Hey Angela from creating it and today I
was going to show you what to do when
you ah run out of yarn okay so this is
going to show you how to add in a new
ball of yarn when you run out and you
don't want to just tie a knot because
you're not can come undone and if you're
making a project that you love and
you've worked so long on it and it comes
apart that would be the worst so let me
show you how to securely add in some new
yarn and you won't have to worry about
it so I'm going to use this pink here
just to show you how it will look just
so you can see where the new yarn is
joining in so you're going to begin by
getting ready to work your next stitch
as you normally would so you just go in
but you're not going to use this yarn
anymore because you're all out so you're
going to get your other yarn and what I
like to do is create a loop like this
with a little bit of tail about that
long now take that and loop that over
the top as if it was this yarn but
you're going to loop that in here then
go through and work it just like you
would a regular stitch and let that hop
off now what you're going to do is take
that original yarn right here and you're
going to loop that over the top of those
two yarns did you see that you're going
to loop it over the top and what that's
going to do is prevent a hole from
forming and it's going to really secure
your yarn in there nice and tight so now
after you've looped that over these let
that drop and go ahead and pick these
back up so now holding both the strands
I like to do about three more regular
stitches holding both strands just to
kind of secure everything so I'll show
you here so go ahead and work those
together as one one
two three then what I do is after I've
worked those three let this one drop and
now just pick up that long strand right
here and you're ready just to continue
your work as you normally would so
sometimes you might have to hold that
one down a little bit at first and then
there you go and you can just continue
working just like so and you can see
where we've joined in now what you want
to remember is that when you get to the
end of your row and you come back to
work these stitches again you're going
to notice that where you held those two
strands together make sure you don't
work those separately because you'll end
up increasing and adding more stitches
where you shouldn't have any so when you
get here work these as if they're one
stitch just like you would these so this
would be one this one right here would
be one and that would be one so just
make sure you remember that when you go
around and you get to working these
again so that's it and that's how you
join in a new ball of yarn and you can
see on the back here you're going to
have your tails from the yarn that you
worked just at the end of your project
just make sure to weave these in and
they may loosen up while you're working
so just give them a little tug till they
look natural on the other side and that
should be fine and just weave those in
at the end and that's it that's how you
join in a new ball of yarn so if you
have any questions you know feel free to
ask me in the comments below and just
keep practicing this and you'll get it
and have fun with it
