Yes, David... the term is kitchener stitch. It solve that problem at
the end of the sock.
However, if you're feeling adventurous, you may want to try knitting
your socks toe-up! Use "Judy's Magic Cast-On" (see it on YouTube), and
your start is invisible. Knit the sock to the top and bind off!! A
number of other advantages as well... It's the sock I teach at our
LYS!! And have you used the "Magic Loop" instead of double points?
It's not your Gran's sock world any more!

I am writing this to lace in the hope that someone here can solve an
annoying problem for me. I've knitted Granny's socks for many years
now and to finish them off requires grafting 2 needles of 10 stitches
in stocking stitch. No matter how hard I try my grafting always comes
out as a purl row (knitters should know what I mean).
