Adding a second skein of yarn when I am still working with the first skein of yarn and is still attached
by Sarah
(Ottawa,Canada)
My instructions are to:
work in pattern across 74sts, cast on 6sts;for right shoulder,join second skein of yarn,K6,P1. Work rem sts in pattern 80 sts on each side. (note:work both shoulders at same time using separate skein for each shoulder.
I have gotten to the point where I cast on 6sts, but I am not sure how to add a second skein of yarn when I am still working with the first skein of yarn and is still attached without adding anymore stitches?
Totally Confused
YOUR ANSWER
Basically what you are doing is starting to knit the two sides as separate pieces from this point.
The original skein of wool is used to knit the first side, and you join the second skein of wool to the second side. So for each row, you are knitting one row on each piece.
