If your knot is secure and barely noticeable, in a blanket, I'd leave it
alone and keep stitching. If it were going to be noticed like easily seen,
I'd cut it out. Either way, you have a difference in your piece. If it is a
multi-colored piece, you have to make sure those ends you weave in stay in
the right color. So, it depends lol.

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.
