When I have a lot of tallies in my work, and I do MANY tallies, I usually try to hide a knot in the centre of the tally. I switch threads, if need be, with a tally passive. Alternatively, if this is not positive and the thread is fine, I put the knot up and out of the work by lengthening the thread and support it on a pin. I carry on working as usual and then, eventually, cut that thread close to the pin and knot it, placing the knot as close to the work as usual. Since we work on the 'wrong side' of the lace, the knot is then on the underside of the work. Hope this reply is helpful and that I have explained myself clearly enough.
