I have a somewhat dark secret: sometimes I never weave in my ends on knitting projects. Or at least not very well.
I have sweaters that have basically felted ends on the inside because I never bothered to weave them in. If the stitches on either side of the place where the yarns changed don’t look loose, I think it’s fine.
But there are lots of projects where this non-solution to the problem of weaving in ends won’t work, in which case you need a game plan.
Sheep Among Wolves has a great overview of the options for weaving in ends, from working both strands of yarn together to how to weave in ends horizontally, vertically and in different stitch patterns.
I usually don’t give my weaving in that much thought, but it’s definitely a place where it’s worth taking the time to do it right.
