Hi Kay! Wasn’t sure this would work on magic loop or two 16” circulars but it does! Thought the gap between needles would mess it up but it actually helps pull the tail in. Doing my first scrappy using an idea from someone’s self striping colors. So fun!!

Thank you Kay! I thought, I could do this without looking at your video…wrong!! I thought I was doing it right and then couldn’t figure out why I was getting a gap! Laughing, a duh moment! I was weaving in the wrong tail first!! Thank you again for making this so clear! It does help you if you watch and not just think you know..😅

@joycepastore3860 Жыл бұрын
That is a great suggestion, thanks! There still seems to be a bit of a jog, so I would recommend after knitting, one round in the new color, to slip the first stitch after the marker, and that will minimize the jog.

While looking to your cast on I unknitted 2 socks! They were 2 tests that I did not like to make. So now I can start new socks that I like! So nice to see that you like EPP what I live for more than 40 years! Nederland bought kits for it, enjoy to shop for the fabrics and cut them by hand.

I'd always heard you shouldn't weave in every stitch, to do it every other stitch. You just proved that wrong! Wow, and I've been avoiding stripes in my socks. Now I want to do some scrappy ones. Thank you! This is incredibly helpful.

This is a game changer. So to be clear. When doing this method for 8-12 stitches, I should be safe to cut the remainder and nothing will come undone?? This is brilliant. I may try my hand at scrappy socks or mitts. Thanks for sharing. :)

You may need to cast on more and decrease down as you go, I’ve never made knee highs. But I would think you will need more stitches.

This is so helpful, especially about 1 color weave per round, and start 1 stitch 'early'. Do you have suggestions for weaving ends when purling? For some reason, that's a mystery to me 😏

@deborahschmidt7179 Жыл бұрын
Great tutorial - just a couple of things how close do you snip the yarns after weaving in the yarns - I've had problems with the yarn popping through to the front and could you also show what the inside of the sock should look like. Thanks for the tutorial I will definitely be using this technique on my next scrappy stripey socks.

@andreamiller6200 Жыл бұрын
I think this method looks great! Two questions: what do you do when you change to another color from the red, do you cut the red so you won't be carrying it up the side? And in a next tutorial when you are using this method, can you show the inside of the sock? Thank you!
@CrazySockLady Жыл бұрын
Yes you cut the red and then weave it in just how I showed in this video.

Is this secure with acrylic or slippery yarns? I tend to weave in ends in duplicate stitch because I feel like the tail will move with the fabric. But if this is just as secure and is also faster, then yay!
