When you wrap the yarn at the beginning, wrap it around your little finger and thumb in a figure 8 shape, making sure no loose ends end up in it.

Advice

Keep the ball of yarn in a bowl or plastic bag to keep it from rolling around on the floor as you knit.
Always untie the knots;Don't pull too hard that it creates a knot if you can avoid it.The looser the mess to untie, the easier it will be to create the ball.
The tension or elasticity of the thread, and of your project, depends on how loose or tight your ball is.If the thread is wound very tightly it will lose all its elasticity.Then your project may feel tense and rough, instead of fluffy and soft.If you wind too slowly, the ball may unravel.
You should insert a finger or two between the ball of yarn and the new “turns” removing them as you twist the ball of yarn to wrap in another spot.This will prevent the yarn from being wrapped too tightly and losing elasticity.
Each time you cut the thread, you will create ends that will need to be clamped FIRMLY, not only to the ball of yarn, but also to your project.There's nothing worse than dangling threads to show off your beautiful work.
If you reach a very knotted point, you can simply cut the thread and start over.
