"Tinking back", these new fangled knitting terms are so technical. 😂😂😂
You made me laugh 😊

[@tereyes5633]

Very helpful. Can't seem to master the surgeon knot as demonstrated .

I tried this with the 50/50 cotton-acrylic blend I am making the Tolsta Tee with, almost immediately after I saw your video. It worked a treat! Thanks!

Yay! So glad it was a success.

Oddly enough, your method actually creates the exact same result as traditionally weaving in your ends with an actual sewing needle. The technique is sometimes referred to as the "double stitch method (double knitted - if weaving in from the front - or double purled - if weaving in from the back). Regardless, either way - from behind or from front - you are sewing in over top of the already knitted stitches, following the row, doing so in a figure "8." I typically do it from behind as a force of habit, but it looks the same as if done from the front. So two things make your method great: it's faster and easier and it provides the exact same result as if using a sewing (tapestry needle). Also, it is a pain in the neck having to weave in tails at the end and I think most knitters would rather hire someone to do the job. Since you're doing this not as an afterthought, but up-front and "one-and-done," it's SO much better! I learned something new today, which is my number one reason for subscribing to content providers such as yourself, so kudos to you and more importantly, this method! I'll definitely be using it! Thank you for what you do and as I said, you earned another subscriber, today! Happy knitting! 😊 - Clubkidknitter/Earl

It’s bulky…there is a way of using only one strand at a time from the old and new slternsting
