A perfect way to start a new strand

In our weekly meeting of the Phrancko Sweater Knitters, Sumner introduced us to a new way to start a new strand of yarn. He learned it from this video by Debbie Abrahams:    • How to Knit Intarsia   I am so thrilled to learn this technique because it is simple and quick and doesn't leave loose, floppy stitches, knots, or double stitches. I think it is the perfect way to join a new strand of yarn. Thank you, Debbie Abrahams, for showing us this technique and thank you, Sumner, for noticing that it can be used simply to start a new strand of the same color and for bringing it to our attention. Update: This technique is great for holding the two ends in place while you are creating the fabric. It keeps the stitches tighter so you don't have to keep tugging them to close up the hole. However, I have found that when I go to weave in those ends, it works best to pull each end free of the trapping yarn before weaving it in with duplicate stitches, as one should. It just helps the join be completely invisible on the front.
