Updates on Sharon's Winter Socks: did this just fine, but the stitches were too loose, as I discovered about 5 rows up...I ended up having to re-weave them to tighten them up, as a fix. (I know, I should've just rippit'd them...but) that is a problem I keep having....:(
@mhorsesbiz What's this I hear about putting the socks on DPNs to do the heel?! Haha caught you :)
A great fix to tighten the stitches after you pick them up is to knit them through the back loops the first time you come to them. This gives them a nice twist and tightens them up. Ooh, I sense another blog post coming... thanks for the inspiration!
@combs67 You can, but I'm not sure it would be easier or faster. Is there a project you have in mind that you are thinking might work well if you picked up stitches using a Tunisian crochet hook?
@combs67 : I did a crochet cast-on on the gusset of a previous pair of socks, it was a bit awkward and slow; *but* the stitches did come out a bit tighter, although there was a gaping hole in the corner of the turn...

Thank for the video! Can you use a crochet hook to pick up stitches (Tunisian style)?
