I am endlessly impressed with your ingenuity and the way you can break yarn with your bare hands like it's nothing lol! I will definitely be using this technique!
Oh thank you!
If working two tails you could weave one color over one stitch and then next color over the next stitch. So each end would be woven every other stitch.
Yep works great and no bulk. I recently did this with a bulky yarn and stranded colorwork to weave in ends. I was going to post this suggestion as well.
Brilliant
I'm a knitter for more than 60 years but didn't know this way to change the yarn/colour. That's great - thanks a lot for this idea😊❤
Holy cow- and the man doesn't even use SCISSORS! Yarn Wizard Stephen
You have literally made knitting easier for people who love to knit different colors
OMG! There no more barriers for me to knit fair isle ! Stephen, you opened my eyes and doors to more knitting projects for me 😆😍 thank you so so so very much!
My mind is blown. I've knit for YEARS but never knew this little trick. Thank you so much for this video! I feel like this is going to make my knitting so much easier from now on, and now I won't shy away from colorwork!
I have been knitting for about fifty years and never knew this! Amazing way to take care of loose ends. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I just started the second color on a blanket with 7 colors and 23 stripes, and this will save me so much time!
Wow, life changing! Thank you so much for this tip. The only reason I have so many UFOs is because I loathe weaving in ends!
I feel you on this! So many of my projects are 99% complete, because there's still the weaving in the ends, which I dread!
I tried the double Weavin' Stephen today on a garter stitch project knit in fingering-weight yarn. It felt a bit fiddly at first, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. It's practically invisible and feels very secure. So glad to have learned about this technique. Thank you, Stephen.
Great Tutorial!
How to weave the yarn when I want to purl?
This method has been used by many for ages. Just be careful with loose knits that they don't pop out later. : )
New to me!
@@jollyolly34 - There are many things (not new) I've seen over the years that were new to me, too. : ) I was just saying that at times when I used that method in the past with loose knitting, sometimes the yarn would pop out.
@@annwithaplan9766 Slippery yarns like cotton, acrylics, and bamboo will slip out. For those I use Staci Perry's knotting technique. Go to very pink RUclips videos.
@@adelelott26 I was wondering about that. Thanks for the tip!
wow. you have changed my life right now :)
You make people happy. That is the entirety of life. ❤️
This is life changing stuff! I am so excited. Just about to do a scrappy pair of socks. Thanks!
Endlich mal eine unkomplizierte Anleitung. Danach habe ich wochenlang gesucht. Dankeschön!
What a brilliant idea. I hate weaving in ends. You’re a genius!
You have changed my life forever! Weaving in the ends is my least favorite thing ever!
I love this but I keep getting elongated stitches where I’ve wrapped! Any suggestions for what I am doing wrong. I mean this is pretty simple concept.
Should have read the comments. Used the technique with one strand and dropping the other to weave in on the next row. DON'T, it will leave a hole which that you'll need to close. My suggestion is to weave in a couple of stitches with both ends before dropping one to weave on the next row or to alternate ends as mentioned by Debbie below. I wove in with double ends on the next sock and didn't have an issue with bulk. I knit socks two at a time with magic loop. Great technique and hoping that it holds up to the wear and tear of socks. it just might be the game-changer for me to give up using the double knot join. Spit joins are always the way to go with 100% animal non-superwash fibers. Thank you, Stephen!!!
I have tried this technique 2 times now and both times I have tinked or ripped out my knitting to the point of where I did the weaving in because I don't like how it "sits" in my project. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if it is just not for me. I do like your video's and your tutorials.
This FINALLY clicked for me today for an intarsia project
Wow, I haven’t seen this done before but it is brilliant especially when using multiple colors. Thanks!
Genius! I have 50% of Hue Shift left to do, and I am SO Weavin' Stephen for that. Thank you!
I have done this for years not knowing it had a name
Thank you. Looks like a great technique, but I would worry about what woul happen with a stretchy stitch, like garter.
maybe do it longer..
Wowza! Where has this technique been my whole life?! Can't wait to try it on my next project. Thank you so much.
Wow, I have been knitting for around 35 years and never knew this. I will be trying this on my next knitted baby garment. Thank you so much for sharing this trick 🤩
wowwwww literally life changing - i hate weaving in ends so so much
I simply love this technique, I am
New to stranded knitting and I will for sure enjoy working with colors much more, because I won’t need to think about all the weave that has to be done at the end! Thank you for sharing it! ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏾🤩
Hello Steven. Great and such a useful idea. It looks great. Thank you for this instructive video, too. I always work over my yarn tails to trap them as I go but it is not like this. Next time I need to do this I will use your Weavin' Stephen method.
I have just tried this amazing technique part way through a cardigan I am making. Your method looks so much neater.I will be using this method on as many things as I can. Game changer.
I've been afraid of using more than 1 color with knitting. I can do it easy on crochet, but this looks easy. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for this tip!! It is so simple but it’s a game changer with my knitting
I wish!... Ive almost finished a striped polo shirt. OMG after many hours I've completed weaving in the ends. Now to finish and knit the collar. If only I'd found this video a month ago!
I love it! I think I might be tempted to put a tiny knot at the end and then cut
Absolutely brilliant! I just love the ingenuity of knitters-I will definitely be implementing this in my knitting projects going forward!
This is amazing! Thank you! I just started a Hue Shift afghan and was dreading weaving in all those ends. This is a game changer.
here doing the same thing!! how did your afghan go?
Love it! Thats life-changing for me!! ♥️
Hey Steven! That's what I do! Sometimes it looks a lil thick ,so I cut one strand of the yarn and weave in the rest. Love your patterns!!!
omg, I needed this in my life! thank you so much for sharing. This link was shared in a Ravelry forum and led me straight to you
It's useful technique. Thank you Stephen.
Thanks you so much. I don't do well weaving in ends. This is great!
Wow. Thank you so much for this brilliant technique. I wrote myself a note on my next-in-line project pattern to remind me to use this technique.
Thank you Stephen!! Such a game changer!!!
Thank you, you have changed my knitting and crochet life for the better!!!!!
You have just changed my life.... 😀 Thank you!
This is the only technique that is so easy and really works that I’ve seen. Life changing!!! 💖💖💖
I love this technique but I’m wondering if it is stable enough for something that is going to be treated roughly. I make baby blankets for charity and specifically use 100% cotton. My design allows for matching washing/drying. Does anyone know if this will survive the torture of a washer/dryer? I usually do a Russian join, but I came upon a fabulous yarn that is 11-ply!!! mercerized cotton. A Russian join just doesn’t work with all those plies and the slippiness of mercerized. The blanket I’m making is bespoke, so I’m a little hesitant to rely on this method.
Instead of dropping the yarn, why not hold it in the other hand and catch it every second stitch for about 10 stitches (depending on the slipperiness of the yarn)?
Que buenazo eres para tejer WOW!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Incredible! Thank you for sharing this. I'm in the middle of a lot of color changing projects.
I am so excited about doing the weaving Steven! I have always avoided colorwork because I hate weaving in ends! Thank you so much
Cool. Is that enough to completely lock the ends in? If so, that's truly amazing! Thanks for the great tip.
This is a fantastic tip! Thank you for sharing, Stephen!
Okay now THIS is a lifesaver AND a timesaver! Thank you for sharing.
Stephen- I saw that you use ChiaoGoo needles sometimes- please join my ChiaoGoo Diva group on Facebook- we are 2500+ ChiaoGoo lovers who help others buy the right tools and maximize them such as using their connectors to widen your Twist red cable as you shawl grows. We would love to have you as a member- we do occasional give-aways too. We love this method of adding yarn.
I love this technique! I'm using it now to do contrasting toes, heels, and cuffs on my socks. Thank you!
OR working in English style. Hold both strands over your Peter pointer right finger and trap the new tail as you knit across 💚 Much love, fellow knitters xxx
Very cool! It seems like whip stitching the tail as you go. Yes? 🤗 In any case, I've just given it a go at the initial cast on. Will try again for the next 2 colors. 🙏🏻😊
Thanks so much. I join in the middle with circular needles however it leaves a little hole. Why is this perhaps
We learned that as kids in Scotland over 60 years ago. 60 years. Ouch.
What a great idea. Thanks Steven 🙋
This is great thank you! Question: can you do this even if it’s not garter stitch? So how would I weave in say 2x2 Ribbing etc?
I have the same question? I knit 2, but then what do I do with the next 2 purls?
I wonder if you can just carry in the back and only do it on the knit stiches? If it is something with a definitive wrong side, I bet that would be ok. But if it is something that you want to be reversible, that probably would not work well.
Really helpful. ❤ Thank you. Which shawl is on your lap, please? 😍 I want to knit it! 😊
I tried this method and unfortunately two of my ends unraveled while blocking and created holes. Any tips for preventing the ends from unraveling?
its kinda logical, that this can happen. Maybe do it just half the row, and by coming back, do it inthe opposite direction?
You darling genius 💡
Sorcery! This is genius and I love that you named it after yourself
Can this technique be used for purl Stitches? I tried to use it, but it didn’t work for me.
Thanks, for the tip I tried it in the round and it leaves a hole /gap.. Any suggestions please? Thank you!
Could you please do this video using thick yarn & thick needles please? It makes it so much easier to see. Thanks
Just wondering if you follow the same technique if there is no wrong side to the work 🧐🧐🧐
I tried this and its not very secure. The stitch the end is hooked to gets bigger as its pulled in normal use. I had to reweave them in the normal way!
Makes tinking extremely difficult when you discover mistakes. What say you, Stephen?
It’s not a problem when tinking. I’ve been doing this for years and years.
Can we like do this for more than 10 stitches? Would it affect the quality of the Knitted work?
I wish you could show this video in a slower mode. I have watched it and stopped it over 25 times and its really hard to follow such fast movements.
oh my god wish I found you before - glad to have found know. Hate the weaving and the potential unravel if not done well
OMG I love this! Thank you 😊😁❤
OMG that is great ! I disliked with some passion lol weaving in yarn… thanks a lot !
I hold tail yarns in the left hand and trap them like this but go over and under to knit. It’s a little less fiddly than holding the tail(s) in the right hand.
Wohhhh, I should have seen this earlier.....😂😂😂😂
This is brilliant!! Thank you for sharing!!❤❤❤
thats just genius :) thank you so much for this video
This is life changing 🙌 THANK YOU
Where has this been all my life!!
So cool! What knitting needles do you use?
Game changer!! Thank you!
Thank you for this!!!!
Muchas gracias, todo un arte!!!!
Thank you! Now I won’t avoid stripes!
Happy to help!
I love this!!! TYVM. :D
How would you do this over purl stitches?
Brilliant idea! Thank you.
Very cool
Excellent! I’ll definitely use this next colorwork project I knit.
Brilliant you’ve changed my yarn joining forever!!!!! Thanx Stephen!❤❤
Why has no one told me this before!!
I love it. Gamechanger. Thanks for charing. I like to watch your videos and your colorful and textured patterns. I hope you understand my english
Nie wieder im Nachhinein alles vernähen.wie geil ist das denn? einfach genial. Ich find deine Videos einfach klasse. Ich schaue sie manchmal auch nur weil es so Spaß bringt dir zuzuhören und zuzusehen.
Sincerely Lili
ho! 좋은방법이시네요 감사합니다 ^^
