Carrying yarn is great when your stitches are tight and hides the unused yarn. Instead, you can cut the yarn and start it again where you need it. Or you can use multiple balls of the same color, depending on your graph. Hi Dawn, if your unused color shows through, I wouldn’t carry it in your work.

You can tie your yarn if you think it will make it more secure, but you don't necessarily have to. It's totally up to you :) Yes, you weave the yarn into your work or you can carry it in the work.

I make hats and have been pretty limited to one color. My aunt tried to explain changing colors but I couldn't quite grasp it. I'll have to give it another shot after this.

Or you can carry the old color in your work as shown at the bottom of this tutorial. Fay, after you change your colors, simply weave your old color into your work.
