Tying a knot may seem like a simple skill to master, but the Magic No-Ends Knot Video Tutorial will teach you how to tie a special type of knot that does not have any ends. This type of knot is perfect for a wide range of free knitting patterns. When it comes to working with yarn, it is incredibly important to be able to tie a secure knot as quickly as possible. This step-by-step video will teach you everything you need to know about this super helpful knot tying technique.

Photo-tutorial on darning. Dying art, good to learn how.

The Russian Join is a knotless join which can be done with plyed yarn (one-ply yarn won't work). This tutorial is a good balance of pictures and explanation, makes the technique very clear.

This works on feltable yarns -- that is wool, alpaca etc -- by pulling and fluffing out the ends and then felting them together. Probably works better on single-ply yarns than tightly spun plied yarns.

Take your leftover scraps of yarn, join them together with a Russian Join and make one big ball of multicolour striped yarn.

While I'm not intending to do embroidery, I do use embroidery floss for crocheting jewellery and for kumihimo braiding, so it's good to know this tip for when I don't want to use six strands at once.

Very useful yarn-joining technique. Much better than the standard square knot. Suits crochet and knitting, but not Kumihimo; the knot is still too visible.
