Is the large good for a men’s shoe size? Edit: also would this work for patterned yarn, since we need to sew it up? I was looking at Paton’s Kroy sock yarn but I don’t know if that would work.
Yes, I would use the large size for men’s socks! You could use patterned yarn - the only place it may look a little funny is the heel, where the colors could gather a little differently
I understand what you are saying to organize your socks but when you start you knit the 25 stitches then you slide the 7 stitches to the 25 stitches. Those 7 stitches haven’t been knitted so doesn’t that mean you are on 2 different rows
Thank you for the review!! I have my eye on the yarn winder by lykke cause my current one can‘t handle big amounts of yarn. At the beginning you called it a „jumbo yarn winder“. Do you or anyone else know how much it can hold/handle? I tired to rewind a yarn cake of 4ply/250g with my current winder and that ended in an absolute tangly desaster; so that would be the minimum amount it would need to be able to handle, more would be ideal!!
this is the first knitting project i could finally finish. your instructions were so clear and the written pattern was so helpful as well. thank you for your clarity and using yellow yarn which was so easy to see where you were knitting!
I avoid ladders by using Phrancko's Travelling loop technique. Instead of pulling the back needle all the way out I draw out 4 stitches format and bend them over and knot from there. Sometimes five if your stitch markers are going to dangle and your doing plain stitch and/or not doing rib stitch 4 is best so you end your rib stitches on a purl. The other neat thing about this method is that it keeps your first row on the circulars from twisting. and you can easily weave in your tail by knitting the first row after the cast on through the back loop. I never get ladders this way and I don't have to tire y hands out by having to pinch the first few stitches.
I liked this video a lot but I have a critique. I think showing the toe decreases on the video would have been better. Going to the pattern was really going out of the way and there are people watching this video that are beginners in knitting and don’t know how to read a knitting pattern.
Love this video, I can do Kitchner fine but no matter what I do I always have ears on the sides. Thanks so much will try on the socks I have on my needles now.
This is the only video I found that did 2 color brioche in the round using magic loop. This was great to learn how to transfer the yarn overs correctly from one needle to the next!
Price for woobles is high, but if you sell the custom hook that comes with it, you could sell it for how much the kit costs and make your money back that way. At least that's what I have done in the past
I have tried 100 of times to knit socks I gave up bc I just couldn’t get the gusset and had to pull it out every time but your video makes it much easier thank you
How do you position the thumb gusset for left and right sides to better reflect the anatomy of the hand (as the thumbs angle somewhat downward as opposed to coming straight out the side of the hand).
