changing to new ball of wool for scarf?

Question

Hi, i am knitting a simple scarf using garter stitch and have casted on 20 stitched initially. I am nearing the end of my first ball of wool and am wondering how do i continue with the second ball?

Thanks,
A beginner knitter

Answer 1

Typically you can just start knitting with the new yarn and weave in the ends when you have finished. When i was a beginning knitter I also tied the old and new strands together to make it easier. Other joining techniques can be found on this website: http://knittinghelp.com/knitting/basic_techniques/misc.php about half way down the page. http://knittinghelp.com is a good resource in general for learning new techniques in knitting and the videos are great! Best of luck with your scarf!

Answer 2

Just tie it to the end of the first thread with a square knot and keep on knitting it will just blend in. If you don't know how to tie a square knot just look it up in go ogle or on some sight with nautical rope tying.
