Marly Bird I already posted this comment but I want to make sure you see it. Could you plz plz plz plz🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻(I think you get it) how YOU (MarlyBird) knit? I'm a beginner and a lefty but I've been trying Right since I didn't know you could knit lefty.. help me MarlyBird

@jeanninefortier5650 5 лет назад

Hi Marly I am a beginner knitter and came across your video looking for help. Wow knitting can be intimidating but also can be fun. | tried doing what you suggested on your part 1 video but not successful. I think the yarn I used and the size needle created a problem. I am learning that yarns are not all equal in consistency as far as getting the proper gauge and outcome.. After several attempts and changing yarn I am now able to manage knitting my first sock; it was not without much trial and error and ripping back. I tried a few different yarns and I finally found one that I was able to manage. The knitting needles are also an aspect. I do like the bamboo ones but for some reason this time they didn't work as easily so I used the metal ones and that worked much better. I will follow the rest of your videos to learn the whole technique. Thank you so much for providing these tutorials. I would like to converse with you if possible through my e-mail which is jeade63@gmail.com. Jeannine

Marly Bird how many inches are the double pointed needles? Sorry if I missed that part. Thank you.

@bozomahoney 4 года назад

@needlepullingthread1573 2 года назад

Please don’t ever take this tutorial away, I still. Need it after 3 years your set up can be used on regular sock knit yarn. Love it 🥰

@SusanFarmer-vz7zc 11 месяцев назад

I made my first socks watching this video, I find Marley easy to follow.

@aidahartmann3473 6 лет назад

Of all the tutorials I’ve followed for using dpns, not one has suggested to divide the stitches and join while needles are positioned flat on a surface. Once again, you’ve demonstrated your genius as a hand-crafter and facilitated a skill once thought as difficult. Thank you!

@louettesommers8594 3 года назад

I believe laying it out on the table is the best way to go especially for those starting out on double points. I personally love them.

@lynns8057 4 года назад

I would love to know the genius who was able to create socks - or even know about knit and purl stitches. I mean, it really is amazing when you think about it. You did an excellent demonstration - kudos to you for being able to teach us how to knit socks! You rock.

@EMcG271962 4 года назад

I picked up knitting during the COVID19 shutdown. I figured out basic knitting and pulling, made a scarf and ventured to DPNs to make a hat. Then I saw this series about socks. Watched all 6 videos. You convinced me I could do this ! You're an amazing teacher! I made one sock (a prototype) with acrylic yarn I have around. With your videos, I'm ready to try making socks with actual sock yarn! Thanks for these videos! I smashed the like button on all of them!

@marylynnquattlebaum4578 6 лет назад

You do so much to encourage and give confidence to those of us who feel reticent to take on newer, more difficult skills. Thank you for taking the time to explain so thoroughly and clearly.

@Bumbleclump 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. This was a revelation. Have been unsuccessfully trying to join in the round for 2 weeks 😂 big smile on my face now.

@MarlyBird 11 месяцев назад

That’s great!!!!

@julieanderson7078 2 года назад

I have knitted with DPNs before, but I must say that your method for beginning is brilliant!! Marly, you are an awesome and patient teacher. I can surely learn from you!

@cleokoch2764 2 года назад

Girl! I wish I had found your video last week. That lifeline tip could have saved me. Instead I unraveled from the heel flap and re-rolled it all to the ball of yarn. Your instructions are so clear and precise, from the no cuss cast on to the Knit 3 for picking up gusset stitches. Clearly the best sock video out there. If anyone is reading this and wants to knit socks, THIS IS YOUR VIDEO SERIES.

@susanfarmer474 5 лет назад

I started knitting two years ago. I make blankets, hats mittens, slippers my dream was to make socks I've never been able to understand any patterns then, I found you on RU-vid wow! You are the best Marley I can't wait to try my first socks.

@debracubitt6191 4 года назад

I want to knit socks but I am not experienced I was wondering about DPNs or small circulars I watched the videos and I am encouraged Thank you! I will never know unless I try!

@carlyblair2793 6 лет назад

Thank you so much. I have tried at least four other patterns and videos starting with the cuff and the way they were done my work was always inside out and really messy looking so far my work is coming along perfectly and your instructions are very clear and east to follow I'm a crocheter and have only been knitting for about a week and your video has really helped me understand how sock making should go and actually knit them correctly. I'm really excited for your next video.

@rathartscience 5 лет назад

I have to say that this is the best tutorial I have ever had. Having a new visual impairment that makes reading knitting patterns very difficult whereas before the impairment, no problem, now with you I had such ease and sense of accomplishment. So happy! Plus the recipe idea wow. Bravo

@needlepullingthread1573 3 года назад

Marly Bird, I just want you to know you gave me the super power to knit socks, and EVERY start I come back to this video, to cast on and begin, see I need you with me. Thanks Gal pal

@jeribianca9013 6 лет назад

Thanks Marly! I love knitting socks...9 inch circs, magic loop, 2 circulars, single and 2 at a time. DPNS have held me at bay. You make it look LESS complicated! I will give it a go. Your tutorials are always thorough and easy to follow.

@debbieperea95 3 года назад

I’m just doing my first DPN socks. I’ve only made one pair before using the magic loop. They came out fairly well for a first pair. I did start over once and my first sock ribbing is by looking great. You’re a wonderful teacher. Once I finish 2” I’ll start the second sock as you suggested!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶🧶🧡🧡

@abbyharpur8752 4 года назад

I remember watching my piano teacher knit socks and thinking, "I will never be able to do that." Yet here I am, on my way to a pair of socks! Such an awesome way to pass quarantine! Thank you!

@kathleenandreottola6150 6 лет назад

Marly I have watched 4 different classes on Craftsy for sock knitting. Your tutorial is by far the best. Very easy technique and as always you are a great teacher.

@carolynthibodaux9823 6 лет назад

I have knitted socks on double pointed needles before, mostly tube socks without gussets, so know how to use dpn fairly well; however, really enjoyed the cast on variation, will try that, because I do sometimes get ladders. Your slow and explicit instructions are well received. Thank you!

@joannefleet5546 7 месяцев назад

I’m left handed but trying to learn right handed. Crazy . But I keep trying. . Love how you instruct. Thank you

@MarlyBird 7 месяцев назад

You can do it!

@iraidalily2384 6 лет назад

Madly, you’re a great teacher, would you consider showing us how to make socks using the magic loop?

@locohuero 6 лет назад

I wish these videos were around I first started knitting years ago. You break it down so nicely and give a subtle mantra to work by. Thank you so much, for these videos.

@katekris5870 5 лет назад

Thank you for your videos. As a new knitter I always wanted to knit socks but it was way too complicated. You made it easy to understand. I’m getting the hang of it. I had to rip it out a few times but I see it as a learning process. I have the first cuff done and I’m working on the second sock. Again I wanna thank you,

@annedowns6156 6 лет назад

Marly you are an EXCELLENT teacher and I am so grateful for your tutorials.

@suhairbarqawi4184 3 года назад

@sherryschichi6340 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your very descriptive tutorials! This is my very first time with DPN’s and with your instruction I nailed it first try!!

@donnafournier696 6 лет назад

first time ever I've seen someone show how to cast on this way, I'm so glad you did, it's sooo much easier. thank you

@sylviannedeoca-dhainaut8590 4 года назад

Wonderful tutorial, thank you for clear instructions, I had tried so many times to use dpns,within 20 min of your demonstration I was finally successful. Very impressed by your teaching style, very professional. Thanks Marly

@lesliewind338 5 лет назад

My early time of knitting socks on dpns would have been so much easier had I only seen this series first. So glad I found it to make things easier in the future.

@donnazappala7738 6 лет назад

Marley you are SO awesome! This is my first attempt at knitting anything and I find that all your helpful hints and attention to details are VERY reassuring I can make it through this. I crochet too but have ALWAYS failed at socks. Thank you for taking the time to create this KAL!!!

@lynseylawton-roberts3768 4 года назад

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a Newbie to sock craft, so excited xx (I’m UK Gloucestershire)

@Elliria_home 6 лет назад

Marly, that stitch marker part is absolutely stunning! I've accidentally knit inside out before after setting the work down and not knowing which direction was which (causing the project to have to be restarted). Making sure the stitch marker is on the outside of the work is an absolutely brilliant way to prevent that. Thank you so much!

@Eluhify 5 лет назад

Thank you, MarlyBird. I've been teaching myself (from online resources). This video has been very helpful getting me started on my first pair of socks. Who knew that I was knitting inside out? I only had to restart 3 times. It definitely pays to pay attention to details when you start.

@ChadlyRN 5 лет назад

I know you posted these videos awhile ago but I just saw and love them. So easy to follow. I’m a fairly knee knitter and these vids are fantastic. I like how it’s broken down into sections. For some reason the DPNs I have only have 4. I need to get more.

@lindaparsons3356 6 лет назад

I amazed in how you did the cast on. And when I saw how you did the knitting these socks I thought I would try it. I love the way you do the cast on with the double pointed needles. It is easy and relaxing. I was searching for a video that teaches to knit a pair of socks that was easy. You are the only the one I have found.

@MarlyBird 6 лет назад

Thank you ;)

@lindaparsons3356 6 лет назад

You are quite welcome!

@lauraprue8763 6 лет назад

Thank You so much for this! Dpns have intimadated me for a long time. This I can do.. You are truly the best teacher. I have followed other Kals u have had and loved them! Thank u again!

@vickiestewart5142 5 лет назад

CC Closed Caption. I am on my 3rd pair of socks. This series helped so much. I just saw on Face Book about helping with closed caption help. I love this series and was going to start with this one. If there is another, better one, just let me know.

@catherinegoser4817 6 лет назад

What a fantastic video! The best explanations and simple instructions for a top down sock start! Well done, Marley Bird!

@laylabriggs6159 6 лет назад

Marley, you're a great teacher! I've had a fear of dpns and sock knitting for forever. I'm now willing to give it a try. Thank you!

@mariagaldamez2564 3 года назад

👋 there Marly I am so glad to have “ run “ into your 🧦 tutorials “ and also this is something new that I’ve just learned from your video on how to knit 🧶 🧦’s is that worsted yarn can be used for knitting or crocheting socks “ “ Because I “ always “ thought “ that the only “ type” of “ yarn that could be used would have to be wool or sock yarn “ or “ sport “ “ yarn “ even I mean go “ figure “ rite “ on “ coool “ 😊 👌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽

@jbowen8502 6 лет назад

Great instructions as usual Marly! This is my first time knitting with your yarn. Looking forward to the finished product!

@a.reneesutton6327 6 лет назад

TY SSSSOOOO much. This is the easiest cast on using DPN that I've ever seen.

@MultiCaro2011 6 лет назад

I’ve been knitting socks with dpn’s and I never thought to do when joining! I did lay my needles on the table but they used to flop around! Brilliant!

@zanpsimer7685 2 года назад

Love your knitting tutorials. Funny thing is I learned first on dpns. I struggle with circulars. And magic loop? Forget it! 😂

@lindachandler2293 5 лет назад

My first practice socks were on cheap metal dp needles. In my inexperience, they were a pain in the butt. I bought a package of tiny hair rubber bands and kept one one each end to keep the yarn from slipping off. Someone suggested using bamboo needles and I was ecstatic with the difference. The yarn stays place so much better. No rubber bands any more 😊

@chrislopez5337 6 лет назад

This cast on is amazing! I promise I’m going to diligently follow your instruction and not go off on my own. Haven’t started yet because I kind of overdid today and my hands hurt too much to do anything. Tomorrow is another day! Love you!! 💕💕💕

@shanellewarner6873 6 лет назад

Ice been looking for someone to do a video tutorial on these socks .And I'm so excited I get to follow your tutorial .So here comes my new project .

@frunzid1 6 лет назад

Giving it a try. Thank you Marly! I hold my yarn in my left hand and having a difficult time doing that first round..... but not gonna give up!

@tjcox4213 6 лет назад

Best ever video series, step by step.. I’m a first timer so by watching and doing it’s been pretty easy to follow

@cathymayfield2064 2 года назад

you make sock making look kind of easy. I really want to try. Have a terrific week.

@lindamurphy4672 6 лет назад

Thank you for teaching us to knit,you do a wonderful job,I have made sweather and ponchos all your free patterns Christmas was so nice everyone loved my gifts,so again thank ya.

@phoenixgatecrafts6450 5 лет назад

I love this video series! I've used this pattern to make my husband two pairs of socks (turns out he's got skinny feet, so the first pair was waaaaay too loose, but the second fits great because of the options you recommended in the second video) and I just finished making myself a pair. Thank you so much for doing this! I recommend it to anyone I see on Facebook who is nervous about making their first pair :D

@MarlyBird 5 лет назад

fantastic! I am so happy you enjoyed making the socks with me. Yes, the mens size for this simple pattern is rather large but the good news is it is completely adjustable!

@phoenixgatecrafts6450 5 лет назад

I have a bit of a request. After the new year I'm going to make a video recommending RU-vidrs and their videos that I really like. I don't do tutorials, but my plan is to answer frequently asked questions about knitting and crochet. I want to recommend you and this video in particular. My channel is new and small - I only have 3 subscribers right now and one of them is my husband - but I was wondering if you had any other videos you would like for me to recommend??? I'm also a huge fan of your shawl tutorials and the videos of you and your mom :D

@margaretmetcalfe9380 Год назад

Wow this is so helpful I now know what I have been doing wrong when trying to knit with dpns

@conniewilson7318 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh I want to do this, but I have a trip first to nyc then I can come home and try this, thank you marly bird and red heart!

@annesmith3352 3 года назад

Thank you so much, you are correct it’s my first time knitting 🧶 on DPN needles ! And lucky me found best tutorial ever! Xx 😘

@loribiamonte6533 6 лет назад

What a good video. So clear and concise. I’m going to cast on tonight and not be afraid. Thank you.

@bethmasog1248 6 лет назад

WOW! THe only reason I would cuss is that I didn't know how darn easy a cast on could be! THat has been the biggest pain in my butt when using dpn's for newborn hats. THis is my first sock attempt. THanks for making it so clear!

@mariagaldamez2564 3 года назад

@doriseaster8043 6 лет назад

@karinb57 6 лет назад

OMG......your gonna make me make socks aren't you? Hahaha....I've been so into other stuff lately, polymer clay jewelry. And now your tempting me.......to make socks of all things..... I just love the way you explain things. Very clear and easy. There is just one thing I will have to get my head around. I'm from Holland originally.......I think we knit differently....lol.

@veronicasmith7312 6 лет назад

This was amazingly helpful. Every single tip given helped me learn to use my dpns. I feel very confident going into the next step in making these socks 😃

@gaylareinkens3231 6 лет назад

Holy cow! You just clarified every problem I've had attempting to use DPN's here... So amazing! I fought the gap between the dpn's, the twisting fiddlyness of them.. I can DO this now! Doing the happy dance over here, thank you Marly!

@samanthaperkins5505 4 года назад

thank you so much, have finally knitted using dpn, i am only at the 2nd step but I have achieved something I have trying to do for over a year, ,I think I need to learn to knit continental knitting as it looks much easier,

@1preciouswoman 5 лет назад

Thank you for showing us how to do this by laying the needles on a flat surface.

@MarlyBird 5 лет назад

I think that is key

@donnaschmid3997 Год назад

I miss this yarn.

@needlepullingthread1573 6 лет назад

Hi Marly! I am doing it! I am doing it! I have half the cuff done with NO ladders! I NEVER thought I could get this. By the way it took my 20 times cast on and first round to figure out I was casting on wrong with the tail on back not front. Thank you!

@gardenglowsdesignllc6171 6 лет назад

Stellar way to show a circle cast on for any pattern that uses one!👍

I Came Across To Your Video... Thanks So Much... This Has Put A Light To My Problem...Thumbs Up.. You Are Awesome Teacher.... 😊😁☺😁😊☺👍👍

@gaylareinkens3231 6 лет назад

I had to pause this video, got the uncontrollable giggles goin on over here.. at your "no cuss cast on" LMAO! Too funny! Ok, got my coffee now, and I think I can stop laughing and back to the video... Thank you for doing this series on socks!

@Samantha-dv4je 5 лет назад

This is an AMAZING tutorial. You are a great teacher. Thank you!!❤️💝

@christinawallace9550 6 лет назад

Still waiting for my Chic Sheep yarn, but this is so encouraging for me. I don't feel so intimidated, at this point. Now once I start, we'll see. I guess if I had to ask a question it would be how do I know how much yarn to use for the long tail stitch count? That confuses me.

@cececheairs 6 лет назад

@SpiralBreeze 6 лет назад

Ha ha! So weird, I cast on the same way when using double pointed. I already know how to make socks, I just stopped by to see if I could pick up some interesting techniques. Thanks! Sure wish Red Heart would come out with new sock yarn.

@jacquelinesalem2776 4 года назад

great tips for starting with dpn's . Nice.

@debjewett7279 5 лет назад

thank you for the video and for the step-by-step instructions. Question: Have you knitted this pattern on magic loop? I am new to sock knitting but not knitting. Also, how would this pattern knit up using a finer weight of yarn? Say for instance, use the larger pattern but use a sport weight or fingering weight of yarn. Thanks so much!!! You are such an amazing teacher. I am most grateful. I planned on knitting toe up and two at a time beginning with the German short row method, but I thought this might be the best place to start for sock knitting. I love all of your videos.

@nativewind1174 6 лет назад

Hello Mrs. Bird, I'm just a beginner knitter. I learn it by watching you & your mom. So I have one problem with it. The yarn keeps twisting how do I prevent from twisting yarn when I knit? I've stopped practicing because the yarn kept twisting and it got annoying. So if you could help I would appreciate it. Thank you & I really enjoy your tutorial & live ones too. HAGD. 💕

@cleokoch2764 2 года назад

Marley, love your enthusiasm and pleasantness. I need some help though. I have made socks on dpns previously but wanted to learn the magic Loop method. Found a tutorial by another RU-vidr and was making 2 socks on separate needles. Got down to picking up and reducing stitches and got all screwed up. Had to unravel and rewind 4 socks twice. Wish knew about your lifeline tip before that. I am following your video on dpns now but would like to learn another way. Do you have a video or instructions for the gusset on top down socks on a circular needle? I just love to knit. Something about the feel of those needles in your hands. My first knitting project was a cabled cardigan. Lol. I know. Kinda foolish and challenging but it came out great. For some reason I have been blessed with perfect tension.

@darlenefarmer5921 6 лет назад

Hi...I love this tutorial. I plan to use it in my 2nd pr of socks. Currently working a pr of ankle socks. This is my 1st pair and yes, using 4 double needles. My goal us to make socks matching the quilts that I make. I'm sure I will have questions...thanks

@aidahartmann3473 6 лет назад

@linadamsryt2002 4 года назад

I’m getting ready to try the 3rd time. I’ve got the cast on and the first round of knit only down pat, but I seem to get all twisted up for the second round with ribbing. Any advice you can give is most appreciated! I want to say I tackled socks on DPNs. Glad I found your channel.
