Colorwork ends can be a beast. I thought this time around I would be clever and rather than painstakingly weaving each end in I would try out the braiding technique! Nope.

It’s too bulky, some of the ends are too short to feel really secured (that’s on me), the huge number of ends makes it seem messy, and it’s too thick to tie nicely at the end. I do think it would work with fewer ends, but it’s not meant to be for this project. Sigh. I’ll see you all in 10 years when I weave in the last end.

What’s your favorite technique to deal with colorwork ends?
