@knitting@fibrearts This is the inside of my sweater. I’m only going to weave in the ends that are visible (so ones near any openings). The rest will be left as they are. I’m hoping that over time, they will felt slightly. #knitting#stripes
@KatyKnits@knitting@fibrearts I've got my own weird way of doing ends. I change midrow because I don't like bump on edges, and I don't have trust in woven end alone. So I knit 1-2" past ends, then I square knot them once my tension is clear, then weave them in, in all directions (sideways, up-down, diagonally). Or, now that I'm starting to wet block, I do it after the blocking.
A new technique also - put the old end on a yarn needle, and weave that end into the new end, continue knitting.
@KatyKnits@knitting@fibrearts Stephen West has a nifty trick where he holds the last yarn end with the new color and knits them together on the row with the new color. Voila! No ends to weave in at the end.
Is your yarn all non super wash? Just curious. Bet you could just tie square knots on those ends. That is a LOT to deal with, but your end product is so beautiful!
@KarenStrickholm@knitting@fibrearts Stephen West is a bloody genius. I did knit my new colours in and knotted ends together so it will be ok. None of the yarns are superwash. There are some silks and linens in there but they were combined with sheep of various varieties.
