Video Tutorial - Crazy Yarn Knots

Scrappy Blanket

Since I posted about my Scrappy Blanket, I've had oodles of questions about how I tie my knots in the yarn. Of course it seems so straight forward to me - I mean, they're just knots, right?

It's funny, because this is the only way I would consider making these joins... but I've heard from a number of people who are tying their knots as you would tie a double or triple knot in your shoelace...

Don't do it that way! It will take you FOREVER!!!

My method is a simple overhand knot.

It's easy, fast, and super secure...

It's not especially pretty - but that's okay - you'll be so distracted by all the sticky-outie tails in the finished project that you won't pay any attention to the actual knots.

So here it is:

My first video tutorial...

Hope it helps!
