@ms.brenda8993 you could try just turning the work the first half of the short row rows, then pick up the edge stitches as you work back down. But you might end up with little gaps down the side. Let me know how it turns out!
Okay, back and watching again. I didn't get a response to my first inquiry, so this will just be an observation. You may have more success if you used a plain background, instead of a background with texture, which your camera is trying to focus into. Like a plain white or cream piece of paper, with no texture. Then the camera will try to focus on your yarn or your hands. Just a thought. I'd be tempted to remake the video using that technique, since some of the glitches really does effect what we can see.
OK, so I'm gearing up to make my first sock. Ugh. I feel like I'm gearing up to land a ship on Mars, but whatever. I was given some 50%acrylic/50%bamboo. Would that make good sock yarn? I know you said Wool with a little Acrylic is best. And what about those yarns that have elastic wound in? Do they work up easily for a first-time knitter? Just asking...
Your explanation of German Twisted Cast On is the first time I haven’t thought “Oh hell no” and moved on. Thank you for your excellent tutorials. I watched this one as I finished up the second sock from the original Every Day Sock pattern and now I’m looking forward to #2.
Thank you for the video. I would not have considered a tab sock until this. It is harder for me to figure out men’s sock sizes for friends gifts, even with the footprint as it relates to my stitch count. As soon as I figure out how to do this, I will do these socks. Thanks again.
Thank you, 🌺🧶🦋🥰, love crocheting/knitting socks. Knitting gloves 🧤 in progress. I tend to do the circular knitting magic loop. Toe up. I like doing all methods, love 😍 learning. Many avenues. Thank you.
Should the heel flap have the number of rows divisible by 4 for the larger sizes like the smaller sizes do since there are 4 rows in the pattern? Thanks.
You made me laugh. I am a continental knitter but have learned to throw because I like to do fair isle. Having a yarn in each hand gave me better results with my floats. I have the same issue as you but in the reverse. For me, continental provides an easier way to get tension on the yarn but throwing, my yarn pops off, I have to stop and hold the yarn and so on. I am going to try and give your method a try for holding the yarn when I throw. I agree that hand size, in particular finger length does play a role in knitting as I also have small hands with short fingers. Thanks for sharing!
I crochet by tensioning the yarn in between my 2nd finger and 3rd finger on my left hand. I use this same method for knitting. I could not for this life of me knit continental style like everyone else was doing by holding the yarn the way they was tensioning their yarn. This way worked great for me!
Help I after the DS how many stitches should I have before I begin KDS ? I just need to know the stitch count to double check my work. I love your pattern and purchased it on Ralvery
Excellent instructions; very clear and s-l-o-w :). And I personally appreciated you knitting a small size so we could get on with things, not to mention not giving too much of the pattern away. But…I’m wondering if there is an advantage to using this method of short rows. It seems like a lot of wrangling (especially those purl KDS which, as careful as I was, caused me to drop a stitch and frog). I haven’t re-worked those rows yet so I can’t see if the right side of the work is substantially nicer than some of the other methods. Thoughts?
This is a more of a guide to supplement the pattern that Rachel has, its so you can visually follow the techniques and understand how the stitches are supposed to look and then look at the pattern for further information on how to make a sock for adults
Friend, this is a FREE knitting tutorial for a complete pattern, that a stranger recorded for the benefit of others. She’s obviously nervous to be recording, but powered through that to provide useful content for YOU. Take a seat and keep the unnecessary criticism to yourself. Out here acting like you were born in a barn. Bless your heart.
Thanks for that, I hadn’t even noticed until you got out your amplifier and megaphone. If you can’t appreciate the content then just move along. Don’t be a negative Nancy.
