[Nfb-krafters-korner] knots and baby blankets

Mon May 2 17:29:08 UTC 2016

I am making a baby blanket for the church and I ediscovered there is a knot, not far from where I am working.  I am using large needles and chuncky yarn.  You can hardly feal the knot, just a little bump and some fuz on each side.  Should I continue to knit with it or cut the yarn, at the end of  the row and have 2 tails to weave in?

Instead of tying knots, you can weave the end of the yarn into the knitting or crocheting.  It is especially easy to hyde these ends when there are seams.  You can weave back and forth across the seam on the inside of the garment as far as you want.  After three inches or so, there is no way that end that is going the  opposite direction from when you were knitting or crocheting can pull out. This is when a yarn needle with an eye large enough
to slip the yarn right through is a great tool.

Thanks I'm going to look for the knot book.  I've never been good with knots and it is something I'm always needing to know.

No, Nella, come on. It won't come unraveled because you can learn to make good knots and the ends of the thread. There's a book on knots on BARD.
