hi everyone - i’m attempting to finish my first mitten. the instructions say:
k2tog 5 times. cut yarn, leaving tail. with tapestry needle, thread yarn through remaining thumb stitches and pull tightly, fasten. set the inside thumb seam. secure and weave in end.
i get everything but the end. how should i “fasten” the yarn? how to “secure”? i have a feeling they don’t mean paper clips and tacky glue, which were my first guesses. :??
thanks for any input!

:teehee: paperclips. that would be my guess too!
Actually, when you pull the yarn through the remaining stitches, I then loop it back around tthrough the last stitch and kind of tug to close it like a drawstring bag. Then I knot it on the inside of the thumg.
That’s my tip … :happydance:
thanks binky! i see exactly what you’re saying.
i like your picture! being from south dakota originally i can relate!
Yep, everybody here’s put their tongue on something metal!
Although lately, it’s been almost tropical. What very little snow we have is almost gone…it’s been in the 30’s…a very brown Christmas. I need to finish my mittens I started in August…I was on a jag to make a set for myself for winter and haven’t sewn them up! GAh!
