MrB cranking out practice socks

MrB is cranking out socks for me to practice the kitchener stitch on the toes.  OK I did three, still need way more practice as I am not getting the hang of it!  But I have had enough of that for today.....MrB is still hard at it at sock-school , he has definitely made a full day of his learning today!  Kudos to him!

I am just now figuring a bit out with your Blog. I registered a long time ago but did nothing with it.
Kitchener stitch,,,,,,, I think my mom puts the stitches on needles and works them that way. Black is the hardest to see. Wool is the easiest yarn t work with as it sits up nice, even if a bit of ravel happens.
I call it grafting or kitchner stitch and have put the instructions in my phone so I have it when travelling.
I will put in in another comment. Ran out of space. Angela

Yarn from back,
Go to front & purl
Go to back & knit

Front knit & drop
Front purl & leave

Back purl & drop
Back knit & leave.

Thanks Angela but I am a non-knitter and I need to learn it the CSM way witout knitting needles, and without knit and purl. The CSM method uses a tapestry hook. I will get back at it today and see what I can accomplish!
