The Mark of a Master

I've watched lots of different craftsmen and women over the years. My mom always told me to pay attention to one thing: how the master craftsmen treated the back of a piece - or any detail that most viewers/users wouldn't see. The back of the piece should be as neat and well done as the front. A real master would pay attention to all of the details, even the details of which only he or she would be aware.

I'm working on a striped sweater right now. Every few rows, I change colors. I am using 9 different colors. So there are plenty of little ends hanging out where I have cut the working yarn in order to switch to the next color. I'm trying to be very careful in weaving in these ends - I'm using a duplicate stitch technique so the strands trace each other. I'm really trying to make this a neat process. Hopefully, the inside of my sweater will be as neat as the outside.
