You know you want to be a pick-up pro…
No, not that kind! The kind where when your patterns says, “Pick up and knit,” you go, “Watch me!”
Socks patterns and mitten patterns both call for you to pick up stitches. Top-down socks have a heel flap which usually has a slipped-stitch edge that you need to pick up into, whereas mitten thumbs have a raw edge. Here’s how to handle both situations!

Excellent. Clear, concise, professionally done. LOVE IT! Ordered the toe up sock e-video book. Hopefully, I might be successful this time. If the sock videos demonstrate like this, I am very hopeful. Thank you!
Hi Deb!
Thank you so much for your sweet compliments.
I’m so glad that you decided to purchase the toe-up sock video e-book! I hope that you are successful with the extra help. 
Don’t forget that you can always go to the KNITFreedom forum on Ravelry if you run into any problems. 
Someone in a Ravelry group I am in just asked how to do that on a Kal we are doing. I immediately, linked her to your page here. Thanks for the videos
I would have loved to find a video of this quality back when I was first learning this technique. I like that you use really thick yarn and larger needles in your demonstrations. It makes it so much easier to see what you’re doing. When I think of all the tears of frustration I’d have been spared if you and your teaching videos had been available to me when I was first learning to knit! Bravo to you for the job you are doing!
Nicely explained. I will be bookmarking this video for reference. I would also like to link it in a collection of sock knitting techniques on Ravelry if you don’t mind.
