Im doing stripes for the first time on a sweater. Should i break the yarn everytime i switch colors? Any tips?
Switching colors
You can carry the unused yarn up the side. This video is for knitting flat; if you’re working in the round it’s similar but then you might want to do something about color jogs.

If I don’t want to carry the unused yarn for umpteen rows and I don’t want to cut it yet I just drop it then when I’m ready to use it again leave the long strand on the side to cut later when I’m more confident I’m not going to frog. I still have two ends to weave in but I don’t end up with little bits of yarn if I decide I don’t want to continue with what I’m doing. It looks odd to have the connecting strand but I mostly can ignore it until cutting time arrives.
