Love the sweater you are wearing. Also, it is a really pretty decrease. It might work with texture patterns to continue stuff already going on (or am I being ignorant)? I also wonder whether this spiral could be worked the other way with knit-two together? Kind of an idle wonder. I actually like ssk better than knit two together. I don't know why; it just works better on my needles and in my hands. I am a blunt-toed person--I joke that I have cubical feet. But I didn't like the short-toed result. Would it wear into shape? Oh, the middle one then! Thanks. And I love that this toe came from late 1800s. btw Keep those old socks and stockings coming!
I was with ya until you moved that marker a SECOND time. Interesting. This toe might be for the knitting scholar, tho i love listening to you explain it.
If you focus on reading the existing decreases then you can do away with the markers altogether. It's more to illustrate where those spirals are moving.
@@christineboyce988 i would just divide the hat into however many sections i want and knit spirals in those sections. The engineering of a modification is the best part of knitting...
Oh Roxanne hehehe you won’t believe this: recently I got my garments (knee highs for day and night and capris) for lymphedema. The night time knee highs are quilted material and toe less so I’ve been stretching my socks over….. I NEED these toe socks ( your samples are perfect)!!! 😳😀🧶
Hi Roxanne, I am hoping that you would consider making a video to explain pattern repeats. I’ve been looking at lace patterns recently. You are given the number of stitches that form the pattern then there are extra stitches, for example “ worked on a multiple of 8 plus 11” I don’t understand why we would have the extra 11 stitches. I’ve looked through your existing videos I can’t find anything that deals with this. Thank you Julie Clifford
I did a series of videos that explained how to convert written patterns for flat knitting to knitting in the round. Those videos explain how the multiples work. You can find the playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PL1AZxTfSCe2dHxQlwJafAVnZi6jvPVZS0.html
Thank you fot these different toe construction and for the work sheets. I seem to have difficulties to access this work sheet , is there a code ? I am curious to see how they will feel when wearing them.
I make a lot of socks for charities and I've struggled with the choice of sock toe. I feel that a gathered (not grafted) rounded toe fits a wide variety of foot shapes. What's your opinion on that, Roxanne?
If you're not knitting for a specific person, then a round toe or a wedge toe can work equally well. When knitting for a specific person, you'll find that both work find, but either one may need to be modified to fit a specific recipient perfectly,
The problem is that k2tog move right, while the direction of knitting is to the left. You might run into trouble when the spiral reaches the end of its section and needs to move to the next section at the EOR/BOR transition. It's worth trying it out on a swatch to see if you can make it work, or if it's more of a headache than it's worth.
im curious if you have found this toe method has any particular fit benefits? it's so fascinating how many different ways there are to make a toe and how different methods were popular at different times and places. we're do lucky to have the benefit of the history combined with amazing people like you who document and share!
It's very similar to the round toe or the other spiral toe. One benefit (for some knitters) is no grafting. Another is that if you work the final few decrease rounds sequentially (no plain rounds) it can fit a variety of toe shapes.
Have you tried on any of those toes to see which you prefer? I have rather wide, flat feet so I usually go with more of a wider wedge type toe but who knows, other constructions might work just as well.
I can typically wear any type of toe. I might have to modify it to fit my toe shape, so I will do that. Sometimes I choose the toe based on what I feel like knitting, knowing that I can modify it for my toe length.

Loved watching and learning this Roxanne, thank you!
Excellent demo. Thank you.
thanks Roxanne

That sock toe would be cool on a hat in the round!

I’m going to figure out how to spiral to the right. Then do one sock left, the other right.
Report back on that! It seemed to me that spiraling to the right might be tricky when crossing to the section at the BOR/EOR transition.
So far, it’s straightforward, but fiddly. (I’ve done a sample). I’ll try on actual socks now.
I completed them. It was fairly easy to do the right spiral.
Thank you. I had wondered if that was a possibility.

So interesting! I am fairly new to sock knitting and have a real wide foot. Being able to make a wider toe box sounds promising!
Thanks Rox!
Great podcast thank you

@@RoxanneRichardson ok thanks. I was obviously looking on the wrong place. Thanks for the help
I’ve watched the videos you recommended. They are very helpful. Thanks again Julie C
Thank you fot these different toe construction and for the work sheets. I seem to have difficulties to access this work sheet , is there a code ? I am curious to see how they will feel when wearing them.
I choose Google to obtain the sheets. First you have to request access. I guess an email will be sent. I just sent a request
I set up the access privileges incorrectly. You should be able to get in now.

K2tog moving 1 st earlier would do a right leaning twist, correct?
The problem is that k2tog move right, while the direction of knitting is to the left. You might run into trouble when the spiral reaches the end of its section and needs to move to the next section at the EOR/BOR transition. It's worth trying it out on a swatch to see if you can make it work, or if it's more of a headache than it's worth.
Could use them to do mirrored zig-zags alternated around the sock or hat tip...
One question: why does the spiral have to go to the left? Can it not also go right?
(having both feet the same would make my toes feel twisted!)
@@jjperry164 it can go right, will have possible issues with end of row / beginning of row.
im curious if you have found this toe method has any particular fit benefits?

What a cool look for a toe! I bet it would be cute as the top of a mitten, too.
I bet it would!

@@RoxanneRichardson Good to know, thanks Rox. Always nice to be able to do modifications to make something more enjoyable too :)
Thank you very much. Going to try this technique.
I always love your sock videos.
Cool! I will try this sometime .
