[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Weaving in ends while knitting in the round

[carcione at access.net]

Cindy, this sounds good, but I have 2 ends—one for the old ball and one for the new.  Do you carry them both along for a few stitches?  And doesn’t it create a thicker part of the garment?  Or is it so short a time it doesn’t show?

 

That’s a good idea about not cutting the ends until after the first wash.  And the other idea sounds good, too, though I’m not quite clear how it works in practice.

If the colors are the same, I always do duplicate stitch. I hold the old and new yarn for about three or four stitches. On the next round, when I reach the old tail, I'll pick it up and knit a couple of stitches before dropping it again. For in the round knitting, I might do this on 3 rows. For flat knitting, definitely 2 rows so the yarn is locked in, but sometimes 3 rows. I don't cut the ends until after the first wash. This allows the item to be handled and stretched so when the ends are cut they shouldn't pop through on the right side.

I’m knitting a tank top in the round in plain stockinette.  Even after all these years, I’m still not sure the best way to weave in ends while working in the round.  This time, I’m weaving them in along the vertical lines on the right side.  The weaving shows a bit on the wrong side, but is fine on the right side.

What do other people do?
