Yarn joins on the Circular Sock Machine

Описание: I present some secure methods of joining two yarn ends both while the work is on and off the CSM.

The project on the CSM is a scrappy scarf using a 96-slot cylinder. I've left two needles out on either side so that I can latch hook every third row up after the scarf is off the machine to add a bit of interest in an otherwise plain stockinette piece.
