Hello from Swansea, Illinois.

Weaving in ends as you go in Ribbing: I have done this (in K1,P1 ribbing) by treating the end as if in colourwork, as though it is a secondary colour float that I am catching. I tension the 'end' yarn in my left hand and ensure it is wrapped over my LH index finger. When I insert the RHN into the next k. st. I extend the point of the needle underneath the 'end' yarn on my index finger before wrapping the working yarn and completing the k st. On the purl stitch, I bring the yarn forward and purl as normal. But In the process the 'end' has been caught or weaved in to my background stitching (every second stitch) just like catching floats in colour work. Works for me.

Thanks Heather. In case I haven't explained it adequately for the original questioner, there is a good example of this technique in a youtube video by 'yarnlab' called "westknits MKAL locking in ends as you go - no weavin stephen here'. I then adapted this for use in 1x1 ribbing as described.

Hi, Heather. I tried varying JSSBO last time I used it, because I was getting *too much* flare with YO’s between every stitch. Instead, in a 2x2 rib, I only added the YO or bYO after every other stitch - still too much. I settled on inserting YO only after 2nd purl, because otherwise that’s the spot with shortest yarn path. For that particular project, this turned out to be the “sweet spot” for stretchiness. 😊 - Deborah S

Do you like knitting from charts, I think charts a little easier. Especially when knitting lace.

I personally prefer charts myself, yes! Lace and cables (and colorwork, too) are easier for me with charts.
