Thank you for sharing this video, it’s really informative and interesting. I love knitting socks and new handbags are only purchased if they have enough room to take my latest sock knitting project. I’ve been knitting socks for years. I was quite ill several years ago and started knitting socks as I found them very therapeutic. Now I mostly knit toe up socks as I find grafting the toes harder to see now, age does that,😢 sigh! 😉 If I do knit top down I knit the toe in garter stitch and do a three needle cast off or cast off using Russian grafting. I do want to try the pointed toe and see how it goes, I know they fit well as a friend almost always does that style and she gifted me a pair of thick winter socks. When I knit a short row heel, either as I go or as a before thought heel I find it helps to increase the number of stitches two rounds before the heel shaping starts or before inserting the spare yarn and the decreasing the same amount two rows after. This gives a bit more width around the heel section. I have also knitted sideways socks. They are fun and knitted in garter stitch for stretch and grip. Nowadays I rarely try to match the socks and often deliberately knit mismatched socks, that’s my daughter-in-laws influence. I think it was StyleCraft yarns who made a sock yarn when one repeat was then length of a complete sock. I knitted one sock starting from the middle of the ball and the second starting from the outside. They are one of my favourite pairs of socks. Have you tried ‘Alice’s Illusion Socks' by Alice Bell? (The pattern is still on line and is free). They are knitted in stripes using two different solid colours in such away that when you tilt them in a certain way you can see a cat with a long tail. If you ever do make them it is better to knit the sole on a size smaller needles. I used two different circular needles. They really are fun to make and fun to wear. Like you I wear my hand knitted socks most of the time because they are so comfortable, especially as summer this year is so late in arriving. Thank you once again for sharing. 🧶 🧦 😅

I am a beginner knitter and want to learn how to make a sweater . Any ideas which channel please ?

Anyone knows a channel to learn how to knit socks for absolute beginner knitter please ?

I love all your socks !!!

Would you please comment on the fit of the fleegle heel? I missed if its a good fit for high arched feet. I definitely do not fit the short row heels and absolutely loved this run down of your experiences! I did try it once, was so disappointed they did not work for me and never tried anything different than heel flap and gusset. I sure hope I can buy your book in english, looks hecka fun to plug in and play!! 🎉

Thanks for this very informative and interesting podcast on sock 🧦 knitting.

What good timing! I’m on my second sock of my very first pair. I’m going pretty basic with a wedge toe and after thought heel. I think the first one fits ok. I will try different heels and toes on others. I knit one with double pointed needles and I’m trying 9” circulars for the other just to see if it affects my gauge or if I like the method better. I had to make the smallest circumference and it seems a little tight to go around the circumference of the 9” needles, but it doesn’t seem to be stretching my stitches. Are your socks a little snug on the shortie circulars? Also what heel do you find to be the best wearing? Or does it mainly just depend on the yarn? Thanks!

My first time on you site, great review on what i love to knit. I have socks that are 10 plus years old, and i even knit new feet for them because i am so bad at mending holes. Do you have a video on mending holes? your darning looks great. Knit On!

Have a look at Ryeland yarn. Sadly, the Ryeland sheep is not the sheep it once was due to breeding, but the yarn from their fleece is still tough, felt resistant + elastic

Oooh, socks! I love 9” circs (DPs toe + gusset pick up), work in tandem (inside + outside of ball/cake). I have high arch, so flap + gusset usually. Tried the Anneh Fletcher heel, didn’t work w yarn/ needles. Must try again though! I have Mina’s sock patterns… forgot (gasp!!!) about those patterns w mini gusset for SR heels. Very curious re the round heel/thumb construction!! I prefer 10 sts/inch for best wear (using US#0/2mm). Learning to prefer non-merino as well, but if make a tighter gauge, may last longer? Yes!!! to BFL for socks! West Yorkshire Spinners, John Arbon’s Exmoor sock yarn, Regia, Schoppel-Wolle (of Zauberball fame), Zitron, Paton’s Kroy are my faves for socks. I still have 20 yr old Regia socks! Yardage per gram is another way to match yarn to needle size. 463y/100g is light fingering (I’ll use 2mm needle) versus 420y (or 440)/100g is heavier fingering; where I’ll use 2.25mm. Which affects stitch counts! Sorry for length of post! It’s just so much fun trying different heels, toes, ribbings, patterns etc! I need to make more short leg socks to play w different heels… Thanks for more sock ideas!

Bonjour, j'aime aussi t'écouter en anglais, et ton "accent" en anglais. C'est bien pour pratiquer les langues. As-tu fait la même vidéo en français ? Bonne journée et bonnes vacances en famille 🏖️

Thanks for this great video! It's fantastic to see how your socks are wearing, and what does and doesn't work for you. I would love to see videos on how to get good fitting socks, and how to work out what you need for a gusset, etc. Will also be really interested to hear if you do experiment with a sock on 2mm needles and the other on 2.25mm to see how it goes. I also wonder if my socks would fit better in some places if I simply switched from 2.25mm down to 2mm...mine feel baggy around my ankle, but I need the width for my instep.

Love love love that, your kids stole your socks !!!

I am a new sock knitter and have already made some discoveries about what best suits my foot: like you, I don't have a preference between 1x1 ribbing and 2x2 ribbing; 2.0mm 9" Chaio Goo circulars are my favorite (switching to DPNs for the toe)...I am a tight knitter, so the 2.0mm gives me a really dense and long-wearing fabric; heel flap and gusset is my default and I always reduce the length of the heel flap to fit my foot, but I will try some other heels at some point; I agree with you that a contrasting color for a heel flap and gusset sock isn't as attractive as using the main color...for me, the cuff and toe get the contrasting colors; if the pattern has texture, I will follow the pattern but will often switch to stockinette for the foot, as I prefer the smooth feel of stockinette over texture (and the foot is always hidden inside the shoe, anyway); I am committed to learning the forethought heel when I get around to using self-striping yarn as that seems to best way to achieve two identical socks. And the forethought heel will look nice with a contrasting color. And finally, my first and only attempt at toe-up was a disaster, so I am sticking with cuff-down. At least until the trauma of the toe-up experience has subsided. 🙂

Thank you! Very good and interesting video.

What kind of nadels are flexi flips? Can you tell us more about it?

Blessings and crochet 🧶👋🏾🤗

I really like so much your videos❤

What size needles do you use. 4 inch, 5 inch

Please help. My measurement is 46cm. So, 46x2=92. According to the pattern,the second bracketed sizes end at 70cm,cm and the third set starts at 124cm. There is no in between. Both these two options are seriously not right for me. What to do.

This is how I knit only can't seem to use middle finger to help

Will a person's knitting ever be constant, uniform and perfect or should I give that dream up and just enjoy that close enough is okay.

Wow. Great, detailed description of everything that is going on! Love it. Thanks!

Thank you Clo, I love your videos. It is easy to listen to you, you make the content very interesting. I have been knitting for years but have learned so many new things from you that has made my knitting easier (less errors!).

you don't have to weave in ends (when you start a new ball of yarn) if you brush the ends of both yarns, wrap them around, wet your hands a little, rub them together and continue knitting...works with all woolly yarns

You are so cute, I'm sold ....going to look for the pattern

You are so beautiful and I loved everything you said !! We are not machines ..... enjoy the process .... only we know that mistake ... don't show .....don't tell :-)

What is the free code for the warm up sweater? Please I can read it on the page description…thank you so much, for all your usefull tips!🌸🌸🌸💗💗💗

Are you using lantern moon needles? How do you like them? What other yarn could you recommend at reasonable price. Thank you !! Looking forward to giving your pattern a try. Just need my yarn.

Thank you so much for this great tips! Regards from Chile😍

Great tips! Please follow soon!

I love Temu and I have had no problems with anything that I have bought from them.

Thank you so much for this tutorial and details. Please continue with more from A to Z knitting videos on making different items and Fair Isle techniques. I am a Continental Knitter. You are an excellent teacher.

Your knitting is beautiful. I would luv to have you do tutorial on tension if you don't mind.

Just want to say I come back to this video several times each day I’m knitting-it’s been a few weeks and I’m almost done with my first sweater. Thank you so much!

I love to knit, crochet and, work on art quilts. I rarely work on summer things specific to the summer season in the summer however.

Thank you very much for your great tutorial. I’am amazed at how simple this one is to knit. I have knit countless numbers of different dishcloths and washcloths but I hadn’t ever tried this technique until a few days ago. My dear family and friends will definitely receive more knit this way. Thanks again 💜

I love summer knits! Using some different wool bland is fun and the pattern are usually so much faster to do and take less yarn. Love it!

I started knitting continental style years ago but could never master purling, so when knitting stocking stitch I have the yarn in my left hand for the knit rows and in my right hand for the purl rows. This seems to work .... but for ribbing I had to resort to right hand yarn. Just now I'm working on a 1x1 rib, and the knit stitches are twisted, so knit into the back of the stitch. This is much easier continental style and after watching your video I have finally worked out how to do the purl stitches much more easily. So a very big thank you!

I wonder what your profession is, too personal a question?

I am dumbstruck by the clarity of the mechanics you explain in how to achieve knitting in the Continental style. As a right handed knitter, I know how to get a lovely even stockinette fabric with stitches sized to the needle but I feel like I have been such a fumblefingers in Continental when I have tried it (and heaven help me with the Continental purl) - until this video. Your clarity of explanations make me think you are a mechanical engineer of needles and yarn and I feel like I have a great basis now to try again seeing what it takes to create your stitches so smoothly. Thank you a thousand times over. Subscribed!

This is a really helpful tension video. The idea of "measuring the stitches" while knitting and your explanation of how and why to do this changed everything for me! Thank you.

Please send me a link to buy you a coffee xx

Done! Finished my first ever sweater in the round and neck down . Many thanks Clo I will definitely be buying you a coffee. Great video - I’ve referenced multiple times. Now on to my second sweater following you instructions but with a few adjustments to suit my figure. Again many thanks x Ps no idea how to load a pic 🤔

Thank you for such a helpful video

I love this type of chit chatty video. It's good to hear what you like and don't like in a summer top. It's fun :)

I like this type of video because we get to see items you've actually made and wear. I prefer to hear about garments that people have made because I want to know if you like them, if you wear them, what you'd do different, etc. To me that's more valuable than the "patterns for summer" style videos where the UA-camr hasn't actually seen or tried the patterns. Hopefully that makes sense lol I also really enjoy videos talking about pattern modifications: how, when, why, what, etc. I feel like following a pattern isn't too difficult, but learning about pattern modification takes a garment to the next level of knitting or crochet

Ya know… I knit and crochet, and I’m starting to see a lot of crochet summer tops lately! I’d make a camisole/bralette style. Crochet (to me) can be so versatile, once you learn what sts to use & how best to use them. I’ve been going thru some old (very old…1980 +/-) magazines/patterns picked up from thrift shops or ???, and there’s a few lace-y tops. I will study them a little more & will modify to suit me, my size etc. Annnnd, crochet uses more yarn than knitting, so I can use more from stash!! I’m interested in cotton/linen or plant fibers for summer knits. Thanks for giving me crochet camisole ideas!

So sorry about your toe, get well soon !!! Thanks for all the summer inspiration !!! My favorite summer top is "Mallorca Top" by Alena Malevitch, A line with a bit of lace, knitted in Trailhead Yarns and Fibre Fundy Tide, a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Linen.

Thank you for a lot of useful tips. I have tried and tried to learn knitting english knitting to be able to carry one color in each hand, and have failed numerous times. I am a continental. Can you point me to a tutorial on how to knit english style? My problem is that i keep loosing the yarn in my right hand
