JOINING WOOL
When you have to join a new ball of wool, or replace a knot, the
Heel-less Socks Shown on page 18
simplest way is to join at the beginning of a row, even if you have to pull back
a partly knitted row. It is preferable, if possible, to join at a seam edge so that
the ends can be neatly darned into a seam when the garment is sewn up.
