Unfortunately I won't be able to make squares and mail them to you within 6 days, but I will watch your blog for future projects that I can contribute to. That's such a noble cause!<br />Merry Christmas!Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538334659901064721.post-84348561630216464122010-12-24T10:10:12.640-05:002010-12-24T10:10:12.640-05:00I always weave my ends in two or three times befor...I always weave my ends in two or three times before cutting, so if I do that, is it ok to cut or do you still want a tail after all that? I've never had any of my things come unraveled.<br /><br />If you don't want it cut, you want a 5" tail on everything with a tail, color changes and all?Marie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838079550433002806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538334659901064721.post-89729431022560346352010-12-24T09:19:43.456-05:002010-12-24T09:19:43.456-05:00What we don't want is yarn knotted and then cu...What we don't want is yarn knotted and then cut without leaving a tail. You need the tail worked in except for the end. The problems arise when people knot and cut right after the knot. Hope that helps explain it. Yes cut after woven in. Using a knit isn't necessarily bad, it's just when it's a knot and cut immediately with no tail that you have the unraveling problem. A good tail is about 5 inches or so, thanks Marie AnneSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538334659901064721.post-57575100148825735402010-12-24T09:06:33.567-05:002010-12-24T09:06:33.567-05:00What a wonderful gift!

You mention not to tie and cut, but to weave in ends (except for last tail). Do you mean to weave in end rather than tie, then cut the end after it's woven in? Not sure what you're asking.<br /><br />And how long a tail do you want? You can leave a comment on my blog or email me at Ldyjarhead @ yahoo.com.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Marie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838079550433002806noreply@blogger.com
