I've already bound off and want to add a border in another color. Can I just use the tail of the first color (tying a slip knot)?

If you mean a border that goes all the way around something like a blanket or a tablecloth, that gets pretty tricky once you're done. I even learned to do a couple of simple crochet stitches to make borders on knitted things because trying to knit a border on a blanket (etc) once it's done is so complicated.
IF you mean a border that would go just along the bottom or top of what you've made, then: absolutely! Since you've already bound off, you'll need to pick up stitches from what's already there. If you don't know how to do that, please email me by clicking on my 'name' just under that grey smiley box over there. I can explain it more if you need it.

in case you do no longer desire to have the distinctive tails to weave in, carry the replace colour up the ingredient the place you replaced colorations & capture it each and every couple of rows in the final stitch of the row. this could supply one edge of your piece a mixed colour border that seem alluring & is, for sure, two times as thick because of the fact the different ingredient, in spite of the undeniable fact that it does help steer clear of the weaving in. basically ascertain you do capture it each and every 2 or 3 rows so as that it could no longer stretched out and determine you do no longer pull tight while switching colorations so as which you do no longer misshape the piece. Being a sprint one blanket, it is somewhat helpful to to handle the weaving in yet this could be a good option.

Yes, that would work fine, although I'd use a square knot.

yes you can, just make sure the bit you tie it to is short enough to land in the right place so that it blends in.
