Spit Happens

So I was happily knitting my multi-directional scarf, when---AAAAAARGH! Rogue plies escaping from the bulky yarn.

Not a disaster. It's just annoying. Easy to take care of using what knitters elegantly call the spit splice. First apply spit--or, in this case, 100% natural NYC tap water. Really--no spit will be seen on this blog.

Next, rub away. The friction and the heat will felt the pieces together.

VOILA! Donezo! I felted a couple of inches of the rogue strand with the yarn and cut off that fluffy bit.

That stain on the couch isn't a stain--it's just spit. . . uh, water.
