Amazing how much I learned just watching this video. I didn't realize I even needed to know about these things. Funny how the very next day I NEEDED TO KNOW how to felt in the middle of my knit. 🦩
I'm someone who over researches everything and am also a self-taught knitter. I'm knitting my first jumper with a Irish tweed merino wool. My first join I used a "spit" splice but I became so paranoid about unravelling. Your demonstration of how to weave in ends with duplicate switching is the first time I've actually understood how to read my stitches! I'm not scared to weave in, I just don't ever want the yarn to come undone. I'm going to try this method when joining my next ball, thank you.
Wonderful. What makes it really stay in place is blocking after you weave in the ends. I have another video comparing weaving in the ends before vs after blocking. Better to do it before blocking.
Thank you for this! I’ve been knitting for decades and this is the most professional finishing technique I’ve seen demonstrated for both joining yarn and weaving in ends. It is also the most professionally presented video.
Suzanne Bryan's explanation of the intarsia suddenly let me make sense out of all the articles I have read and the videos I have watched. She is superb.
Suzanne, I want to thank you for mentioning and using natural yarn. I had a farm, raising fiber animals (Merinos, Leicester Longwools an endangered species, and Angora goats) but most customers wanted superwash. I couldn't compete and closed my farm
Oh Lubna, I'm so sorry to hear this. Natural fiber is definitely my preferred and I love supporting the folks that produce them. I wish you the best and really appreciate you watching my videos!
I like the weave-in-ends part. I've been confused about how to weave in ends in the back of stockinette stitches for a long time. This demonstration is super clear 👍
I've been knitting for over 50 years and this is the first time I've learned how to join yarns properly! Thank you for a great video. I've subscribed x
Learning to read your stitches, super important, like reading music. Using the duplicate stitch for weaving in ends makes the most sense. Thanks Suzanne.
Ms. Bryan, your tutorials are always excellent. I recommend your TH-cam channel in my knitting groups frequently. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise.
Suzanne your video is very clearly done. Your control of the camera to enlarge is so helpful. You will be my “go to “ from now on. Thank you for your expertise
Wish I had seen this last week BEFORE I finished my last project!!! I didn't realize that splicing would work with cotton yarn and also I learned Proper technique adding new yarn!!! THANK YOU !!!
Thanks for a magnificent video-teaching - though I am a very old knitter, I think its always nice to look at other methods. You never get too experienced to learn! Thank you from Denmark.
You are an excellent teacher. I’m a visual learner and your videos are easy to understand and so clear. I have been knitting for decades and was never shown how to change yarn and weave ends correctly and seamlessly. Thank you so much.
You are so kind, Claudia, thank you! I find that there is always something new to learn, and I love learning and teaching, so it's definitely a win win for me!! 😊
What a joy ! Excellent clear instructions of demonstration at What a joy! Every stitch Suzanne What joy! Thank you for an excellent lesson. I learned new methods which I am looking forward to practicing. I look forward to catching up with all your lessons.
Suzanne thank you so much for sharing this video it is just in time as I had a knot in my yarn working a sweater the yarn is 60% cotton 40% acrylic I think this is going to but just what is needed. So happ y to find you and you great collection of videos. Nancy
This is an amazing technique! I've always done the splice method, which has been working for me. But lately I've been knitting with white cotton yarn and you can see every little imperfection! But this technique is totally magic! Looks perfect!
Thank you so much for all the techniques. They are invaluable for the Master Class. I am German, and we follow the decimal path :) I thought the 1/8 of an inch you left after cutting the yarn looks like 3mm ... I was right: 3.175mm
Wonderful to hear, Nicole, and I wish you all the best on the Master Knitter Program! I have many videos that are 5 minutes or less that are acceptable for the MHK program, if you are interested. PS: Well done on your measurement conversion!! ❤️
I've watched the weaving in so many times and thought I can't do that! But following it slowly, step by step it really, really works and looks so neat. Like another comment below, I'm nervous to only do two stitches either side but will try and have faith!
You can do 3 or 4 if that makes you feel more secure. Try it on a swatch, block it and then see how it is. I have another video on whether ends should be woven in before or after blocking - it is also very interesting. th-cam.com/video/jfOKZMmc4cM/w-d-xo.html
WOW! Excellent tutorial! I really like the duplicate stitch method but the spit splice without spit has its pluses. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I too have joined a new yarn mid row as per method 1. The only difference is I thread my new yarn into the loop of the stitch where the old yarn ends. (usually use my yarn needle for that) It really helps hold the stitch more securely while working across the row. Then after the piece is completed, I weave in my ends (yes I give myself about a 4-6" tail on each yarn end. So enjoy your tips and techniques as I always learn something new (and I'm not any where close to being a young knitter : )
Thank you! Thank you! I use acrylic almost exclusively and I always struggle to weave in ends. I always fear it will come loose. I am knitting my first sweater (even though I've been knitting for 40 some years). This video gives me the confidence to join new yarn and weave in the ends without knots or fear!
Super helpful video. I just finished a linen cardigan and wished I had watched this first. I used the method of holding the 2 strands together but I wish I had used the method you demonstrated of weaving in the ends in duplicate stitch. I'm enjoying your videos. Glad I found your channel.
I’m an avid split splicer, I also take a felting needle and lock it, so I can do it over about 1/2”. And it’s really invisible. I also add moisture and comb out the ends as I work with super wash extra fine Merino, and I’ve had them come apart after washing. But normally things are good. I find with deeper dyed colours they tend to be more problematic, however the needle felting I have added makes it perfect. This started when I was finding knots in my Italian yarn, so I had to re wind every ball and splice as needed prior to starting a project so I was uninterrupted. Thank you.
Hi Suzanne, your video instructions have been a tremendous help to me during my knitting projects. I cannot thank you enough for your clear instructions. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for another very helpful video. Happy knitting:)
Oh my God Suzanne, you come out with things I have never even heard of before, I think I will use the splice method for joining from now on, Amazing how neat it looked, I have only tried two ways, doubling up; and folding about 4 stitches on each strand & looping them together, but thats like 4 strands and you can see it in work.
Thank you Suzanne, I'm about to hit the ball change on a heavy aran cardigan and was wondering how to add the yarn. Suddenly this video pops up. Will try the duplicate stitch technique. You really explain things well. Have a good day :)
Thank you for explaining the science behind the felting/splicing ! Makes so much sense, and I learnt something new. Just used it in my knitting and it looks fab :)
Thank you. You are such an inspiration. The way I learned to add new yarn is much more cumbersome : you take apart plies on the working yarn and the new yarn to join, then twist some plies from the old and some from the new yarn for about an inch, long enough to knit one or two stitches with that combination after the last stitch with the old yarn , then you start with the new yarn. This leaves you with four (!) yarn ends to weave in. It is certainly more work and I am looking forward to start using your method in a baby blanket I am working on. Thank you so much.
I'm about to start a new project (striped blanket) and it will be about 200cm x 100cm, meaning i will definitely have to add more yarn in the middle of a row thank you for all these methods and such great explanations!
Great timing for me to come across this particular video as I have just finished a sweater with multiple color changes and therefore lots of little open spaces that will need to have their tails woven in. Now I can do that with confidence! Thank you!
It’s funny, I’ve actually never crocheted before. My sister does it and I have thought about learning, but I haven’t yet. However I came across your video and I watched the whole thing even though it’s really of no use to me at this time, lol. You do a great job teaching. Thank you 👍🏼
I just tried the spit splice method yesterday (with spit 😂) but I’m so glad that you don’t need to do that! I’ve usually done the other methods . Thanks so much for your videos, subscribing now!

I tie the two different ends together and knit the ends as I go along. This way yarn will not unravel when washing in washing machine as most people will do if yarn is machine washable.
I have used the 'spit' splice multiple times since Suzanne explained what it really is and why it works. Love, love, love it! Thank you, Suzanne.
Thanks for sharing!!

So nice to have a continental knitter demonstrating. Very nice explanations. I'm going to practice the splicing method on some scrap pieces.

Thank you sooooo much. WOW just love the weaving in process. Only 2 stitches 😲 and super neat. I’ll definitely be trying that on my next project.
You can do it!
I guess only two stitches is not enough in cotton or some yarn like that?
Try it on a swatch and see what you think.
Just tried the split spit method with 100% Merino Aran weight and it worked... Woo

No kidding, just two duplicate stitches on each side? I've been afraid to do anything less than 5 or 6 I'll be brave and try 2's!
