No Gusset Holes!

[8ankh]

any way to fix or hide the hole if you've already knit past the instep? I don't really want to go back, but I don't like that there's a hole...

[SnazzyButterfly]

GENIUS! Why didn't i think of that!?

Good Lord, *thank* you! Gusset holes have been haunting me...

You have to be careful to pull your stitches tight between your double point needles. Otherwise the looseness between the stitches becomes very obvious and creates a hole (or two) in your finished sock.

I've always done that, and I still sometimes end up with holes in my socks :( I don't know why. I think sometimes the stitches at the beginning of the heel flap and the end of the leg simply end up too loose, and then it doesn't help to pick up the extra stitch or two. But it's nice to know it's not cheating to do so :D

Jen, I too was looking for this exact lesson. I'm new to sock knitting; your video is of great help. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge on this video.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I love your sock pattern and your colorway as well. (And as a Virginian living in Australia I also miss the lovely Southern accents!)
