Hello everyone,
I just finished my first pair of toe up socks. They look okay, but the first toe stitches are really loose. I used a figure 8 cast on.
I can’t seem to tighten them up. Is there a trick to this?
TIA Knitters!
If anyone’s interested…I finally figured out that I could grab a loose stitch at the opposite end from the tail and just keep tightening towards the tail. It’s picky work, but now they look AWESOME!
Good job Becky! 
I’ve not done figure 8s when starting toe-up socks - tried it the once and couldn’t quite get it though I could see what the instructions were telling me to do. I’ve stuck to provisional, (crochet) cast on toe-ups.
I hope youll post piccies!
Well, I highly recommend it. The toes look fabulous now. There is absolutely no seam. It’s like magic.
YAY, I’m happy to hear that you worked it out 
That’s what my Hubby likes about my toe-ups - no seam!!!
He says that regular store-bought socks can drive him nuts with the seams over the toes and sometimes even give him blisters! :shock:
