I look forward to the podcasts!! Happy 100th! keep up the good work! Weaving ends are always a little stressful for me. I relistened to this episode several times (OK I listen to most of them several times...) looking forward to next episode!

Thank you so much for this. I've always struggled with how to weave my ends in. It never seems like books give enough explanation for me. I love the choices and now I feel more assure about finishing my ends.

What a relief! It's all good! It was nice to hear that I'm over-weaving - I'm so paranoid about my work coming undone, that I tend to weave several inches of yarn tails. Not anymore!

I've been catching up on my podcast listening and I'm so glad I heard this! I will probably refer back to this every time I need to weave my ends just to try a different method each time.

Thank you so much for this podcast! I've been a knitter since I was 10 and I have only recently seen weaving in ends addressed mildly in books, let alone talked about. It's always been a bit of a mystery to me: was I doing it right? did I have to do so much? etc. This podcast has reinforced was I was already doing and gave me new ideas on how to weave in ends. The information has given me the confidence to trust my weaving!

Thank you! This podcast inspired me to try the "join 2 ends with spit and friction" method and it worked!!!! I'm knitting a cardigan for one of my childhood dolls that has sadly lost her wardrobe. I figured it was a good opportunity to try something new (it's little, won't get much wear and tear) and I'm so glad I did it. What a great podcast.

I've so enjoyed the podcasts on the I-cord uses and the weaving in ends. I learned a lot, especially on the "short-cuts" that work for non-felting fibers. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I find it surprising that knitters who have been at it for years have such a hard time discussing weaving in ends. In my way of thinking (which may sounds pretty simple to all of you), as long as the method is invisible or nearly invisible - then why is there a problem? (It's just like knitting... as long as the outsome is the same, it shouldn't matter which method you use for knitting... right hand, left hand, English, Continental.)

The information on how different types of yarn stays in place (i.e. cottons, silks, etc) was very helpful. As was the weaving in of ends in lace work.
