[Nfb-krafters-korner] Massive knot in yarn

[NCBootman]

Hi Angelina,

I am also a crocheter so have experienced the very thing you are 
experiencing lol. There are two ways to solve this. First, you asked if it 
is better to roll a skein into a ball. Well, it depends. I like the 1 pound 
skeins for some projects and that would make one great big ball. And, I like 
the convenience of using from the inside of the skein since it doesn't roll 
away like a ball can. But, there is the drawback of the innards getting in a 
mess.

If you can find the other end of your yarn, start untangling bit by bit and 
rolling into a ball so when you eventually get done, you can just keep on 
stitching from that ball. If you can't find that other end, you may just 
have to cut your work loose and think of it as starting with a new ball of 
yarn and untangle that mess. Usually, if you get a tangle, stop and untangle 
as soon as you can and it won't get as bad as it can. If I've raised more 
questions, please ask! What are you making? Single crochet is my favorite 
stitch.
