Let me start by asking what's wrong with this picture?

You got it - I'm almost out of yarn and I'm in the middle of the row. How ANNOYING!!
As you can see I'm working on something new. A ripple blanket for a baby that is due in about two months. The pattern is from Attic24 and I love it. It's flowing and easy to follow and the photographed tutorial is absolutely wonderful.
Everything went well until I got to the off-white yarn. I started this part not with a new skein of yarn, but from a half used skein I had lying around (I mean, off-white color is always lying around in my studio, it's so useful!). And so, in the middle of my 6th row I noticed that I was going to run out of yarn. Lucky for me, I didn't have a problem with getting new skeins, because I have plenty of those, but I wasn't sure about the right way to introduce the new yarn into the work.
Since this problem occurred in the middle of the row I was scared of having to tie threads together in a bulky way and also was worried I'll have to weave the ends at such a visible location. I even considered ripping out the entire row until the beginning and attaching the new skein to the edge of the blanket. Lucky for me, I didn't!
