The Jogless Join - How to Alternate Skeins without a Seam when knitting in the round

There were so many questions on this video I filmed a video answering as many as I could!
• Helical Knitting FAQ!
FAQ’s
1. This will only work when knitting in the round, with dpns or circular needles. This will not work for knitting flat pieces. Just carry the yarn up the side.
2. This will not work with wider stripes. This is a tutorial for blending similar skeins together. It works well for single stripes but NOT for thicker stripes. You will get a float on the back of the wotk if you use this method for thicker stripes.
3. The sweater Im wearing is the Pavement Sweater. You can by the pattern here : www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...
Thanks for watching! I hope it was clear enough!
The yarn I am using is Babbles Yarns Delicious DK and the colourways are “Sin” and “The Same Moon”
Im knitting on a 4mm needle

This is without a doubt the best method. I am so thankful you posted this video because all the other videos seem to show the other method and yours works best. I did this on a sweater I made & lived that it didn’t have a seam inside from twisting the two yarns. Thanks.

OK, sorry about the mess but my head just exploded! This is a game changer for me because I wanted to start, finally, a Cardigan for my self and knew I would be using a yarn that had to have alternating skeins. I've almost finished one for my Hubster but didn't need to alternate skeins. And now I have no excuse not to start one for me, except for picking out a pattern. Thank you so much for this tutorial, and yes we love your Babbles too! You are a Darling. You dish out pretty sage advice for someone so young. Jan B.

Hi Grace! I love this tutorial! I know just the basics in Knitting. I've only attempted to knit tiny projects such as hat and sweater sets for newborns. I was pleased with my work. I am a crocheter but have become a little bored with crochet and I want to try my hand at knitting. Knitting intimidates me (lol), but with teachers like you I know I can succeed in making something and completing it. Thank you for sharing and I have subscribed to your channel. I know you can be a BIG help to me.

Thank you so much for this! I was trying to make my very first sweater and I just couldn't get the switching of the yarn right so I kept knitting away but after a bunch of rows I noticed how bad that looked so I would tear back to the ribbing and then try to make it look better only to see eventually that it didn't look any better and tear back again. I finally gave up and tore it all out and went back to knitting socks. I am so excited to start that sweater again and use this method. You have just given me my knitting mojo again!
