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.
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?
Keep practicing and you’ll get it!
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
Don’t put anything woolen in the washing machine, it could end up felted! O_O
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!
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
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!!
Glad I can help. Keep watching for new videos. I put one up yesterday. Happy knitting!
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!
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..
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.
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!
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 =(
thanks for your comment. Please keep watching for more new videos…..happy knitting.
Very helpful instruction! Thanks
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.
Hi Judy, just curious, what were you making in this project?
Thanks, love your videos!
hope it worked for you!
yes. You got it!
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?
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.
