How do you easily pick up stitches and decrease for a heel on a hand knitted sock?
I am stuck at the moment and it is killing me to see a work in progress not progress.
Any answers would be appreciated and tried
When you decrease you want to do knit 2 together one end, and knit 2 together through the back if the loops the other end so that the "slant" of the decreases matches either side.
To pick up, you need to insert your right hand needle in a gap (preferably under two threads on the side of the fabric), pull the wool through on to the right hand needle and continue doing this evenly until you have the right number of stitches. You can then knit these picked up stitches normally as any other stitch. Be careful that you leave enough of a length of wool when you start to pick up so that the end doesn't work its way loose and come undone; you will need to weave the end in when you have finished.
