It's like magic! Thank you so much.

Thank you so much!!!

Nice video and technique, but not quite "invisible". The thicker place do show up. The smoother the yarn, the more this will show.

This is the best invisible join for knitting.....I thought it would be complicated but following this brilliant video was easy and I managed the join first time with no problems. Will always be using this type of join from now on. Thanks for the instruction !!

[cdanielshafer]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much!

absolutely great to discover this after 45 years of crocheting! who knew? This is especially great for the hats I make with my knifty knitter looms!!!

[kissiebooashes]

This is amazing.

When you pulled on the yarns my mind was blown.

Thanks so much for this, my sweater has been saved!

The russian join is one of my favorite joins.

Dora- yep, russian join works for lace, I have never had any problems!

[sabdin1]

oh....my....gosh.

i'm amazed. i never liked knots or simply threading through and now i don't have to anymore! i can't wait to try this!

thank you!

Very helpful! Watched another video that was completely indecipherable. Thanks.

Wonderful and very helpful....

This is really a great video - and I bet it will help a lot with anyone using acrylics, which can't really be spliced together as natural animal fibres can. Thanks a lot for this, I'm sure it will help me out a lot! I use mostly acrylic because I've found that I'm allergic to most natural fibers (which makes me sad, because some of them seem like they would be so wonderful).

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial! I'm knitting a lace shawl in superwash wool, and I was looking for a good way to join in new yarn. This was absolutely perfect. :)

[MarleneD1216]

To join the same color yarn the easiest way is a knit-in join on the RS where both strands are held together and you tightly knit with both strands for 3 or 4 stitches. Then drop the old yarn and continue with the new. You will treat the 2 strands as one st on the next row. Cut the ends to 1/4 to 1/2" so they don't pop through.

Thanks for the video - good tutorial...I'm actually working a lace shawl with pima cotton - the strand is very easily separated. What type of splice would you use for this type of yarn? Thanks - Elaine

Thank you, this was really helpful to me!

Thanks! I'll have to try this technique for the next project!

I've been trying to find videos for the Russian Join, and yours is EASILY the most clear, concise, and well thought out! Thank you so much for posting this, I have shared it on my blog so hopefully you will get a lot more hits!

[gossemerwings]

Thanks so much, your video was so much more clearer to understand than another one I watched, I was looking for a video on how to do this type of join~ specifically for lace knitting, do you think it can work without leaving too big a bulky lump? Please let me know, I'm saving your video to my favorites, have a fleecy day~ Dora :)

[klvernon82]

One of the best knitting tutorials on YouTube I've seen. So very helpful and it goes slow enough for me to stay caught up with method. Thanks!

[MarleneD1216]

Glad it was a help Dora! I don't see why the join wouldn't work for lace. I would definitely put in a lifeline a row before you join that way if it doesn't look right you can go back and try a different join and avoid having to used "messed up yarn" from the trial.

Good luck; I'd be interested in knowing how it looks with lace ;-)

[Lovedoctersar]

This was so helpful and you gave the right amount of time to explain it all, Thank you so much!

[ooman56]

Super helpful, thank you!

All these years I've spent hours weaving ends in, eeek!

[padacamg]

Very clear and helpful.

[TheShafiah]

WOW! Totally coo, soooo apreciate that, thank you. I always do it the "slopy" way and make sure the "join" stays in the back. lol Thanks again.

[JanREBEL]

I like this joint and will try it the next time I need to add yarn.....since I am not a fan of weaving in....thanks!

This clip was really helpful. Thanks ever so much!
