how do I attach a new yarn to my knitting project without having an ugly knot?
106362
When you are joining a new yarn, you might make a knot, but it will go away.  Here's what I do...I cut the old yarn and tie a knot with the new yarn around it.  Then I knit with the new yarn.  When I am done with the project, I undo the knot and weave the ends into the material. That way it won't come undone and the join is seamless. \n\nAnother way is to knit a few stiches with both yarns held together(the new and the old). Drop the old yarn and keep knitting with the new yarn. After you knit a few more rows, cut the tails that are left hanging from this join.  Then as before, weave the tails into the work.\n\n\nHappy knitting!

Take the braided hair and place the end of it in the middle of a hair pin. (About three or four inches from the bottom of the braid) (Make sure you use the thin, bendable hair pin, and not the hard bobby pin) Place your beads over the end part of the bobby pin, opposite the curved end. You may need to bend the curved end of the hair pin just a little more so that the beads can fit over it. (Make sure the braid isn't too thick or this won't work. If you have thicker braids, you'll have to use bigger beads.) Start out with just a few beads on the hair pin at a time until you get the hang of it and can pull more through...Place the end of the hair pin that has the beads on it in between your fingers. Take your other hand and hold the end of the beads (the beads closest to your finger holding the hair pin) and pull! Voila.\n\nProblem solved:)

Sure if the material is strong, there's a good thread count, and the knot is good. Make sure you anchor it properly to a heavy and solidly placed object.\n\nOh, rolling it up. Good suggestion, Dave.

everything else is a single unit that is textured. Hair is multiple units that are relitively untextured. When you tie hair in a knot, not all of the hairs have something to pull against. When you tie a rope, the rope is caught by itself and stays, but the hairs in the middle fo the knot are really just being curled around a bit, but dont have anything to bite into to keep them like that, they just slide right past each other. a knot needs to lock around itself to stay and there are just too many hairs not doing that for you to be able to tie your hair up like that.

Most tailor or alteration shops will do the small numbers for about $3 each, the large numbers for $6 each, and the name for about $4.\n\nIf you want to DIY, then get maroon and blue (if it's an away sweater, then white) heavy nylon thread.  This stuff kinda looks like 12 lbs test and you can find it at Wal-Mart or Joann's.  It'll take a while, but go around everything twice.  If it's something you'll only wear twice a month, then one pass should do the trick.\n\nIf you're all thumbs, then get some fabric glue.  As long as you don't wash it in hot water, it shouldn't come off.\n\nLet's go WI-LD!!\n\nGood Luck

I wasn't sure if you wanted a pattern or one that was already made. I couldn't find a pattern anywhere, so I hope that this helps. I found a website of someone who makes afghans to order. I would contact her and find out if she could make one. Hope this helps

a bowl of water, a cork magnet tape and a sewing needle.\n\nFill the bowl with water. Take the needle and rub it on the magnet back and fouth for a long period of time 15 min will about do it. After you are down take the sewing needle and take it to the top of the cork. Take the cork and needle combo and place the cork bottom side in the water. \n\nIf you move the bowl the needle will move.

Where the webbing goes into the back of the buckle- the buckle 'hinges' there. Open the flap and pull the web through to get a snug fit- leaving some slack to grow with.\n\nCut off the excess, then I always dipped mine in thinned white glue to minimize unravelling.

I found a lot of stuff just surfing the web.  Type into search "easy jewelry instructions" or something to that nature.  Also, Hobby Lobby has some good books with eash instructions. Try some of the projects that look intimidating.  I found that I could make some really neat stuff and it got easier as I did it.  Have fun!  :)

it is very simple ,just make sure that all the eyes on the rod are aligned making sure that the joints are tight but do not force the sections together as they are nearly impossible to seperate if forced together,attach reel to handle and start to thread line through rod rings but make sure line is around bale arm and line will rerieve to reel when wound in if you do not do this then whole rod will have to be re-threaded,when line is out of top ring you can then attach float and weights and hook,hope this has helped,any more questions do not be afraid to ask

There are various things you can use. Try CDs, toy wheels, cotton reels...\n\nLook for objects with low 'rolling resistance' and a large diameter. This will help it go further. Good luck!

Pull the whole string out. Attach a safety pin to one end then work the safety pin through to the other side, pulling the string as you go. Tie bigger knots on the ends of the strings to avoid this in the future.
