    The EarthtonesGirl Podcast Present:
    NO FEAR SOCK KNITTING CLASS ONLINE
    Class 6: The Foot & The Toe
    NO FEAR SHORTY SOCK PATTERN:
    www.ravelry.co...
    In today's class we are going I'm going to cover the foot length and making adjustments, "knitting to desired length" and what that means and toe decreases both wedge and round.
    I also cover other topics like, dye lots, washing and blocking socks and adjusting toe decreases for the shape of your foot.
    As I stated in the video there is going to be a separate tutorial for the Kitchener stitch, which is the weaving technique used to close the toe of the sock.
    As always if you have any questions, let me know but I do suggest watching the video, maybe more than once, practicing the steps, taking deep breaths and going slowly. You can do this!!!! Trust me!!
    Upcoming Classes:
    Class 7: Two At A Time - March 14
    There will be bonus tutorial videos added along with way.

    I never leave comments on UA-cam videos but I have to get on here and say THANK YOU!! I’ve been knitting for 15 years and always avoided socks because they seemed scary or intimidating. I’ve heard people talk about how fun they are or how easy they are to take and knit on the go but I’ve always thought those people were crazy. How could something so complicated and intensive be fun or easy to take with you?! I get it now!! So fun and not nearly and scary or complicated as it imagined them being, now that I know the method for them. I so appreciate the time you’ve taken to really break it down, explain the process, and demonstrate how the whole thing works together and why. After watching this video I’m doing my toe and will have finished my very first sock! I’m completely thrilled! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping troubleshoot some of the sticky spots and things that seasoned sock knitters don’t think about anymore. I feel like with the tools and know-how you given here, I could successfully knit any good sock pattern. Thank you!

    Great teacher! You made an aha moment for me. Your little demo heels. That’s genius to just learn heels, fit heels, etc. And now I see I will be making the same little demo toes to fit. Helpful also to gift knit success fit and feel first try. I am newly enthused. Thanks again.

    Omg! You are the first person I have ever seen explain on their own toe! Girl, thank you sooo much!!! I've been starting most of mine a little too soon and getting annoyed almost every time because I have to add extra plain rounds between my decreases..each video I watch you bring a whole new understanding for me. I've switched to your soxploration heel for almost everything now, and now I can switch up the toe. Thank you again!

    Thank you once again Denise for a wonderful tutorial. If anyone is interested the Sox Therapist on ravelry has a pattern for the fish lips kiss heel. But the most amazing part is that in her pattern she includes a tutorial on how to draw your foot on a piece of paper to give you the exact measurement for where to start your toe decreases. I've used this method for myself, my husband and my daughter and it works like magic.

    Ugh! I jumped the gun and didn’t wait tell I watched this video. Got ahead of myself thinking I was doing ok. Had to frog my toe section! Well twice in fact. First time I dropped a stitch. Next I started watching this video and I’d missed the part of moving the marker and my toe decreases were not going to be in the correct place in relation to the heel! Thanks again for these videos. I have learned so much and continuing to learn. I know I’ll soon be making the perfect socks for my sensitive fat feet 😹

    @cdiegor902 3 роки тому +2

    Thank you so much for your videos! My first time to knit socks and your tutorials are just easy to understand.
    I do have a question though - in doing the Gusset, at the part where you start decreasing, there's a portion where you knit through the back loop. Do you do this on all rounds where you decrease or just the first round where you need to close the 'big holes'? I'm at that part after the first round of resting knits and I had to pause as I wasn't sure because you didn't mention it on the video. Would appreciate your feedback! Thanks again :)

It looked very uncomfortable but thanks for your humble demonstration of actual foot for this lesson. As I said before, I have been knitting for several years and have knitted many a sock but I so enjoy your teaching and understand very well what you are teaching. But, I'm also picking up some new pointers, tricks, new tecnics, etc with the knitting of socks. Thank you for your joyous self. Barbara Smith

    Hey Denise, thanks for such an amazing and helpful series! I’m having a bit of a problem and hoping you’d be able to help me… I’m starting the toe exactly where you say on the crease of the little toe. Once the sock is finished and tried on, the start of the toe has ridden up to the top of the toe next to the little one. Do I need to increase toe length by keeping on with the alternate knit and decrease rows?

      In the first class I go into detail about different sock yarns and how to pick needles. That should help you when figuring out what yarn to use. Right now I don’t have plans to cover other types of yarn in a specific video but do mention different weights of yarn in various podcast episodes.

    I really love your videos, but am confused ....what about if you are doing the magic loop with one needle? Is there another video showing how to do that? I may have missed a video toward the beginning where you explain this! But these last two videos are a bit confusing since you also show the magic loop along side, I'd hoped that this method would work for me -but so far, I've just switched my knitting around and am still in "profile"!!

    • @EarthtonesgirlPodcast
      @EarthtonesgirlPodcast  2 роки тому

      I provide instructions for both 2 circular needles as well as magic loop. Most of my tutorials have instructions for both in a single video. If the technique is a bit more involved then I have a separate video for each method.

    @alenakelly5203 2 роки тому

    Finished my first sock!! I noticed that the toe area is a little snug for the length of my toes. How do I lengthen the toe? I probably need to add more rows but am not sure where that should happen. Is it in the foot area -- that is, don't start my decreases at the crease of the little toe and go a little further? Or is is someplace else?

    • @EarthtonesgirlPodcast
      @EarthtonesgirlPodcast  2 роки тому

      I"m sorry to hear the toe was not deep enough. You can start the toe decreases a bit sooner, just before the crease of the little toe or even further back if needed. You can also add an extra round between the decrease rounds. That will also give you more room. Let me know how it goes.

    • @EarthtonesgirlPodcast
      @EarthtonesgirlPodcast  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Jennifer, I absolutely understand how scary that can feel right now. But you’re fine, you’re going to have to move your stitches around again. You have to rip back one stitch to the previous needle. Your yarn will be on the left side still but when you turn your work around the working yarn will be back on the right and in the correct position to continue Knitting. I hope that makes sense... if not let me know.

    Good Lord! You can knit incredibly quickly. I knit like a snail. But, as you have said more than once ‘comparison is the thief of joy’. It’s my new mantra. I’m still knitting these socks, getting there very slowly but learning lots along the way and enjoying every stitch I knit. Thank you for these videos, they are fabulous 😀👍🥰🙏.

    Hi Denise, thank you so much for these videos. I am loving the challenge of working on my first pair of socks. I have a question for you. I want to keep track of the number of rows that I knit. Where do I start counting rows from? Where I stopped decreasing to get back to the original 64 stitches? Thank you so much once again.

      Hi Paula,
      Thanks so much for your message and for watching my Tutorials. I created a sock pattern, No Fear Shorty Sock, that is an accompaniment to this series. There is a link to it in the description box. It is designed for the beginner and again designed to follow along with this series. It is a lot easier to knit, along with the pattern and videos than just the videos by themselves, although that is an option as well. It will also answer your questions and you can use the pages for notes regarding counting, etc.

    I have to knit the foot of my sock to just above the separation between my big toe and 2nd toe. I have very tapered and long toes. I would end up starting 3 inches away from the top of my big toe if I started toe decreases at the base of my little toe. I think that falls under the experimental phase of sock knitting.

    • @EarthtonesgirlPodcast
      @EarthtonesgirlPodcast  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Chiaretta,
      Yes, you have to continue decreasing down to 20 stitches, 10 on the front and 10 on the back to do the Kitchener stitch. But as I said in the video if you need to make adjustments to make the toe deeper or shorter you may do so. This will affect the number of stitches you have at the end. But as long as you have the same number on the front needle and on the back needle you can still do the Kitchener stitch.

    I noticed that my gauge was a bit tighter doing the heel, turn and gusset, maybe "a bit" is understated. Went from an 8 to 9-10. Would you just change needle size if that started to happen. I tried to lighten it up, but ... Maybe when I do more it won't happen. Any suggestions?

    • @EarthtonesgirlPodcast
      @EarthtonesgirlPodcast  4 роки тому

      Sometimes gauge can change in the middle of a project. You may want to try going up a needle size and then going back to the original needle size after the gusset is complete.
      I also think, as you said, it won't happen after a bit more practice. But in the mean time that's an option.

      @@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thanks. It was a great video. I just finished the sock, I also love Kitchener stitch and have used it on other things! The sock was a bit small, maybe the heel a bit tight, since I used yarn I don't really like I'll try one 1's instead of 0"s (saving my beautiful sock yarn until I get this down). I have done the after thought heel but never get my socks to fit correctly so have been very discouraged. I'm sticking with this until I have it down. I did buy the Fish kiss pattern and as soon as I have someone to help with it I'll make the pattern. Thanks again, You're awesome for doing this for us. I've been knitting for over 35 years and always put socks off because of the fit. NO MORE! I'm ready to figure it out. Thanks!

    The large yarn companies have die lot numbers on the individual balls. Die lots are close but they may not be close enough to not show when you go from one die lot to another. When I learned to knit in the 50s patterns stated that you should buy all your yarn in one die lot to keep from having slight color changes that show in your work.

If you put from the left side and do it till last 10 cm, you only have to give your needle a tok and it's ok then and easier! Perhaps you'd like to try? I love yousr videos, it's very good each time!
