No Bulk End Weaving

To keep from bulking up stitches when you weave in ends ~ or to prevent your ends from "popping up" through your work ~ split the plies of the yarn at least into 2 strands and weave them back and forth separately (for a few inches each way) through different stitches.

Excellent! Yarn ends - and how to deal with them, effectively - are the bane of my life.

Best to you, Sophia

This really works. Thanks for the tip. I've made 18 afghans in the last 9 months to send to our daughter who is stationed in Kuwait. Little warm right now, but in a few months I can start sending them over. She has several young ladies working under her that the afghans are for. Just a little something soft and warm and from home for these brave girls.

I'm a newbee here and just starting. I would like to ask how to add thread without there being a lump that shows on one side or the other? I tie it twice, if only once and I pull on it, it comes apart and I don't trust that though the wash. Only doing the basic slip stith. The only thing I'm interested in is a few simple designs for Afhgans and I want to make a baby blanet when I get the word that my son is going to be a Daddy! Have no clue how I'm going to work with a tiny needle, I can't wait to get the baby thread and making that! It's slippery and the with a tiny needle I have no clue what it may look like. Practice is all I can do! Thanks for any hints you can pass on!

ps I read that you can stich down one side or flip and go down both sides. I have to flip it as I can't do it backwards. Does anyone understand what I'm talking about?

Now if only they made a needle that would weave them in for you....

I'm glad I found your site. My wife loves to crochet mainly during the winter months. She is quite good at this having made several items for family members over the years.

I have never heard her mention any website on this terrific hobby that she pursues. I am sure she will utilize what you have here. She will become a big fan and maybe even get involved in a blog comment or two.

She is always asking friends and relatives questions about how to improve when she crochets. I will make her aware of what you have online and she will become a regular reader. online casino
