I do the russian join if the yarn is thin enough , otherwise I do a lot of weaving in!
Make sure that you join yarn at an unobtrusive part of the garment, and then i tend to weave in on the wrong side, and by splitting the back of the stitches with a sharp needle . I also weave in in different directions, the diagonal being the least prone to stretch, or down the back of a rib column. In my final pass, i go back through the weave i have just done so that the strand splits itself and then i leave a very short end poking out on the wrong side. It sounds like overkill but it works!!
