That's so wonderful!! I wish my stitches looked as good as yours do.do you have a special trick for joining colors? How do you hide your ends?

Practice makes perfect-ish? If I remember correctly, I went overkill with this blanket and used a russian join, which does not create a tail, though you have to get used to calculating exactly where the join will happen on the yarn so that your stitch colors do not bleed together.
Typically, I do a standard type join, making sure to work the ends in as I go. If you work your tails into one or two stitches (rather than weaving them between the stitches, as is normal to do at the end of the project) it almost ties them into place, securing them. I prefer to not have tiny lumpy knots in my blankets, so this seems to be the way to go. This comes back to bite you if you have to frog anything.
If you work the ends into the same color (which might mean carrying the yarn to the next row up, rather than the next stitch), then the ends become invisible.

Wow I still have so much to learn!! I have worked them into my work before but only when my work is all the same color and i just need to add a skein. My multicolored things have those knotties!! I look forward to trying out some new methods then and i'll be keeping close eye on your projects to see what else I can learn from you. Thanks so much!!
