WEAVING IN ENDS

[TheKruegercrew]

This is a much simpler and nicer way to weave in ends than I was taught! Thank you for all your videos.

where can you buy the crohet hooks?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@bluengreen64

you can buy crochet hooks at lots of places....yarn stores, crafts stores, on line. also, look in thrift shops.

Your videos have been the easiest to understand by far! I have little knitting experience but have managed to make a baby blanket with a main colour and four contrast colours in stripes with your help. I am unsure however as to what to do after I have finished a contrast colour and need to cut the yarn. Do I just leave a long tail and weave in the end as above (these will end up being the ends that you need to knot in the video)? Am i correct to assume that you cannot weave as you go?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@Neenamou

yes, once you have finished with a color cut and leave enough to weave in as shown.

thanks for writing and glad you like the videos. please keep watching. new ones are posted often and please look for me on facebook too.

So the ends you're able to just cut off were the ones that were knitted in 3 times (like in the adding a new ball of yarn video), right? What resulted in the ends that you had to weave in vs. just cutting?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@mawalls2001

for instance, at the end of a row when you can't weave it in that might happen. you'll see as you knit along with more than one color on a pattern.

Hi Judy! How do you weave in ends securely when both sides of your work are going to be seen? Ex: a scarf. I'm making a striped scarf adding color like you did in your "how to add color knitting video" and have all these tails to weave in. One more question, my stripes in my scarf are 15 rows long... I've been snipping off the yarn and leaving tails to weave in. Is that the only way to do that?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

Weave them in on one side only. Next time, instead of cutting the yarn, you can pull the old color up every 2 rows, but that leaves an edge you might not like. Did you remember to use the tail of the new yarn and knit it in the first 3 stitches, then cut it? That eliminates some ends.

the headband is pretty but i dont know how to do it at all yet! but ic an make a wristband and a headband but i don't know how to weave da ends at all

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

Keep practicing and you'll get it!

[Scoochy1956]

I LOVE your videos. You are so good to explain things so simply. You make sense out of some things that seem complicated. Gift of the Gab!

[spikaia]

hi judy, im remembering how to knit and your videos help me a lot!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to do this

[hayso6969]

thanks so much Judy, I was doing something like this but not quite right. Everything you do is so easy to understand. You are a blessing!!

[agziller]

Thanks Judy! I've had to learn to do all of my knitting by myself so your videos have really made me feel like I have someone there to show my what to do!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

Glad I can help. Keep watching for new videos. I put one up yesterday. Happy knitting!

[agziller]

Thanks for the video Judy. I have read that you shouldn't "knot" the yarn when weaving in but I see that you give it a quick knot. What is the problem of knotting it? Am I reading the instruction wrong? Yours seems to like great.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

I always feel that one little knot won't hurt anything and makes me feel more secure, especially if it's something that's going in the washer. Just don't make a big nasty knot that will be noticeable

Keep looking for more new videos. I try to put a new one up every week and did yesterday.

Happy knitting..

[ashgeraldine]

im new also and i am scared that if i throw any of my knitted stuff in the wash they will unravel or something... this wont happen right? i dont want to lose anything =(

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

It won;t happen if you have woven in the ends and/or knitted them in as I have shown in many of my videos about adding color. You could always hand wash, or put the stuff in a bag or pillowcase to wash in the washer. good luck!

[desertrose6785]

Don't put anything woolen in the washing machine, it could end up felted! O_O

[mtpurl8]

Very helpful instruction! Thanks

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

thanks for your comment. Please keep watching for more new videos.....happy knitting.

[tinkinblue]

Hi Judy, just curious, what were you making in this project?

Thanks, love your videos!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

I wasn't really making anything. I use the same piece to demonstrate most of my videos and just keep adding to it so I was weaving the ends in on the part I had used for one of the fair isle videos.

Glad you like the videos.  More coming soon.

[KWalsh554]

I'm kind of a new knitter, so I've got a, probably, dumb question, but why does it have to be the same color? If you weave it through another color will it show on the front of the work?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

yes.  You got it!

[RectPropagation]

Well that's a lot faster than what I've been doing! I'll have to try this when I reach the end of my next project.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

hope it worked for you!
