Finally got it figured out after reading your detailed explanation.

Here's a good tutorial:<br />http://sockpr0n.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-weave-in-ends-while-knitting.html<br />You can also do the same thing on the purl side, which isn't shown. You can only do it when working stockinette, or you'll end up with floats on the wrong side. Essentially, purlwise you work it the same way, but with both the working yarn and the end facing you. You wrap the "wrong" yarn (ie, the end) the wrong way around the needle, wrap the "right" yarn (ie, the yarn you are wanting to knit with) the correct way around the needle, unwrap the end over the top of the needle (which is now tacked down to the fabric by the working yarn) and complete the stitch. <br />Voila!Courtney Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009228021575963975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12462914.post-67578451244042752592009-05-17T11:27:00.000-07:002009-05-17T11:27:00.000-07:00There is indeed a method to weave in ends as you g...There is indeed a method to weave in ends as you go, but it won't work for every project. It's simply to hold the tail together with the working yarn and knit them as one. Because this doubles the yarn, it makes your stitches larger, which works fine for a garter stitch scarf, but not so well in a lace panel, or a cardigan front with a very specific gauge. (When you weave in the ends with a tapestry needle, the tail yarn sits behind the working yarn - not next to it - and therefore doesn't affect gauge.) Another disadvantage to this method is that the ends are hidden, which makes it difficult to undo your work, should you need to rip back.<br />Let us know if you have other questions.
