Either in a post or during a social craft hour, someone mentioned they didn’t tie off when making a striped project and just placed the yarn in the middle when changing colors. I searched but couldn’t find, that’s why you’re probably seeing posts from months ago popping up. While researching, I paused to make comments. Okay, I digressed a little, the person who didn’t tie off when changing colors also mentioned the little hole on top of the machine. I don’t know what it’s called but the person used it to hold the yarn. It was only after I had knit about 12 rows that I remembered (after feeling frustrated that it was becoming a hot mess). So, to the person that provided the tip, thank you very much!
