I usually spit splice or Russian braided join. But tonight I’m knitting a linen market bag with a yarn that has a helix twist to it. I panicked for a nanosecond when I ran out of my first skein. Then I sighed in relief knowing that Staci would come to my rescue! Thanks once again for you knitting encyclopedia brain! 🤗

Hi dear, i enjoyed you videos very much and learned a lot of techniques in working tricot ... but i got a problem ... i worked a pullover jacket long sleeves for my friend, but the sleeves from underneath the arm is toooooooo big (circular opening). i always work pullovers and jacket "raglan" to fit the size and to shorten time and effort. Have you any idea how can i fix this. Thanks in advance. Neveen

From what you've described, I don't think there is a way to fix this without reknitting the sleeves. I recommend contacting the pattern designer for assistance.
@madabbafan4 жыл бұрын
Looking at knitting a baby blanket using acrylic yarn (got quite a lot of the same colour when it was on offer) so spit splice is out. When joining a new ball would you advise this method or the Russian join? Both seem to be fairly secure naturally it needs to be washable etc.

@tanyabriggs89697 жыл бұрын
You know for the life of me I can't figure out why 1 small ball of sock yarn can have the yarn KNOTTED about 3 times! Not talking about a accidental knot but 2 ends of yarn knotted!! What do they use, ends of yarn to make a ball of sock yarn? And of course the knot tends to be in areas I don't want a knot like the turn heel or the ball of the foot. SOOOO I end up cutting yarn and joining at a less inconvenient place. Which is how I came to this video. LOL!
@TabithaCarroll7 жыл бұрын
Love your videos and this one is great. Can't wait to give it a try. Does this work with all types of yarn (cotton, acrylic, etc)? I have a pima cotton/model blend that I'm using for a baby blanket and would love to join yarn this way.
@sarahtroupe23304 жыл бұрын
i was curious about that as well, acrylic seems to be a bit slick of a yarn, and knots usually come loose in the wash, so will this particular knot hold acrylic (especially caron simply soft)?
@mysteryglo7 жыл бұрын
I guess I did it wrong because I used this on one of my projects and after a few rows past it, it started to come undone! Luckily, I am a loose knitter so was able to re-tie the ends.. I don't think I will risk it again..
@mysteryglo7 жыл бұрын
I really thought that is how I idid it.. Does it matter if the working yarn is facing left and the new yarn facing right? I think that may have been the way I had mine.

You will have to test it out for any given yarn - I've seen it work well on all types of yarn, but I'm sure there are yarns that are too slippery to tightly hold the knots.
