Frugal Knitting/Crocheting And The Magic Ball

This blog will be used to store useful knitting ideas that I come across so that I can use it for future reference and share it with fellow knitters and crocheters. Remember how I have this sudden craze for mixed colored yarns? Well I googled and found something exciting.

There is hope for leftover yarn! Yarn is expensive in our country and I hate to see it all wasted even when I am left with just a few inches of yarn. Now I know you don't have to throw it away. There is a way to join the yarn to form a mixed ball of yarn! Hooray! And this technique is called creating a magic ball! It can be used for both knitting and crocheting.

My concern now is how to join the yarn together without seeing a bumpy knot between your work. I found some interesting knots but I have yet to try it. It's a good thing that I haven't thrown my bits of yarn yet. I still have them in a knitted bag stashed somewhere. I haven't figured what I would knit with it though. I welcome ideas.
