Quick Tip: Weaving In a Too Short End

Hi, I'm Mary Beth Temple. And I am always and forever telling you, leave yourself a nice long tail so you can weave it in when you're finished your knitting project. But sometimes it happens, you've cut it too short. You started with it not being long enough or you have lost at yarn chicken. So what are you going to do if you have to weave in the end and it's far too short.

Take your yarn needle, your tapestry needle and don't thread it yet. But act as if you're going to weave the end in. You're gonna go ahead and weave the needle and just the needle in and out of the stitches that you want to go through. Now, you can take your yarn and thread it and pull it through. If you have a little bit left, you can actually work backwards, put the yarn eye in first instead of the point weave in and out of a couple.

So I'm gonna go ahead and push that through and then rescue that strand and take my needle out. And I have woven in every little bit. I could even go one more if I had to, but then I have woven in every little bit of the yarn that I had, even if the tail was far too short.
