How best to weave these ends in?

Postby LynniferT » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:59 am

I made this scarf for a friend...

It was knitted on circulars and is quite lacy (knitted in garter stitch on 10mm needles) how do I weave the ends in so they don't come back out or look messy??

I have another of these to knit for MIL so if there is a way to avoid ends tell me now for next time :giggle:

I weave as I go, but that wouldn't help with the final end. I can't link to my instructions either as they're on Rav. and apparently I can't link to sites that need signing in to. It's on my Rav. projects though - I'm FeltFusion.

Could you not copy and paste the instructions here? Or am I missing something :lookround:

Perhaps when one of us gets a chance, we could do a photo-tutorial of how we do it and add it to the stickies at the top of the board so they are accessible to all our members :)

This shows a few differet ways of weaving http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/FEATfall04TT.html but because your scarf is so lacy I would proably weave your darning needle through the stitches along the short length of the scarf - as the yarn isn't going to felt to stop it unravelling, I would add a tidy knot a stitch from the end and leave a little tail but that would be down to preference :)
