I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this simple yet brilliant trick until now. I’d been weaving the strands back into themselves with a tapestry needle, which I now see was an unnecessary extra, fiddly step. You’ve just made a huge improvement in my life - thank you! Now I’m going to go explore your backlog and see what other clever things you’ve got to teach me.

Huh. I "invented" this on my own recently; it's nice to know it has a name! You can do nearly the same thing and form a lark's head knot, or luggage hitch, but this is probably unnecessary for all but the very slipperiest yarns.

This is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been knitting for about 20 years and have never come across this before, but I tried it today and it works beautifully. I agree with the commentator who said it probably wouldn’t work with, or I wouldn’t use it on, anything above a dk, but it is totally invisible with the sport weight I’m using. Thank you thank you thank you! ❤️☮️. Edit: I’ve now used it with a heavy Aran/bulky superwash and it works a charm. Can’t tell AT ALL without finding the little ends sticking out. So big thank you again to ACTechniques❤️☮️

I’m about to embark on a shawl using stash/scraps, so this is timely! Socks: I think this would work wonderfully for stripey, stash/scrap socks, saving all the weaving. I might leave a longer end & weave ends in anyway…which totally defeats the purpose, I’m sure. Or … make the tails longer??? Or … leave a longer tail, & then on the next row, work over that extra bit of tail ?? Am I worrying too much? lol Thanks for all the tips & tricks, I try to keep a journal with allll the tools (ie tips etc) needed for all/any projects!

If you want more security then totally leave a longer tail and weave it back in in the opposite direction. The join will still have saved you time!
