Knitting Tips

Savannahchik Knits is asking for knitting tips. Quite a few really great tips have been submitted. I need to try this Russian join that everyone’s talking about. It’s turning up in more places than polonium-210! (That’s a little KGB joke for ya there.) And of course there’s this great money-saving tip:

I own many dangly beaded stitch markers that are fun to use and almost can be considered knitting ‘jewlery’. However, I have found that when I’m lace knitting my yarn seems to catch on everything: row counters, stitch markers etc. So to help with that problem I tie little markers made from scraps of sock yarn or lace yarn. My yarn doesn’t catch on them and if one slips off the needles it doesn’t fall into the couch cushion – it sticks to the knitting. No more looking for dropped stitch markers.

EDIT, 12:16PM: Two variants of the Russian join can be found at Eunny’s and the Boy who Knits.
