Figured something out

The more and more I get used to working with double pointed needles the more flaws I find in the knitting world. 

Namely loose stitches at the beginning of a new needle. 

I think I have figured out a solution for this problem. At least for me and how i knit. 


Shown above is how loose a final stitch is on a needle. 


Backside of same stitch. 

 
First stitch on next needle. 


How loose first stitch is after knitting it. 

I knit the first stich on the needle and then slip the second stitch as it to knit. 

Then on the next round I pick up that missed stitch as if I was just fixing a stitch. This tightens up the stitches :)


No more loose stitches :)
