I don't know about all you knitters and crocheters (sp?) out there, but weaving in loose ends is the bane of my existence. Especially for large project that frequently requiring joining new yarn. In the wee hours of the morning I stumbled across the Russian Join, god's gift to all yarn crafters. Its quite a simple technique in which you graft two ends of yarn together to make a pretty seamless join.
Once the join is made and pulled tight, the loose ends are trimmed, then it's back to working on that scarf (or whatever is on your needles / hook at the moment). Life has been changed for the better. Good bye annoying loose ends. Check out Very Pink Knit's clear, concise tutorial on the Russian Join.
