Thank you for this great tip! I’ve tried many different joins, and this one is the best in terms of ease, effectiveness, and security. And your instruction and video were clear and well-paced. So glad I found you!
This method is very useful, thank you very much for showing this!! I found one that is very useful too that I have been using lately with good results, so now I can compare these two!
I'll be very grateful if you could share the results of your comparison with me. It is always fun to find out which way is better / easier / faster. Thank you :-)
You can use this method when you work in any stitch pattern. The idea is the same - [knit or purl 1 stitch with the new yarn, then knit or purl the next stitch with the old yarn], work the brackets twice and continue to work on your project using the new yarn. Happy knitting :-)
I need to try this! I use the Russian join but it doesn't always work well because as I knit, the tails start to unravel a little and then I'm left trying to tuck in tiny nubs of yarn. Thank you for showing this technique!
You are very welcome :-) Here's a tutorial that explains how to hide tiny yarn tails - www.10rowsaday.com/weavein-short-tails I hope you'll find it useful whenever you decide to use the Russian join again. Happy knitting!
Excellent technique...so simple and clear and easy to follow Thank you! Question though, will the added yarn and tail become loose and come out over multiple times of wearing the sweater?
I haven't tested it, but I think it depends on the yarn. If the sweater is made with wool or cotton, the knot will stay put. If it is a slippery fibre like rayon, silk or acrylic, it is possible that the knot will come loose.
Thank you, Tracy :-) I haven't found any downsides yet and yes, it is a good way to join any kind of yarn, just make sure you weave in the tails properly when the project is finished. Happy knitting!
Happy New Year🎉🥳Thank you for the tip to join new yarn in the middle of the row. Is it possible to do this at the beginning of your next row? Or if you're changing colors? I asked because I want to do an infinity scarf with three different colors🧶TIA
Thank you for the greetings, Yvonne :-) Yes, you can use this method to attach a new ball of yarn in any part of a row or round. The join will not show if you attach yarn in the same colour, but it will be visible if you attach a yarn in a different colour. In these situations, it is better to use one of the ways described in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/attach-new-color Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday thank you...and I appreciate the"visual learner" section. I'm a lefty and seeing it makes it easier to do it😊I also subscribed to the newsletter. I'm looking forward to great 🧶tips👍This is one time scrolling knitting videos paid off...BIG TIME🥰
You won’t need to weave in at the end. When you use her technique you are in effect weaving as you knit. Saves from having to weave tails. See the back of her piece; she will just cut the yarn as it has been woven in as she knitted.
Yes, Ingrid. You need to weave in the tails when the project is finished. I didn't do it in my little swatch because I wanted to show you where the yarn was joined.
a new knitter here! Very helpful, but what happens to the two short tails that are left (of the old yarn) after youve finished please? the two that are left on the wrong side? Thanks
You can weave them in or trim them. If you work with woollen yarn, it is safe to trim those ends leaving small tails. They will felt in when you start to wear this project. For other types of yarns, it is safer to hide the tails inside the fabric. Happy knitting, Angela :-)
Hi Melanie. This method works well for either side of the work. If you join the yarn on the wrong side of the work, keep the yarn tails at the front of the work. Happy knitting :-)
As always, beautifully explained & demonstrated. Thank you x
Thank you, Pat :-)
Thank you for this great tip! I’ve tried many different joins, and this one is the best in terms of ease, effectiveness, and security. And your instruction and video were clear and well-paced. So glad I found you!
Thank you, Jane :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you so much! So simple but effective. Your tutorials are teaching me so much.
Thank you, my friend :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you! I knew there had to be a better way than a knot! Especially when using thicker yarns :)
You are most welcome, Darlene :-) Happy knitting!
I thought I'd invented this years ago ... And then thought it wasnt "ok" so stopped. I'm so gad you posted this. Roses
You are a very talented knitter, Rose. Keep inventing new and better techniques. We all need them :-)
This is the version I’ve been looking for. Thanks sooo much Maryna
You are most welcome, Mary :-) Happy knitting!

This is such a great tip, thank you! It will be a game changer for when I'm making scrappy socks!
Thank you, Liliane :-) I'm so glad you like this clever method. Happy knitting!
Thank you - simple but effective - I don’t know why I have never thought of it😀

Thank you :-) I agree - this solution is ingenious. Happy knitting, my friend!
Great way to join yarns! Thank you for the tip.
You are very welcome, Nancy :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you for your awesome videos...can you please demonstrate this method with purl stitches?
You can use this method when you work in any stitch pattern. The idea is the same - [knit or purl 1 stitch with the new yarn, then knit or purl the next stitch with the old yarn], work the brackets twice and continue to work on your project using the new yarn. Happy knitting :-)
Game changer 🙌 brilliant
Thank you, Jill :-)
Pure genius, thank you

You are very welcome, my friend :-)

This looks fantastic, thank you! Is there a downside? Is it a good option for cotton?

Thanks for this - simple and effective - do you weave in the threads then at the end? Thank you.

Yes, Ingrid. You need to weave in the tails when the project is finished. I didn't do it in my little swatch because I wanted to show you where the yarn was joined.
I usually do weave in the tails when I use this method. I find that the yarn is not secured enough to simply trim the ends. Happy knitting, Barbara!
@@10rowsaday Then would you use duplicate stitch to weave in the ends?
a new knitter here! Very helpful, but what happens to the two short tails that are left (of the old yarn) after youve finished please? the two that are left on the wrong side? Thanks
You can weave them in or trim them. If you work with woollen yarn, it is safe to trim those ends leaving small tails. They will felt in when you start to wear this project. For other types of yarns, it is safer to hide the tails inside the fabric. Happy knitting, Angela :-)
We do this on a right side row, is that correct?
Hi Melanie. This method works well for either side of the work. If you join the yarn on the wrong side of the work, keep the yarn tails at the front of the work. Happy knitting :-)
Using this method over more stitches and you don't have to weave in the strands.
