I've been known to accidentally use the tail of the yarn instead of the working yarn so maybe this will work best. We shall see.

Funny thing..I've been playing with some stuff this morning using Sz 9 Addis and two strands of skinny stuff. Really, really easy knitting but it's making my right arm ache. Weird. And gosh did they ever feel huge after using the little DPNs. And they were just size 2..if they'd been the really teensy ones I would be in real trouble now LOLSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295619596931784900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-1149645645880664992006-06-06T19:00:00.000-07:002006-06-06T19:00:00.000-07:00I had been doing this with two balls in the past.....I had been doing this with two balls in the past..but Dave told me that he pulled one from the outside and one from the inside, so I gave it a try. <BR/><BR/>What I found is that you start to tangle a bit, but they you also start to turn the needles the way they need to go. I am finding it much easier to use one ball. Check out the pair of socks I am doing now using that method, I just posted a picture tonight.<BR/><BR/>AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483640765158526073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-1149604067142275952006-06-06T07:27:00.000-07:002006-06-06T07:27:00.000-07:00It gets a bit tangled when you knit from both ends...It gets a bit tangled when you knit from both ends of one skein. <BR/><BR/>I would wind a second ball and use the two balls seperately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
