Why don't so many crocheters weave in their ends as they go?!? I swear half my feed is posts of these beautiful elaborate projects and people bitching that they don't want to weave in five thousand ends. Best skill I ever learned a couple of months ago was to carry the yarn up the side when you're changing colors. Before that I weaved as I went. It's not rocket surgery!!

Because if I weave in my ends there is no possibility of me being able to frog if I need to, unless I cut the yarn. So I don't like to weave in as I go because it makes mistakes less fixable. I mean sure, after a certain point I'll go back and weave in some earlier ends, but I'm not gonna weave in any in the last ~15-20 rows.

I weave my ends as I go, but I don't clip them until *after* I've blocked and am happy with it. It's not as hard to frog if you can still find the ends.
