Review: Interweave Knits Spring 2009

Knitting Technique: Splicing - To plaice, untwist about 4 inches from the ends of both the old and the new yarns. Take half of the plies from each and then twist them together. Continue your knitting with the twisted yarn, working in the loose ends later. Splicing forms an invisible join that can be used anywhere on a row, no bulk, no knots.
