I use a method you can find on YouTube "Knitting Help - Weaving Ends as You Go" by Very Pink Knits. This way there are no double-thick stitches and you can trim the ends later and not have to worry about them pulling loose. I primarily knit garments so its okay for the wrong side to have the ends woven in with this method.

If we are talking about knitting in the round, where you just add in a new skein wherever you need to add it, I usually hold the two yarns together (new/old) and knit with them together for 3-4 stitches, and then drop the old yarn and keep just the new yarn in my hand going forward. I find that secures them enough until you weave the ends in later on. With flat knitting, at the start of a new row I just drop the old yarn and start with the new one. No knots or anything.

As far as crochet goes, I have no idea of the best method! :)

I do this even if Im not knitting in the round, also the Magic Knot as mentioned in another post. Depends on what Im making. I think they both work equally well and avoid having to weave in the ends afterwards :-)
