How to Join Two Strands of Yarn Without Making a Knot

Weaving in loose ends is my least favorite part of any project.  I want to spend my time knitting, not on the boring finishing details!  Recently I have worked on some knotless techniques for joining pieces of yarn together.  These methods, the Russian Join and the Felted Join, not only secure two ends of yarn together without a knot, but they completely eliminate any loose ends to weave in once you've completed the project!  Watch the videos below to find out how to do these two techniques.
