Hi all:  I bet many of you are wondering . . . . . what do you use the 
multi-prong transfer tools for?  

Here are my suggestions, please add your own so I can learn something 
new to try!!

1) use every needle multi-transfer tool (with cap) to hold the 
shoulder stitches temporarily for putting back together on the 
machine.

2) use every other needle tool to transfer every other stitch for 
picot hem or lace hole along bottom of sweater.

3) user every needle transfer to do shaping for sock heel or toe. 

4) use every other needle tool to do a 1x1 twisted rib or 
mini-cables across the row.

Looking forward to hearing more . . . . Lea-Ann

>>. . what do you use the multi-prong transfer tools for?  

I use them to make decreases evenly spaced across a row.  After I work the
decreases, then they are great for moving the sts over to get rid of the
empty needles.  Some of the hats that are knitted on dp or circular needles
do that.  I just plan it flat and sew a seam on one side.  Also did a
bottle cover that way where it decreased at the bottom.
