Russian join!

Yarn is Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted.

I also want to try the surgeon's knot and the weaver's knot.

You have been requesting more clothing photos here, so I want to show you my latest project. This is a gift for my mother, and I'm trying a new nålbinding technique where you braid the edge. I learnt it from this blog (, and decided to give it a go.

Kintaat minulle. Mittens for me. Näin kuvan neulakinnastekniikalla tehdystä lettikoristeesta kintaissa. Oli aivan pakko kokeilla, miten se

This is the second new technique I try with this project. The other one is called Russian join, which is a technique used to join two ends of yarn together. Usually, with nålbinding, you splice the ends togehter, but that is not always possible (like with this yarn, for some odd reason - it is 100 % wool and not superwash, so theoretically it should work, but it doesn't 🙄 ).

So, anyway, all in all, I'm quite happy with it, despite the smaller mistakes I made. But then again, a friend told me that the Irish say that all handmade projects need to have some small flaws. You usually put your heart and soul into making them, and the flaws allow it to get back out 😉

How to Russian Join Yarn in 7 Easy Steps

Hate weaving in ends? The Russian join is an excellent technique for attaching a new skein of yarn or for changing colors. Best of all, it creates a secure join, so you can keep crocheting or knitting without worrying about yarn ends!

. . .speaking of fail attempts, for the forest breeze tee, I tried a russian join rather than knotting the ends together when I hit the end of the first skein for the shirt in progress.

It . . . didn't go well. I took several shots at it, but that was the best I got - and then when I was testing it, at first it held together, and then after several tries it did come apart.

I knotted the ends instead, though that wound up with a fantastically bad place for it, too - at the centre just below the bottom of the vee neck. (But I'll be frogging that, so. . . And perhaps I'll cut that knot out and try to do a smoother knot if not a different join.)

I think part of it was that the needle I had to hand (I wasn't at home when I was doing it) was not small enough - it's almost if not actually as thick as the yarn.
