I liked all of the 3 "ways" with which you approached the subject of changing yarn colors. Thank you!

[@MaryannCin]

Loved watching this video. Others were too fast until I came upon you! I actually did it perfectly! Thank you so much.

[@10rowsaday]

You are most welcome, Maryann :-) Happy knitting!

[@bullwinklettemoos1032]

I agree with Maryann Cintolo comment about a presentation that was too fast. Your pace is great and it is nice to see what it looks like after a few rows. Excellent work.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you :-)

[@rand0mbabi530]

I'm new to knitting. I want to say thank you so much to you because your knowledge and all of your tips are useful for the beginner like me. Thank you so much ma'am.

[@10rowsaday]

You are most welcome, my friend :-) Happy knitting!

[@Jandebar]

The double strand looks like the best way to go. Thanks for these tips!

[@Iloathsnow]

I am about to start knitting a new shawl with lots of colour changes and I am so happy I found this tutorial just in time. I think number 3, the "loop method" will make my life easier. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.

[@oceanecastelnau9821]

What a wonderful clear lesson and fantastic teaching!! I hope you share your teaching gift elsewhere in your life! Thank you for this. Liked and happily subscribed🤩

[@oceanecastelnau9821]

The third way is really beautiful. I love it when knitting does that❤️

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, Oceane :-) Happy knitting, my friend!

[@ElsaPride]

I think #2 is the easiest. I'm a beginner beginner..lol..so this way makes sense! Thank you for the choices!

[@10rowsaday]

You are most welcome, Judi :-) Happy knitting!

[@bullwinklettemoos1032]

Nice tutorial. Love the ease in adding a new color. Keep up the good work.

[@sallyburley]

I've only ever used the first technique, but will definitely try the other two. Thank you Maryna, for another great video!

[@phyllisloeffler9585]

I like the third method. It seems really secure. I’m a fairly new knitter. Crochet is my usual craft! Thanks for the great tips. Really well explained.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Phyllis :-) Happy crafting!

[@milkglassfairy7641]

Thank you so much for the clear instructions! My son has asked me to make him a scarf with stripes and I was struggling a lot. Now I feel confident to try again… hopefully I can do it. I don’t mind knots in my knitting haha so I think I’ll try that this time.

[@birthestevns]

I tried the last method earlier, but with a number of stitches in the double yarn. If you make too many stitches, it may be bulky. Now I will try your method. Thank you!

[@sarahbruck7538]

Thank you for all your posts. You don’t know me, but we became very good friends during the pandemic. I checked in with you nearly every day, and you helped me with so many projects and problems. You’ve taught me how to knit well, and given me the confidence to take on any project. I happened to be looking at this today, because I’m knitting serape coasters and I don’t like the color changes on the stripes. And you hit the nail on the head again. I’m using method one, but not holding the yarn tightly, so the changes look sloppy. Can’t wait to try it again!

[@10rowsaday]

My dear dear Sarah. I'm so happy that my tutorials helped you to enjoy knitting more and gave you confidence to take on various projects. It means so much to me to know that. Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I appreciate it a lot. Thank you!

[@sylviakoresh4161]

I liked the third one. You always have the best answers!

[@LadyoSun]

Thank you. This was very helpful for a relatively new knitter. I am now ready to add some stripes to my current project. The first method 8s the one I will use.

[@afernando689]

Thank you. 3rd will work fine with me.

[@mdowdenmiller]

I like the last option best!

Love #3 and can't wait to try it

[@chrisd487]

Will try method #3!

[@jennygornall7935]

really great video and very clear! Thankyou !!!

[@KathyStadnicki]

Nice and clear directions 😂

[@glittle1000]

#3 is favourite would probably be best for socks smoother but I would also use #2 if it's a hat. Thanks!

[@susanlucero3530]

I like way #3, but I am wondering how to do it if it's at the start of a row. Perhaps in the round won't present a problem hihi. I should try it first and see for myself. Thanks again, my-go-to knit queen :)

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Susan, for the royal title LOL :-) If you want to use the third way to attach the yarn at the beginning of a row, make the interlocking loops before the last stitch of the previous row. Then work the last stitch of that row with two strands of the "old yarn", pull the yarn to move the place of join to the end of the row, turn the work and work the first stitch of the new row with two strands of "new yarn". Then drop the tail and continue working on the project using one strand of the new yarn. Have fun :-)

[@kellydougall2378]

Can u do a video showing how to weave in at the end

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you for the suggestion, Kelly! I've just added this topic to my "to-do" list.

[@juliecramer7768]

Thank you!

[@missree1995]

Thank you! I was doing the first method and thought I was doing something wrong because I had holes! But I fixed them later. I think I'll try the other two methods to see if I like them better.

[@10rowsaday]

Because the yarn is not secured when we use the first method, the strands will become loose. It is easy to fix when we hide the tails. Simply pull the strands a bit to tighten them up and then weave in the tails. Happy knitting :-)

[@nancyincanada5553]

Another excellent tutorial! Thank you! Could you please do a tutorial on the garter tab cast on for shawls? My garter tabs always shape like a "hump" (not straight). I tried knitting loosely, but that doesn't help. Thank you:)

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, my dear :-) As to the garter tabs, the only tricky part is the cast on. Try using "way #1" explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/provisional-caston. It is quite straightforward, and it makes it easy to pick up stitches from the cast on edge. Happy knitting!

[@marciamoody8724]

Thank you for three excellent ways to attach new yarn. My question is when doing a color blocked scarf how do I keep the broken lines that happens when I change color all on the back side? Even though I always add it to the same side it does not work. I end up with it on the right side ever other yarn change. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Marcia. Try the method explained at www.10rowsaday.com/jogless-stripes. It is a simple and effective way to hide the jog when we change colour. Happy knitting :-)

[@tedy_bu3088]

but how do you hide the tails?

[@10rowsaday]

You can weave them in as you knit (the tutorial is at www.10rowsaday.com/weave-in) or use any way you usually use to weave in the tails when the project is finished.

[@brittanychan1725]
