Hi, @neumannsalva !

Those garments look nice and cosy 😍

I try to deal with the 'loose ends' as I go :

  • I endeavour to change / finish skeins at the end of a row so I can hide the end there.

or

  • When I join new yarn I endeavour to knit / weave in ends for about 8 stitches (like this explanation by Stephen West.

(I do the same with the two ends of the yarn ... in different directions)

I knit continental so I don't need to 'interrupt the flow'.

Uhhhhh thank you so much for the tip <3 !!! I at first thought its about knitting the old and the new yarn at the same time (I tried this on socks, but it is clearly visible on the right side, not nice) but no, he has a different technique, more like it would be done in colorwork. Why did I never thought of this!!? Is it really secure? Without a knot? 😮

I haven't had any problems when weaving in ends as I go like this. I guess it relies on the yarn to some extent.
( I mainly knit with acrylics :D )
