I put safty pins every 10 stitches and Did an over cast, lining up one loop from strip one and one loop from strip 2.  Make sure you make your strips the same length or you will have trouble, like I did.  Pin the whole blanket together, before starting to sew it together.  You might find every 5 stitches, easier.  When starting, I went over my tail for a few stitches, 5 or more.   Put both cast on edges togetherWhen lining up your stitches.  You want your edges to match.  
Hope this helps.  I have done it only once and had to double up on some of my stitches, because my count was off.  Since my weave on the loom was tighter on one, for some crazy reason, the doubling up, was hardly noticeable, unless you really looked for it.  Only I knew it existed!!!
