Sue, thanks very much for that great link. A have been doing a couple of things differently from that lady. I have not been keeping the yarn under the needles, and I have been pulling the yarn through the stitch I have been dropping off the needles rather than immediately threading it through the next stitch. This could be why although my grafting *kind of works* as in, it secures the stitches, it doesn't look all that neat, and most certainly not invisible. I think I'll practise on some scraps before it comes to sock no. 2. Thanks again Sue!
