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!

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 😉)

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!

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.

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.

I use a hair clip, (you know the ones that are oval shape & have the curve in the middle then you and snap in place to close ) I find this secures the wound ball end, & it won't come loose, I found this tip useful

I’m not a lover of end sewing and you are so right, do it as you go it absolutely the best tip. 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!

The only way I’ve been able to get them is through Amazon 🧶💕

@@PlayHookywithMe thank you, I have had a quick look and think you may be right, unless I pay more in p&p than I pay for the needles!
