The instructions on this pattern say "Break yarn."

Do I just leave it loose? Do I tie a knot or something with the new
color I am starting with? ?????

I really did try to search the net and haven't found anything cut and
dried. I see things about joins, but it says *nothing* about a join in
the instructions, to wit: "Work 10[12, 14, 16, 18] rows in reverse
stockinette st, ending with a WS row; break yarn. Using MC, work 2 rows
in stockinette St."

So what do I do? My little blue jean cuff is getting lonely and wants
the rest of the leg to keep it company.


TIA!

Don't try to break it - you'll never do that to a decent yarn. Cut it
off (leave about four inches or so to weave in later) then start up
again with the main color yarn, also leaving a decent tail to weave in
at the proper time.

I agree with Olwyn Mary, cut it. That is what it means. You will do
fine. I have ran into that word used for cut before. Then, as Olwyn
Mary stated, "continue with the other color".

We do not want to here about stupid questions, we all have questions to
ask. If you don't, you are not challenging your self. Please check in
often and leave a picture.

Hugs & God bless,

Amen, and well said Dennis. I've always maintained that there is no
such thing as a 'stupid' question. Some answers are just more obvious
than others.

And then following a different definition, there are those questions
that are not honest ones -- that is, the person who asks is not truly
and sincerely wanting your answer, whatever it may be.
