This is my first pattern from you, and my first MKAL. I just wanted to say I deeply appreciate how detailed this video is (that there is a video at all!), that you're showing both English and Continental style and how nicely written the pattern is. I already know this will be very fun to knit and I'm looking forward to the end result. Thank you!

@StephenWest Месяц назад

Thank you so much! There's something new and fun to try each week during this Sock Along. I can't wait to see the sections build together.

@resourcedragon Месяц назад

Oh, dear! I thought the cast on was Tuesday 16 July, not 9 July! I haven't balled my hanks yet. Well, I've done one mini-skein while watching this. This does take sock knitting to the next level, these are going to be some of the most original socks anyone has ever met.

@jenniferg5625 Месяц назад

I think what impresses me the most is you break your yarn with your hands!! 😬😂

@teolaiknitskelly3874 Месяц назад

The knitting flat has me intrigued.

@andreamiller6200 Месяц назад

May I just say how much I enjoy you, Stephen, and it is a real treat that Clue 1 goes for a hour!

@elvirakammerscheid6340 11 дней назад

What a great idea to knit the shank crosswise! I like to do that, but without pattern and color mix. Knitting socks is certainly more fun this way and I have to dye wool first, because I want to have twice the fun. Thank you very much!

@stitchesandjacks7692 Месяц назад

Wow amazing, you never fail to surprise Stephen! I love this design element and am really excited to cast these on xxx

@lavendercottagefibrearts Месяц назад

So excited for this surprise sockalong. Stephen you are such a great teacher I think even if the final product is not my cup of tea I will still learn loads making the sock.

@alexyes4290 Месяц назад

Hi Stephen, it was a surprise for me to start flat, I had to read the pattern twice to see if I was right 😅. Your video is very helpful, thank you so much!! Here in Italy is so so hot today but I’m going to start my sock anyway!! Ciao!! 🇮🇹

@gillianshiels6068 Месяц назад

Amazing design, I always look at your projects and think they'll be too complicated for me but once I get started I remember I only need to concentrate on one row at a time. Can't wait to see how my colours work out on the welts😊

@StephenWest Месяц назад

That's such a great outlook...you can do it!

@sandrastonecipher6008 Месяц назад

FABULOUS! BRILLIANT! THANK YOU, Stephen West!

@Kyaravp Месяц назад

At first when seeing the pattern I was a little nervous about all the techniques but with this video it all became so easy and clear! Looove it. Excited what’s to come 😊

@kayefudge9469 Месяц назад

@deborahdrager1019 Месяц назад

So appreciate your very detailed tutorials. I don't know who initially started doing tutorial for knitting patterns, but it is so thoughtful and helpful with new techniques. Thank you for your time and patience.

@Cdwny Месяц назад

At the beginning of the video I was like ‘wow this looks fun’. After contrast number 1 I was like ‘huh, this is not your basic K1P2 sock’. By the third contrast color I was like ‘hmmm….maybe not for you’ 😊 I really enjoyed your manner in teaching this. Thank you. Edited to add : the ‘not for you’ referred to my skill level, or lack there of, not the sock. The sock looks super fun!

@ChemCath Месяц назад

Hope you finish because it will be unique and you never know how it is going to look like at the end. Just take it one row at a time. And if it is not for you there is probably someone in your life that would love it!

@barbmckinlay5108 Месяц назад

Darn it Stephen! I wasn’t going to make these. After watching how can I not make them? Awesome instructions! ❤

@Kyeta96 Месяц назад

I was exactly the same. Do I need any more WIPs in my life? NO. But then I saw the video and had to quickly scrounge my stash. I am enjoying the first clue. Thank you, Stephen!

@jenniferg5625 Месяц назад

I’ve done knit alongs before, but never a mystery one! This will also be my first time knitting one of your patterns. I’ve just watched your video and i LOVE your enthusiasm and you explain everything so clearly! I’m going to try to only follow the pattern to keep with the mystery, so i haven’t gotten far in the video, but I’m really excited!

@StephenWest Месяц назад

So fun! I hope you enjoy it.

@lyndakuit7703 Месяц назад

So exciting and intriguing!! Thank you so much for such a clear tutorial. This is my first MKAL I'm very excited to learn these new techniques which you have explained so clearly.

@StephenWest Месяц назад

I hope you enjoy it!

@ChemCath Месяц назад

I had to frog back to the end of the Chevrons and go up a size due to my calves being fatter than my foot size. And wanting things to be symmetrical. The striped 3-stitch icord bind off is going to be interesting when I get there again. But I have already learned a couple of new techniques and was pretty pleased with myself until the tube didn’t fit. I get to use the yarn twice! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@latetotheparty4785 Месяц назад

The tube fits around my ankle, but the selvage stitches are too tight, I’m anxious I’ll break the yarn. I knit both tubes. I’m thinking about frogging and changing the selvage stitches to garter.

@ClerkFirstChurchofChristScient Месяц назад

I didn't see in the written pattern that it was to be knit flat. I just assumed you forgot to say "join to knit in the round." Which was silly to think that because your patterns are wonderful. Once I saw the video I saw my mistake. Thank you for providing these great videos. I did the SAL last year and love my socks. They are a perfect fit!

@Masseyman399 Месяц назад

This is the first time I have joined the sock knit a long and I look forward to starting this evening! Having such a detailed video is excellent, I consider myself to be an experienced beginner but probably wouldn't attempt with the pattern alone, the video makes all the difference! I am also interested in buying the pattern for one of your previous hiberknitalong shawls, the glittering snowflake...is there a tutorial video available for that shawl at all? Again, I don't have the confidence to work just from the pattern.

@StephenWest Месяц назад

The Glittering Snowscape Shawl includes some video tutorials linked throughout the pattern for some of the specific techniques, but that shawl doesn't have a tutorial showing every single section. Many of the stitches in that shawl are simple ones with short pattern repeats.

Wondering if the 3 welts go in the back, on the side? Anyway, I did clue 1! Not sure if this is a sock I will wear though.....

@kathyeaston3167 Месяц назад

Hi Stephen when I do the first pattern row on row 3 I only end up knit two together three times instead of four times so I added two more stiches. I hope to hear from you tomorrow. Kathy 15:29

@lisam8756 Месяц назад

So I thought I'd wait for a clue or two, see where this is going. Put on the video, " we're knitting the first clue flat.". ....wait.... WHAAAT????, . Hold please( sound of woman running , frantically grabbing needles and yarn, like it wasn't ready to go already 😂). 24 hours later I'm starting sock #2. I know you know, but this is SO COOL!!! I Thank you for the FUN you bring to the knitting party.😊

@StephenWest Месяц назад

Yay! I'm so happy you joined us for Clue 1, I had so much fun designing this pattern.

@theknittingchick Месяц назад

Hi Stephen, very interesting start. When I knit socks I normally knit them on a 2.5mm - 9" circular needle I cast on 72 stitches for the cuff and then I decrease 4 stitches to 68 and I then knit the leg. What Size should I follow for the leg of this pattern? Thanks

@StephenWest Месяц назад

Try following Size 2. You could always add a few more pattern repeats in the final section 4 to make it a little bit larger circumference if needed. The Leg tube should fit snug around your ankle/leg.

@tylerletourneau3785 Месяц назад

Ok ok ok what is the case you have at the beginning??

@StephenWest Месяц назад

It's my Project 14 Needle Case from Re:Designed! They are available at Stephen & Penelope.

@Carly_C_Crochets Месяц назад

Hi Stephen, thanks so much for this tutorial. If we cast on using a crochet hook, do we still need to slip the last stitch of the next row? That leaves me with 49 stitches of main colour and 1 stitch of contrast colour. Thanks!

@StephenWest Месяц назад

You need 50 total MC sts for Section 1 of the Sock.

@Carly_C_Crochets Месяц назад

@@StephenWest Thank you - so should I knit the last stitch rather than slipping it? Or is there a neater way of doing it? :)

@resourcedragon Месяц назад

@@Carly_C_Crochets: I just slipped mine and then knitted it the next row. (I also did a crochet cast on.) I am wondering, though, if I should have snuck in an extra row, a sort of row 0 (WS) that is worked the same way as row 2. The MC part of the long tail cast on is, I think, the live stitches that are used at the end when the work is joined together and we crochet cast on people don't get to the MC until row 1.

@TobyMax853 Месяц назад

Row 3 in the written pattern starts with k1 k2tog 4times, in the video it starts with k2tog 8 times.....

@pathwalker1762 Месяц назад

No it doesn't - see timestamp 12.15 for row beginning. Good luck

@TobyMax853 Месяц назад
