How do you knit a striped scarf?

ZenKnitting — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:57:59 +0000

I found on a website somewhere that if you want thick stripes for a scarf you have to cut the ends and start a new color…..but my question is, Do you bind each one off and then sew them together or do you cut it off while keeping it on the needle and just continue to knit, but with a new color?

someone help.

and if you know of any good knitting sites for beginners with patterns and such, it would be appreciated!!
