The EarthtonesGirl Podcast Presents:
NO FEAR SOCK KNITTING CLASS ONLINE
Class #1: Getting Started
In today's class we are going to cover all the basics you will need to get stared on your sock knitting journey. There were so many questions about needles, yarn and supples that I thought it best to address this first so everyone would be prepared and ready to start sock knitting in the next class.

When you say "No one wants to see my whole stash of yarn" I'm over here like uhhh yes yes we do 😅😅 seeing yarn makes my heart happy.
LOL!
Mmm. I was wanting to see her yarn too. Oh I was disappointed when she said no one...,. Because I do. Please show us the yarn.
This made me laugh
I’m onboard too😂
Guess that makes me a no one! I do too!!!! 😂😂😂
My broke butt is delighted these sock knitting classes are free. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your skills.
You and I both! I had to retire early to take care of my husband. I normally sew all the time but I have been knitting and crocheting since I was 7 years old. I’m almost 60 and started making socks about 12 years ago... I still have trouble with the kitchener stitch🤦🏽♀️. New subscriber here! Thank you so much!!!
OMG right? Thanks to all the awesome people who provide free tutorials on UA-cam. Ex: My friends were getting $800 hair extensions but not me. UA-cam Learn for free! I started a craft channel of my own, but will not link here bcs that's not why I'm here. I'm so grateful for this tutorial and happy that a woman of color is giving it!
@@ladypinkbagsetc.9116 check out the finchley graft, I prefer it to kitchener
Hey precious little broke butt!! I needed a laugh today, and wala, there you were.
@@kat1984 I was going to say the same! Someone told me about the finchley graft and I haven’t given the Kitchener stitch another 👀. 😋
Just made my first pair of socks using four double pointed needles 😅. I’m so flipping proud of myself.
Me too!!!!
This video has been up 2 years now. I just found it and first class and I'm floored by the amount of information I didn't know and I've knit 10+ pairs of socks. Thank you dearly for your knowledge and sharing it!
I must have Subscribed a while ago!
And got Chicken of making socks and I instead dived into making Hats because it seems easier to do. But I'm back now and I'm ready to try this! Thank Denise for your Tutorial on how to do this!
Please consider setting up a Ko-fi account for those of us who are in a position to support your valuable content & efforts directly.
Denise, I second Bernadette Macias’ recommendation!
I was hoping you had the kofi set up!
Yes! I would gladly pay for this. I honestly can’t believe she’s doing it for free.
I really, really appreciate this class for free. As a fairly new knitter, I found it so hard to find answers to my questions, particularly concerning sock techniques; heel placements, heel types, how to not make my cuff so tight I can't get my new sock easily. Trial and error have gotten me along so far, but having things like available is just wonderful!! Thank you so very much!
My favourite way of getting socks to not be too tight to get over my heel is to cast on double the stitches required, then for the first row work into every other loop. You end up with lots of stretch and a slightly scalloped edge. If you don,t want the scallop then knit and purl two stitches together across the whole first round.
I just wanted to say, thank you for making this a free class, it is absolutely amazing and many of us re grateful even 2 years later your reaching many knitters!!!
Big hugs :)
You are so welcome!
I have a feeling that you will make my dream of becoming a sock knitter a reality. I love your podcast. Thank you Denise!
One of my 2023 knitting goals is to make real socks. Thank you for making this class available and free to boot! (And I just subscribed!)
So excited to start knitting socks the "right way". I'm a self-taught knitter and still learning along the way. I love that you are doing this series!! Thank you so much!
It is one year later and I just found your sock knitting class. Thank you.
Denise, you are a great teacher, this was just the intro class and it was jammed packed with interesting and wonderful sock knitting tips,thank you!
I have created a playlist entitled "sock class" for all of these episodes. Thought it would help
Sandra Can you share your list?
What a great idea.
I love your "useless informations" and your general information is enormously helpful to talk Sock knitting. This class will be so cool and you are such a nice person and as a teacher you are speaking very clear and understandable, even for me as a German. Thank you, Denise!
Yes, I love 'useless information' too! Especially when it's on the history of knitting
Seriously! I'm so glad I found this!!! every time I had a question you answered it. I've wanted to make socks forever and a lot of the "beginner" friendly videos were not detailed enough for me. You are an incredible teacher. I know you created this FOREVER ago, I just wanted you to know it's still helping and I'm so thankful for you.
Hi Tori, thank you so much for watching. I am so glad that you found my little corner of the web also! Even though it was made forever ago, I do hope that you find the information and lessons helpful. Happy Sock Knitting!
Knitting socks 2 at a time is a life saver for me. It gives me 2 socks with the same tension throughout, which also means they’re generally to same size I’m just finding you 4years after you began these classes. I’ll slap the algorithm around later. Despite knitting since before the turn of the century, I’ve started approximately 30 socks. I’ve finished 2 pair. I’m forever finding different ways of making socks. This has prevented me from truly learning a single method. 😂
Hi, Love your voice and you're an excellent teacher. I have been knitting socks for years, there is always something to learn.
Looking forward to following your instructions.
I just want to say that I unfortunately just found you today and am starting to binge watch your sock series! You are such a good teacher, you explain extremely well and are detail oriented which I LOVE!!!!! I subscribed to your channel as well because I just can't see my knitting life evolving without you!
Thank you so much for this sock class! I love and have knit socks before, but I am looking forward to learning new techniques and tips from you. I have been away from knitting for over ten years and just within the last two weeks have gotten back into it. I have been binge-watching knitting podcasts and am so very happy to have found you just this past week. I recently went through my old stash of yarn and have a bunch of sock yarns! I sure hope sock yarn does not have a "shelf life" and that it is all still good to use. I might however treat myself to some new needles. Thanks again Denise, this is such a great opportunity. Hugs :)
Omg!!! I see this is from like 2yrs ago, right now I'm only just starting my sock knitting journey!!
How incredible to find these wonderful skill building videos, and bits at a time, terminology and everything to know about socks. Thank God!! ❤❤❤❤
What a natural teacher! I’ve just come from my Wednesday night knitting group and the discussion was about sock knitting. I am now forwarding this to everyone in the group. Thank you for doing this. Even though I am a long time knitter, there is ALWAYS something new to learn.....the tips alone are fabulous!! Thank you again!
I was determined to learn to make socks this year (2022) and I did it! Thankfully, I found your No Fear Socks tutorials. I loved how patient you were. It is obvious that you care very much about teaching others. I took my time and completed a pair of socks for my hubby which he wears proudly. I'm getting ready to knit a pair for myself now. Thank you very much!!
I have tried and tried to knit socks - for some reason, I just can't do it. I've knit mittens, scarves, hats, cowls, even a sweater, but socks just haven't happened. This spring, I am determined, when I found Needles at the Ready and they recommended the course, I stopped their podcast, opened a new tab and found you. Hooray. Now, my stitch markers are non removable. Amazon can have the right ones here by tuesday. I'm off to shop. This is a year late but the magic of UA-cam is that it's new to me. Sort of a library of videos. Thank you SO much.
At this point, I'm watching this 2 years after she posted, I am enjoying it so much! The history of same of the yarns, i am more an intermediate knitter and I really want to knit socks and so far I'm loving these videos! Thank you so much for making them!
Thank you so much for doing a free class! Your voice is so calming and your a great teacher and I’m excited to learn more about making socks!
I made a commitment to start knitting on November 1, 2021 and I just found this video today! Wow! I've got a lot of catching up to do! I usually crochet! Can't wait to knit my first pair of socks! Girl, I resonate with your enthusiasm! Thank you so very MUCH!!
You are so very welcome Shari!!! Happy Sock Knitting!!!
I discovered Class 13 first and thought maybe I should follow along from the beginning to ensure I learn as much as I can. I am bound and determined to actually learn to knit socks this year (2023). I have everything I need to start but other projects (hats, sweaters, charity work) always seem more important. I guess I'm procrastinating a wee bit. I am so grateful that you are dedicated to helping others learn all the tips and tricks for sock knitting. You are very thorough teacher which is highly appreciated. Thank you so much!
You are teaching this like I would teach sewing. Get good tools, set the beginners up for success! I love your way of teaching! Thank you! ❤
Thanks SO much for doing this Denise! I've been knitting socks for a long time, but I'm excited to learn some new techniques and tips. Love your channel. ❤️💕❤️💕
New subscriber here. I’ve never made socks and there’s plenty of “tutorials” and information out there for socks but not you can follow along with
so this is perfect for first time sock knitters. I know some terminology of sock knitting but I don’t have the confidence to start a pair. This idea is exciting to me. X
Oh my goodness, Earth Tones Girl! I am so sorry I missed this is February (I am studying to be a Buddhist Chaplain and was taking many classes and barely knitting). But I have found you now and I am very excited! ❤️🐑❤️🐑❤️. I am a very long time knitter but have not knitted many pairs of socks. I found this video very informative and plan to buy your pattern and follow along with your videos! Thank you for doing this! For bringing so much kindness and ease into the world! Beautiful! I found you by watching The Woolly Thistle. I love the yarn, too, and think it is beautiful!!! ❤️🐑❤️🐑❤️
Yay!!!! Thank you, Denise!! 👍😃
I’ve been knitting socks 🧦 for several years but you can always learn more, interested to see how these classes go.
I’m so glad I discovered you! 🤗❤️
I just found you 🙂 Thank you SO MUCH for offering free classes. You are a WONDERFUL teacher!
Just finished the gusset on my first sock! Now on to the toe! I love sock knitting!
Yippee!!! I'm so thrilled to be with you on no fear sock knitting :) You are amazing, thank you.
So excited I found your tutorial class. No fear class, can't wait until the next one. I'm determined to knit socks! Thank you so much for all your help.
It is so refreshing having someone with a nice clear but not harsh voice and not throwing herself around. It puts you off watching them. I loved this video and cannot wait to start knitting along with you. I love your voice and sense of humour, what a great teacher you are, thank you so much for teaching us newbies xx
Awww. thank you so much....
Yes,please I don't know much about different sock yarn ,Your information help me a lot to understand .Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this class for free.
I am new to your podcast and so excited about this class! One of my personal goals for 2020 is to learn to knit socks! I can’t wait to get started. Thank you! 💕
I’m LOVING your show!!!!
Bless you for putting this together. So excited to take part.
One word: nostepinne!! I agree that winding yarn by hand is tactile and I consider it the beginning of the project. I like to wind mine with a beautiful nostepinne. I'm looking forward to following your classes, this one was great.
I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what that word was or even meant. So I looked it up and ordered one immediately!!!!!! Thank you SO much for sharing that with us!!! I'm so excited!!!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast So glad! Mine is special to me because I bought it at a fiber festival from a local woodworker. Knit on!
I just found you! You're voice is lovely and soothing, and you explain things well. I'm going to listen to this again to help decide on equipment and yarn. Thanks so much!
Love, Love, Love your videos! You are such a wonderful teacher! Thanks again! ❤️
Woohoo!!! Enjoyed watching your podcast and waiting eagerly to get started. Thanks again for sharing your information with us 😍
I have to laugh at how terminology changes. I called yarn, like the Kroy, a skein of yarn. The Legacy Fiber Arts would be hank. The hank would have to be wound into a ball. either on a yarn winder or 'by hand'.
I am SO excited to have stumbled upon this class! I’ve been knitting for several years but I don’t really have any enthusiasm for knitting socks-but I want to! There are so many beautiful sock patterns and yarn out there. I want to try again and hopefully learn to love it. Thank you so much!
Denise, you are wonderful! Thank you for offering this sock class. I am so excited!
So excited to be watching this podcast and cannot wait for future programs
I’ve enjoyed the intro, lots of good information. Looking forward to your pattern and class
You are wonderful. I can’t wait to start learning from you. Thanks so much.
"Yarn chicken". Now I know what it's called when I'm guessing whether I can finish my row with the yarn I have (lol). New subbie here. Looking forward to making my first pair of socks...
So happy you are doing this!!! Thank you
You are wonderful! I can’t wait to start.
My first time seeing your podcast n lucky me cause I just made my first pair of socks so finding you n this class at the right time. You talked about needles but I never heard you say what size to get. I used us2 last time also where to get the pattern. I did not see a link for that. Thanks n I'm excited!
Needle size depends on your gauge
Denise: For those of us who don't use Instagram, will you let us know when you have bags for purchase on UA-cam? Looking forward to this class!! Thanks for your time and knowledge!!
I know there are a lot of people not on IG and I totally understand that! YES!! I will make sure announcements for bags will be made here on UA-cam too!!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thank you so much!!!
Your hard work is so appreciated! Thanks so much ❤️😊
New subscriber. Long time crafter and learned to knit at 7 years old, I am 61 now. I have wanted to learn to knit socks for awhile now. Excited to learn.
Welcome to my channel!! I'm so happy you're here!!!
Thanks for doing this. Can I use a 9” circular needle instead of doing magic loop?
Yes you absolutely can!!! Just keep in mind that I’m not going to really be covering that specific method. But you should be able to follow along the general sock knitting instructions.
so generous of you to share all your expertise. thanks.
All knowledge is going to be helpful to all eventually. Keep up sharing your hands on experience and knowledge❤.

Loved all your great tips on different types of needles, yarn and tools. Great teacher and intro can't wait to start knitting socks with you. Enjoyed the way you break down the anatomy of a sock. Thanks again.
Ok, I am getting all my material together so I can start to knit my first pair of socks. And thank you for sharing and walking us through this, I have been knitting for about 2 years and it is a love hate relationship. I am so scared of messing it up or get frustrated and throw it across the room, but, practice is the only way to be come proficient at it. So I am jumping head first and can't wait to mess up and learn from it instead of running away, this is all because of you. Thank you again.
Love your enthusiasm! Can't wait for the rest ;-)
So glad I found you! You are a fantastic teacher. Can’t wait to get started
