@Ploshkin As @Celia says, just practise Kitchener stitch, it makes such a smooth lovely finish. I tend to have to re-learn it every time I knit socks - and I used it for a pair of mittens too. After the first two stitches are done I distil it to a little mantra: K front offP front onP back off K back onand as long as I have no interruptions it goes along beautifully!If you want the whole thing pm or email me.
