No matter how long I knit and hook – new tricks and techniques never fail to amaze me! Here comes today’s enlightenment when looking for a way to invisibly join yarn (and felting was not an option). Of course, there are several videos on the net but – proud as I am – I prefer to post pictures instead:

That’s it! Okay, you knew that all along but I didn’t. And I am so happy with it!
Look at the scarf I am working on: can you tell where one strand ends and the new one starts?
Well, I can’t – that’s for sure. And I was wondering whether you have tricks and techniques that saved you more than once and that you’d be willing to share?
