The diagonal keeps the ends from being seen on the front. I use a crochet hook mostly, but occasionally I'll use a darning needle.KSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833804154146003809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-8671381052383706582012-12-14T09:55:10.896-06:002012-12-14T09:55:10.896-06:00The photo of Al and Zach is sweet!

Great ornaments! And if you find a great way to do the ends let me know. That's the worst part of knitting. Some people knit them in, but I'm never happy with that either.Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-75844442356933824762012-12-14T09:34:54.622-06:002012-12-14T09:34:54.622-06:00What a lovely post - love your words.

I haven't seen a candy cane host - he looks like a towel holder, but I love that he holds candy canes. <br /><br />the fireman collection (?) is perfect. Seriously perfect. And the picture of littles - melt.<br /><br />Weaving in ends - when I took an intarsia class we were taught to weave the ends at an angle. I think that's the trick - do I remember, not until the ends I've woven straight across stitches, pops out. :) ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301526396026815132noreply@blogger.com
