊 You aRe 💯 L🌻veD❣️

[@lrhernandez1196]

Took me some practice but I got it! Thank you. Love it.

[@annasullivan4946]

This such an easy trick to follow!! How wonderful of you to share with the rest of us!!! Thanks for the easy and fast way to keep crocheting!

[@carolyndorsch291]

Oh my gosh. That's all I have to say. Thanks 😊

[@knockoutessentials977]

Thank you! This is so helpful!

[@whispermeadows]

Just recently learned how to do this method. It does rake some practice and lots of patience, but it's totally worth it to learn!

[@candybarrett6538]

I tried this with 4 other video's and could not get it to work!!! I got yours the very first try!!! Thank you, thank you. No more weaving :D

[@AllFreeCrochet]

YAY! :D

[@deidraball8942]

I'm so glad I found this tutorial! Thank you so much for posting this--I'm working on a baby blanket and this works beautifully for joining new skeins! I hope to try this when I work on garments as well--thanks again!

[@wvalohaful]

Thank you. With practice, I was able to do it. Great method!!

[@shelleycallahan3319]

thanks!! I've been wanting to try this but couldn't find this technique anywhere. thanks for posting!

[@jennyallan8794]

Thank you so much ! I'm so happy I found this tutorial ❤ I'm knitting a shawl using oddments of yarn and joining new balls is a pain , here goes ,...... 😊❤

[@talieeyadavis4594]

Thank you for this . I must have gotten a bad batch of yarn and it was full of knots throughout so I had to cut parts of the knots . This has saved my project . Thanks again

[@demonhunter4423]

Thank you. Took a few tries but finally got it. :)

[@lynettediaz9430]

That is a wonderful technique. I was trying the russian join, but not doing it very well, then I saw your video and within a minute or two I did it. Thank you.

[@tongeeb46]

Wow! This is amazing. It took me a few times (3 or 4). Lol. But when I got it was wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[@AllFreeCrochet]

No problem!

[@hugonaude1734]

Wow! Thanx a 1 000 000!

[@dtomasi5197]

Excellent example as precise direction works like a charm

[@shortcake180]

Thank you so much. I truly loathe weaving, so I'm always looking for ways to avoid it. Love this trick. You're right in that it not noticeable in the stitch. Yay!

[@iriselba3027]

thank you this was a life saver

[@vickiturner9392]

WOW !!! I just tried it on Moda Vera ( so sick of the joins 5 so far) & it worked first time.. Thank you so very much for sharing !!!

[@daughtersofzion6072]

I love you!!! You're great - this worked perfectly!! lol

[@cheyennehudson8689]

Amazing! thank you for simplifying my life!

[@sandelehfrancis9977]

The hardest part for me was to get the first loop far enough down my thumb so I could make the 2nd loop stay on my thumb, too. I managed to make a good knot the very first time, tho! Hurray! You da bomb!

[@clairenortham]

This is a great technique, thanks so much for sharing! I was worried that the velvet yarn I’m working with would be too slippery, but it worked like a charm. You can’t even tell where it is once the knot was woven in the later stitches.

[@Jensters]

Took me a few times....and i didn't......and its brilliant thank you so much for sharing :)

[@Gia13Nashville]

Took me a few trys but it worked great...I like this technique ...

[@adrinem4513]

Wow! That worked beautifully! Thank you so much!!🥰💐

[@tammage4133]

Thanks so much! Got it first go

[@florencemitri952]

Easy and concise. Thank you so much.

[@melainegouws1200]

Thank you after a few views and reviews I did it. :)

[@DanaModel1017]

Wow! Works great, thank you

[@donnamellow746]

Life saver!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@mireillekulisz8530]

I saw your KZbin just at the right time. Trying it today! Yey!
