I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now (and have been knitting for a little over a year!) and I just wanted to say that you have basically single-handedly taught me how to knit. Every time I learn something new, you without fail have a video explaining it. You explain things plainly, you get right to the point, and you’re very encouraging. So I just wanted to say thank you! And happy new year. :)

This is totally the method I use for fair isle knitting. I twist my stitches this way every 2 stitches so I have ZERO puckering from carrying strands in the back. I had NEVER thought to weave in my ends this way! How excellent and what an awesome tip! Thank you!

Yes, Fair Isle twist. Thought it seemed familiar.

I was just going to ask if this would work for Fair isle.

I'm a new knitter and I just have to say I'm really enjoying your videos! I'm learning so much and have saved a bunch of them to a "knitting" folder to refer back to when I need them. You're a great teacher, explaining things thoughtfully and simply with a very clear camera angle. Thanks for sharing all of your great tips!

I LOVE this, it's much neater than knitting the tails in and there's no bulky ends. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.

I love your videos Stacie. I've learned so much from you. You make the most sophisticated videos with clear and easy to understand instructions on this platform. YOU ARE THE BEST.

This is an amazing method! Especially for a person who gets to an end of a project and hates weaving in the ends! This cuts that process down to 1 or 2. Thanks Staci!!

Thanks so very much for this! It’s been a frustration for me for over 50 years... I can’t wait now to weave in as I knit!!!

Weaving in ends is near the bottom of my list of things I love about knitting, so I was very happy to come across this technique. It only took a few stitches to get the hang of it , and once you get a rhythm going it's really pretty easy. And as you say in the video, it doesn't change the front of the work at all. I even like how it looks on the wrong side.

This is possibly the best method I’ve discovered so far and just in time for my first temperature blanket! Wish me luck

Thank you Staci. I loved this method! I have followed your instructions ever since. Would you please teach us "purl-wise"? I believe, it would be slightly different from "knit-wise"

This has been frustration for me for years. I tried this last night and LOVED IT! I can’t wait to have to weave in again!!! ... but I will. 😁

Thank you very much for these instructions. I am currently knitting a sweater for my grandson. Beginning at the raglan shaping, the pattern became multiple stripes up to the neck. I had a gazillion ends to work in. Arrrgghh!!! Your method has saved my sanity! Thank you so much! Love all your videos! 😀

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I like your presentation too, btw. It's clear, direct, and encouraging.

Brilliant ! That’s just what you are. Every time I hit a problem with my knitting, you are my go to person to get me straight. You never fail me. Thku thku this is such a fabulous way of weaving in ends. It took me a bit of time to get my brain around it but finally I GOT IT . 🇿🇦 🙌🏻👏🏻 Ruth Durban Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa.

You are amazing, and you make me a better knitter! Knowing you are here keeps me from losing my s..t when faced with a poorly explained pattern 😂🎉❤ Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I have knitted some baby garments but I am still quite new to knitting and learning all the time. Your videos are clear and well presented, helping me to hopefully get better and more confident. Thanks again! 😊

I can't believe it's been this simple all this time. Thanks for the video!

Game changer!!!! I am working with a potato chip scarf from one of your previous tutorials, and I'm alternating colors....this is epic!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks Staci - turns out I've been using this technique for years and I didn't even know it was a 'thing'! I just finished a (stashbusting) tubular multicolour striped cowl; with this technique and your 'jogless stripes' method I now have a lovely cowl ready for winter. Love your hints and tips.

Thank you for making this video. I have been using this method for many years and it my favorite when knitting on the go.

Cool, that's how I carry the floats in stranded color work while holding each color in each hand continental and English. I never thought of using this technique to weave in ends!!! I'm so excited to try it!!!!! Great work!

Oh, I've been looking for something like this forever! Can't wait to try it on my next project. Thank you so much for posting it.

I have tried this method and L O V E it.. thanks Staci for being there for all of us

This is awesome! I'm using this technique from now on......love it! Thanks Staci.

Awesome tip! I’ve been following you for years. You’re my favorite tutorial instructor! Much love from Cobbs Creek, Virginia ❤️ 🧶

This is the same technique I use to carry a strand across the work when I do fair isle knitting. :) Every couple of stitches and the color gets carried across without any tangling from having long loops hanging out.

Great instructions. My favorite you tube "teacher"!

Yay! Just did it on my 21 color slouch beanie! Such a n easy weave! Thank you! 🧶💕🙏🏼

Love this technique! Pure genius! Your videos are excellent. Thankyou so much.

Absolutely love this tip!!!! Thanks so much for sharing it! Game changer!!!! Two thumbs up .... Thanks Staci.

Thank you for sharing this great idea! I really dread having to weave ends and this method will save so much time!😊

I can't believe what a simple technique that is for eliminating the most dreaded part (for me) of a knit project. Thanks!

I absolutely love this !!! I hate weaving in ends at the end. I'm a novice knitter and I'm always looking for new ideas. I'm so excited to try this in my next project. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks again for a great video. This makes so much sense. Weaving in ends are no fun and your way looks neater too. .

This is way easier than the last three vids I've watched! This looks awesome!

Wow! I'm making a wrap right now and this will be so incredibly useful!! Very exciting as that is my least favorite part of knitting. 😍

Definitely want to try this technique. Always enjoy your tutorials!

This works an absolute treat - I've been using the double thickness stitch method but this is much better - with a bit of trial and error I've also figured out how to do it when working on the wrong side (using purl stitches) and it still works great - I reckon I could adapt this for crochet work as well - very many thanks for the tip

What do you have to do differently on purl sides

I was very surprised to see this video because it's very similar to how I weave in my ends when I crochet! I'm definitely going to have to try it!

Excellent tutorial as usual Staci - loving this technique 👍👍👍👍👍

This is so much easier than what i was doing! i was wrapping the like i was doing an anchor for Fair Aisle. effective but a bit more tedious, this is brilliant thank you so much!

This is such a clear demonstration of this technique….thank you!

Love, love, love!! I like to color change and this is a game changer! Thanks

Omg, thank you for this, Staci! I've tried EZ's method as well but not happy with it so I usually knit about 3 or 4 rows then weave the ends into their corresponding colours before moving on so I don't have to do oodles of ends when finished. So fiddly! Thank you thank you!

I'm knitting a striped wrap and I hate weaving ends in. I didn't want to use split spicing or Russian join either so your video is EXACTLY what I needed! It works like a charm and the work looks really good. Thank you so much for sharing, as the double thickness was what I wanted to avoid. x Davie

Look forward to using this soon. Love it. A faithful subscriber. Thank you.

This was a great technique. I hate weaving in ends, and this technique makes it look simply and effective. I'm going to try it next time. Thanks for the info

hi stacy,im a fairly new knitter, thanks for the great tutorials,im so glad i found you

This was and awesome video and I used it to today. I am doing one of the scrap blankets and there a bizzilion ends. This technique works great. Thank you.

Absolutely love, love, love this technique; and thrilled to pieces that Staci gives such awesome knitting help!

This looks totally awesome! Definitely bookmarking it to try at a later date.

Great video Staci, I'm gonna give my next dual color piece of work a try using this method.

Perfect! This will probably be my new go-to method.

Love your videos. Very easy to learn your methods.

I am going to try this. I wish I knew about this a month ago as I knitted a twin size blanket with five colour changes every 10 rows.

This is a game changer for me! Thank you so very much for making this video.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Staci, I hate weaving in ends, this is perfect!!! 👍🏻

I love your tutorials! I have a request, is tgere anyway that you can do a video showing what to do when a pattern calls for a " no stitch here". Im stuck on this, going into a thumb gusset on a glove. Ive been looking everywhere online for a demo and cant seem to find anything. Im very frustrated. Please Help!! And where can I find it if you decide to do the video?? Thank you for all your videos

You are the knitting goddess!! Any knitting question I have - you have the answer! And in just a few minutes of tutorial, not an hour like many others.

I'm absolutely liking this so far! Thanks Staci! Sara Jeanne

This is a game changer for me - I love it!

Excellent video. I wish I had seen this video a month ago. I just finished knitting a blanket that changed colors every six rows and now have to weave in all those loose ends with a tapestry needle. UGH! This is the one thing I hate most about knitting and crocheting. Thanks for all your helpful videos.

Thank you! This will be a lifesaver for my temperature scarf project,

Very helpful! Love your how-to videos!!

I love your videos. This one is helping me so much with my Temperature Blanket KAL!

This is what I do to trap long floats in colourwork. Never would have thought to use it to weave in ends too, I always do the Zimmerman method. Very clever, I'll have to try it!

I didn't read your comment yet and posted a duplicate note above! I had NEVER thought to weave in my ends this way, and now I feel I should have thought of this before. :)

What a great idea - can't wait to try it

thank you loads!!! It is so simple when you explain it!

I like this technique! Thanks for sharing it!

That was great! My mantra will be 2 strands forward and 2 strands back 😂 so I can remember the technique.

I love this! Can't wait ti try it!

I used this technique a few months ago when knitting a blanket for a customer in honeycomb stitch with stripes. And because there was one row that all knits, it worked out perfectly! Today I am knitting a striped Hogwarts scarf and I decided to come back to this technique after not having done it for a while. I kept watching the video and doing what Staci was doing but realized that my tail and old color weren't getting trapped in the knitting and I couldn't figure out why. It was because I didn't realize that Staci was doing a regular knit stitch with the working yarn after those stitches, and *that regular knit stitch* is what traps the yarn. It's like trapping a float in fair isle, which means you also have to watch your tension. I'm doing this in stockinette in the round and you can see those floats through the stitches similar to fair isle and my stitches are slightly bigger, so I guess I have to work on it.

Awesome technique! I can’t wait to try it on the Protest is Patriotic Shawlette. Thank you very much!

I'm pretty impressed with this method too. Thank you very much indeed. x

Just what I was looking for !! Working a stripe cardigan. Thank you!!!!

I love this technique! ❤️ Thank you!!!

Thanks Staci. Another great video

Thanks for this technique! This is just awesome ! Loving it! :-)

Thanks for the great tip. I’m knitting up a sweater and this will come in handy!

Looks like a really good way to weave in those ends!

Great technique, keep up the good work and thank you

Thanks so much for this video. Will definitely use this technique in the future 😊

Thank you so much! Now I will happily be changing colors.

Omg that is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!

Wow! So inspired for my sock yarn blanket again. I'm more than 160 squares in. Thanks.

Brilliant! No one explained this as well as you have!!

I love your technique. Thanks

LOVE!!!!! can always depend on you for good advice...

Trying this for the first time on double pointed needles, wish me luck!

I like it, very much. Thank you for sharing this idea.

Excellent video of this technique

Genius! Thanks, Staci!

Thank you so much! I’m knitting a temperature blanket and weaving in the ends is getting very old! This is a perfect technique!

I’m doing a temperature blanket too. Did you find a way to do this with wrong side facing you while switching colors? I’m finding it looks messy when changing colors.

Just brilliant tfs. Love it 😻

That is very cool. Now to keep somewhere so I can find it again!

That's brilliant! I will definitely use that.

This is brilliant! Thank you.

Works fantastic!

you are very talented 💝

Love this video thank you for sharing. I wonder, can you use this technique for like intarsia, where you have to carry a color across the back?

This is GENIUS!!!

Is there a version of this for purling and/or seed stitch? Or do you just reverse it for purling?
