Weaving Ends Simplified Plus COOL HACK! 🤩🧶

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I've had a lot of you tell me you won't touch color work because of all the ends. I hope some of these tips will help change your mind. And if any of you have a tip that really helps you with these pesky ends, please share, I'd love to know! xx

Thank you so much for actually showing how to do the magic knot at the end of the row in changing colors. That’s is exactly how instructional work should be done. I was struggling with doing it until now. I am making a lap blanket for senior citizens homes and I have lots of color changes. Be well and stay safe!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh good, I’m so glad you found it helpful! What a lovely gift you are contributing. Thank you for doing that 💕💕💕💕

[@hoosierhometeam]

Yes! This definitely makes me feel more excited about doing stripes! I have been doing the magic knot for a few years, but never thought of doing them at the end of a row that way! So smart!!

[@craftinmom]

Thank you for the magic knot! I’ve always either woven in ends or worked over them and only used the magic knot to join new yarn of the same color and always mid row. I’ve NEVER seen the trick to join at the beginning of a row to change color! Saving your video for future reference. Now I want time make something with stripes just to test it out!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@craftinmom wonderful! 😀🙌🏻🧶🪡💕

[@abbynormal4740]

Magic knots can absolutely be a game changer if the yarn weight and fiber content "play well" with them. The Russian join can also makes a secure, neat transition if you don't want any knots in certain projects (e.g., baby blanket, chemo cap, preemie cap, knitted knockers, etc.) Crocheting the tail into your work (either alternating it with the new working yarn or combined) can also work well. When those options aren't feasible, I find that weaving ends as you go (WEAYGo 😄) is well worth the up-front time and effort because doing so keeps the WIP much neater, without an increasingly cumbersome bunch of tails to work around. With WEAYGo, one is more likely to do a better quality job on each tail than having to do them all later after project burnout has set in. Also, WEAYGo provides an occasional break from marathon stitching, which can benefit the joints and muscle groups involved. Finally, as stated in the video, WEAYGo ensures that when you're done stitching, you're done with the project 👍 (aside from washing/blocking it 😉)

[@hanyeongeun]

I've always know about the magic knot but never how to position it so the colour change is perfect, thank you so much for the demonstration at the end!

[@craftinmom]

This is exactly what I came here to say!

[@1weagles]

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I've been using the magic knot for a couple of years. Been crocheting for 52 years. The tip I will be using is magic knot when tieing color changes. I love magic knots and you've taken it to another level. Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad you like the idea, thank you ! 😀🧶💕

[@AgdaFingers]

I've crocheted for 33 years, and just recently started using magic knots and finishing needles. So glad that even an expert can learn a few new things.

[@ginnyc]

When I weavein my ends, I can never stop at three! I end up thinking if three is good, then 7 is even better! I've never tried the magic ( fisherman's knot). Thanks for sharing. 💙

[@PlayHookywithMe]

[@lisakaye3935]

I will definitely be using the Rule of 3! That should save a whole bunch of “just wanna secure this bad boy” stitches 😆

Thank you, I enjoyed watching and learning. I've been crocheting since 1970. Debbie

[@1weagles]

I owe you a lifetime of thank yous. Got my Susan Bayes finishing needles. The afghan that I am making has many ends, including ends foe making corners. Never thought I would say that it's a breeze working the ens in, but it is. From someone who has been crocheting over 50 years, this is a life-changing moment.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Ohhhh, I’m so glad!!! 😀🧶❤️❤️❤️

[@stellamariss3335]

You are so right about using a needle that feels good. Nothing makes me more motivated to weave when I feel the satisfactions of pulling the needle through. I used to hate weaving in ends until I started treating as a skill in itself and make like a game.

[@tarashelton493]

I crochet over my tails, especially when doing granny squares! I’m making my collage age daughter a very colorful granny square blanket! She wants every square to be different, I’m sure y’all have seen those! Thank you for your videos, God bless🥰🙏

Hi Patti! So glad they helped, I still love them so much 🤗💕 thank you for telling me 💕

[@ashleybow]

I'm glad to learn about how to use the magic knot like this, even if I probably won't use that technique much, but I'm especially happy to have learned about finishing needles because I've been using the other needle you showed for a long time, but these seem like a better alternative for some projects. Thanks!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you , it’s a fun time saver ! 🧶💕

[@elizabethharry3659]

The only reason I don't weave in my ends as I go,is if I see an error, is easier to take out without the ends weaved in.

[@morrisdancer11]

I am always anxious when having to sew in the ends because I can't leave well enough alone. Insecure thread and insecure mind. This vid. is one of the most useful because it addresses many early mistakes which can become habits. I am ashamed to say that I cannot get anywhere near your neatness, which is amazing. and beautiful too. Thank You.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you , Vera! I appreciate you saying I have neatness . If I do, that’s just through years of slowly improving on my bad habits. You’ll be surprised at how your work looks a year from now 🙌🏻🧶💕

[@lauriemyers3]

I’m a weirdo…I love weaving in the ends. 🫣 However, I only recently started using the fisherman’s knot. I’m too scared to trim the tails off so I just crochet over them. It makes color changing so easy!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Awesome sauce!!

“I’ve found that if it feels good I’m happy to keep going and making it feel good can come in different ways.” Listen you pointed it out, not me 😂😂😂😂

[@hannahofhorror]

Also, this is why I don’t use cotton yarn. I hate weaving it.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I was editing and thought …. Rozzzz stop talkinnnnng! 🤣🤣🤣💕🧶

[@taylorlt0806]

Great info. Thank you. I no longer have ends to weave in on my projects. I figured out how to do a magic knot/Russian knot when I have to change colors or attach a new skein. I am so happy I figured it out. Now I only have the very beginning and the very end to do.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Awesome sauce !! 🙌🏻🧶💕

[@Truechildofgod]

Incase anyone is wondering about the hack at the end it definitely works and stays however you can see and feel the knot on different yarns :)

[@chrimsta1714]

I didn't know how important weaving in my ends (nor how to do it properly) was until recently, haha... But that magic knot is a game changer!! I'm looking forward to trying it out in my next project.

[@jenniferruzic1126]

Thank you! I'm just starting and have had a blanket unravel!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh no! 😮😕🧶💕

[@lidiabidia105]

I used to do this technique with the magic knot to change colors, but not so much anymore. I did it on a few blankets that I use at home frequently and within a year or so several of the knots came loose… The first time I thought maybe it was a characteristic specific to really fine merino, but it ended up happening with some of my more rustic wool and cotton items as well :( The tip you had for leaving a bit back after covering the tail with stitches to weave backwards is a great idea! I will start doing that from now on!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh damn, what a shame 😕🧶💕

[@fabulousilver]

aaaah, thought that might happen with the fisherman's knot. Never tried it myself, but just doesn't seem very secure. Specially if you wash your work regularly. It'll come undone. I also cover my tail as I go and then just leave a piece to weave it back once and back again and for extra security I double knot the old colour and new colour together, tightly to the stitch, before working both ends in together. Need to get myself canvas needles though, those look awesome.

[@mysticmoth1111]

[@PlayHookywithMe]

[@nikkistowe8837]

Oh great googly moogly I needed this hack explained exactly the way you did. I am working an alpine stitch and I have FOUR ends to weave for each row 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thank you for showing us how to “time” the knot. That will save me endless amounts of time

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful! It might take a little tweaking since tension can be different but i know you’ll find your sweet spot ! 💕💕

[@sewlouisa]

@@PlayHookywithMe yes, I got about 1/4 way through the blanket and then a lady at the knitting group I go to asked why I hadn’t woven in any of my ends! Spurred me on to get then weaved in before I add anymore.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@sewlouisa similar situation to me - I’d shared something I was working on (loads of ends un woven)and someone commented on how weaving in along the way makes such a difference and I finally listened! 😂😂😂🙌🏻🧶💕

[@sewlouisa]

@@PlayHookywithMe yes and the fact that I have found my favourite needles, the Susan Bates finishing needles makes it so much more enjoyable. I think it’s just part of the process of creating beautiful things.

[@ninalehman9054]

You must be my twin - I already decided that weaving them in as you go is the best policy. I also carry the end along whenever possible, and leave a long end so that I can weave it back in the other direction with a tapestry needle (AND I change direction twice!) I feel better knowing that I developed the same style as a pro.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yay! I love that we are twins!! 🤗💕💕👏🏻

[@yl6616]

My tip is coming from the knitting but works well for crochet too. I just work the tail with the working yarn and do 2 stitches. The stitches might be a bit thicker but no problem with dk and 4 ply. I can’t even unravel it when I do mistake and need to frog it, I have to cut it so it does work well! Work 2 stitches with the tail and simple cut it after👌

WHY did no one else ever just say THAT?! Thank you for the end weaving solutions, I had not seen some of those before, either. 😊

I’ve learned to use the Rule Of 3 rows before weaving in. This way I am POSITIVE I haven’t miscounted and it safe to go ahead and weave in. I won’t reveal how many glasses of wine, uh, times I’ve had to FROG and CUT my way back because I didn’t realize I had counted wrong. And it’s THEN you realize how good you’ve become at weaving in your ends!!! Plus it gives my hands a break at the same time.

I find a square knot is smaller than the fisherman's knot, and for me it is easier to control where the knot lands. Another thing to consider is that if you will be adding a border, the knot need not be exactly placed since even if it is a little early or a little late it will be covered by the border.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

In addition to tip #2: an easy way to thread a needle with yarn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poacnaSqd5tsi7M. Essentially, you fold the yarn over the needle, then squeeze the yarn as you pull it across, over the needle. It squishes the yarn down so it's easier to pass through the eye!

I’ve noticed those needles you use by Susan Bates, I’m in the UK and I must try and find a source of them as I haven’t seen them in haberdashery shops. I have tried knots but in my experience they often don’t stand up to wear and tear of using your project, I’ve used all sorts and pulled really hard as I do them but if they come undone in a finished project a few months down the line, I always wish I’d taken the time to stitch in the ends!
