Adding 2nd Skein - Hawkeye ShiBui

I avoid knitting in ends as much as possible.  When working in the round, it is especially nice to add a new yarn with a 'knitting in' method. (future blog post as I can find no videos or pictorials to explain my method)

But sometimes for the good of the work, that just won't do.  For this infinity scarf, I took that approach.  When there was about 4 inches of black yarn left, I set it aside and picked up the next ball, and continued in pattern.
Infinity Scarf in black and gold, one third complete. Black and gold infinity scarf approximately 3" wide.

When my knitting is finished (although with this project, I could do it at anytime) I will go back with my yarn needle and weave in the ends.

As the black yarn doesn't lend itself to tutorials, I didn't try to post pictures of the join, but I still wanted to show my progress on the scarf.
