Hey everyone! This is a little tip that I hope will be helpful to you guys. You know when you're working in the round and it leaves that awful "long" stitch where your project meets? Well, in this video I show you how to fix that with one easy step. Hope this is helpful.
Thanks for coming back and watching!

Items:
1 Set of Double Pointed (or circular) needles
Yarn for project

Instructions:
Cast on normally for your project and then add 1 st.
Make sure stitches are straight and hold work as if you were going to start your first row.
Slip the stitch from your right needle, (connected to the yarn ball), to the left needle. Now take the 2nd st from your left needle and pull it over and off the needle. Slip the first stitch on your left needle back to your right needle, pull on yarn to tighten stitch.
Continue working your project like normal.
You've easily connected your work in the round seamlessly.
