Managing knots in Ruffle Scarf Yarn

If you are a regular knitter you're probably familiar with the dreaded knot and this even occurs in the most expensive yarn.  So how would you handle a knot in a ball of scarf yarn?  It's happened to me on a number of occasions and I have used the following method to weave in the join.

Firstly you need to undo the joined yarn and neaten off the ends if necessary.  Fold the two ends over each other, overlapping by a couple of inches, and then continue with your scarf as if you were knitting with one strand. Once you have completed the next couple of rows the join is camouflaged by the overlaying ruffles.  
Or, you can also sew the two ends together with a small overlaying hem.

I also found this great video on Youtube by Paradise Fibers (see button below) showing a similar method of joining in the ends which results in placing the join high within the cavity of the ruffle and therefore doesn't show once the following rows are completed.

    My passion is with knitting yarn ... more like an addiction really. Any knitters in the audience will be nodding their heads and thinking about the cupboards in their home, bursting with all sorts of wonderful textures and colours, yes I'm one of those. I decided rather than fight my addiction I could continue with my indulgence of purchasing yarn, but then pass it on to other like-minded, online buyers.
