There are a lot of videos to look through. I have tried to categorize them in playlists. I am sorry it was difficult for you to find.
You can run the tails either way. If you run them in the seam and if the tail comes out, it will be hidden on the underarm. If you run the tails through the stitches then it is secure between stitches. I have had good results with both.
(TJW thanks for pointing me to this video – I don’t know how I missed all the how-to vids)
working with stripes on something like a sleeve – is it better to run the ends up along the edge of the garment seam rather than “into” the body of the garment? or does it matter either way?
You are welcome.
I have often wondered, now I know! I never liked the part about sewing in the tails. Now it will be a breeze for me. Thank you.
When sewing in tails, It is really not a big deal if you go through the stitches or if you happen to go through the middle of the strand of yarn. I have often thought that if you do go through the strands, that the tail may be more secure because of the natural twist of the yarn and the little hair fibers may grab a hold of the other fibers. Sewing in tails is the only time it is alright to go between strand fibers. You do want to avoid it when making your crochet stitches.
(rest of comment above) I don’t guess it is a really big deal, is it? The results look about the same, don’t they, and hold up nicely when the pieces (dishcloths) are used? Thanks again for your help. I am making a confident comeback to crochet after about 30 years or so.
I always thought that splitting yarn was something to avoid. I never knew it is actually another technique. I am slow at weaving in tails because sometimes I use the larger end of the needle (the eye) so as not to split the yarn in whatever I am making. It is harder for me to do. Maybe I should just relax and don’t worry about using the pointy end. Sounds like I am splitting hairs here(ha!).
Splitting the yarn is just another technique if you are concerned the tails may come out. I don’t split the tails very often but it is a technique that I wanted to share.
I think I’ve been too fussy about not splitting any yarn as I weave the tails. I’m careful not to split the yarn when crocheting, but how important is it when weaving tails?
Thanks again,
Geneva
you are one bad mamajama!!!!!
You can use the hook. I have found the needles can get in more places than the hook. Both ways are correct and will work.
I do the same but I use the same crochet, look easier using the needle, I will try it soon
Thank you
