I work at a male prison and they have a Huge knitting and crochet program (through us they donated over 5,000 pieces to shelters in the past 2 years!) and they hadn't heard of this either. I was so glad to share this with them. From donated yarn, they get a lot of partial skeins of yarn so this is tremendous. Thank you so much for sharing this.

If you knit or crochet one or two stitches past the spot you want to change and then pull out enough stitches to make the weave, you will be able to see the kink in the yearn where you want to change colors and put the weave there.

You'd have to measure how much yarn each stitch takes, and then make your first loop end at exactly the right length...sounds daunting. This probably isn't the best join for switching colors.twisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258446623577451236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067414388762334889.post-13362670797514984792013-03-20T21:24:02.611-05:002013-03-20T21:24:02.611-05:00I am working on a blanket and need to make frequen...I am working on a blanket and need to make frequent changes of color, but how do I do this so I can control where the joins are?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711031086047276855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067414388762334889.post-26112329509266626782013-02-27T09:30:24.193-06:002013-02-27T09:30:24.193-06:00Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. ...Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge.
