I always have a hard time keeping the yarn ball steady while knitting. Turn out my cats plays with my yarn ball because it rolls around the room as I knit - which is NOT GOOD! Saw some tutorials on doing a center pull yarn ball and it is super easy! And here you go.
 |
| 1. Take your needle, or a stick of any kind, tie a knot around it, leaving a 4-5 inch tail. |
 |
2. Leave a little space and start wrapping your needle with yarn.
(The reason to leave some room between the tied knot and where you start wrapping is so that you can easily find the tail after you're done) |
 |
| 3. Keep wrapping in different directions. You can turn the yarn ball around and wrap it in many angles to create a "rounded" ball. I stayed close to the edge of the needle/stick because it's easier to wrap. |
 |
| 4. Untie the knot and take the yarn ball out. [Or do the opposite]. And there you go. A nice rounded yarn ball with a tail from the center. |

Hope you liked this brief tutorial. I've also been thinking of what to do for my next project. Maybe some knitting. Below is one of the scarves that I've knitted a few years ago. It is a double sided two-tone scarf. Some of my friends have been asking me to do a tutorial on it so maybe I'll start a new one. :) Stay tuned!
