    This tutorial is the BEST! Knitting socks has always intimidated me a bit, but you make it so easy to follow. I love the way you give the reasons for what you're doing so that the whole project makes perfect sense. Socks make such a wonderful gift! (People are always so impressed!)
    Thank you so much!!

    I was trying to knit a sock for three weeks following written instructions, other videos etc without success!! So frustrating! I then found your tutorials and “got it” straight away. I am thrilled to have just finished my first beautiful sock and am confident enough now to go ahead with the next one!! I cant thank you enough, Jana. Xx

    You are just a natural teacher. I just finished the full series and it makes sense and seems easy to follow. I’m making wash cloths right now because I’m I trying to train myself to continental knitting (so awkward). I keep think muscle memory will kick in, but it hasn’t yet. I’m really excited about learning to make socks, though., so I’ll keep at it. Thank you so much.

    This video tutorial saved my sock! I had purchased a pattern that either didn’t explain the heel turn well enough or was faulty, so I was stuck after knitting the leg. I’m so grateful for your tutorial and also the link to the sock calculator! This morning I finished the second sock, they have both been washed and blocked and are drying on a towel. Can’t wait to wear them in the cold weather we’ve been having. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your terrific tutorial.

However, having followed your instructions, I made my very first pair of wearable socks which I kept for myself and I've since made a great pair for my daughter and now I'm onto a third pair. I'll be looking out for some of your other videos. Thanks again!

    @angelacashmore8286 3 роки тому

    Thank you sooooo much for your amazing videos, I have found yours by far the easiest to follow & to say I'm ridiculously pleased with my little self having just completed my very very first ever sock (complete with your easy to do Kitchener stitch) is an understatement. I was gifted a book & some sparkly blue wool at Christmas & I put off making a start until I'd read the book, faffed about, cast on & made a real pigs ear out of my first few rows, pulled it all out & almost gave in..............then I followed your videos & yippeeeee, I am now the oh so proud owner of my first sock. Guess who will be casting on for its matching little number this evening. I wish to admit.....I think I am an addict in the making, I already have several new balls of wool for more socks after this. I somehow don't think I'm alone huh?? xxxx

    Thank you, Janet for putting this series up. I knit my FIRST pair of socks! And thank you for mentioning the book "Custom Socks" by Kate Atherley. My first attempt was too large, then with the help of this book I was able to size correctly. Your tutorials helped me understand the terminology in the book. (I am not used to using patterns.) You made it so easy.

    • @PurlTogether

    This is a great video. I started my first sock a few years ago with my neighbour teaching me. That heel was very scary as she walked me through it. I moved away before I got to the toe .... then it sat in my knitting box. I pulled it out today because I hate keeping unfinished projects. Before I saw this video I thought I’m going to have to find a one legged person to give it to because I didn’t think I would be able to do the 2nd sock by myself. But I am totally encouraged to finish sock one and carry on to start and complete sock #2 after seeing this video. Thank you.

    • @PurlTogether

    I love your video....I have been trying to finish three pair of socks which are now at the toe stage and could not figure out the kitchner stitch for the longest time. I took two sock classes years ago and have been dragging my feet (pun intended!) to finish two of the pair of socks til I could figure out the kitchner stitch. Thank you for your clear instructions in this video!

And it took me awhile but I just completed my second sock. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us all. But especially me. I learned oh so many things doing this project. I wish I could add a picture for you. PS listen to everything she says...she knows better, than you.

    I wish I could post a picture of my sock. Lol I have been a knitter for years but never tackled socks. My spouse gave me the strangest look when I told him it was on my bucket list. I bought a bunch of sock knitting books and decided on the pattern “Road to Oslo” from a Nancy Bush book. Although it was a different pattern, when I started the heel flap, turning, etc. I needed a little extra help. Your videos made my sock a success. Thank You! 😁

    I picked up one more stitch on the gusset. I missed how you can fix that. Can you explain that for me.Thanks so much!

    • @PurlTogether
      @PurlTogether  4 роки тому

      When you're alternating your decrease round with a plain round for the gusset decreases, just do an extra decrease on the side with the extra one, to get back down to your original cast on number of stitches. Then carry on with knitting the foot. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and subscribing!

    I really enjoyed your teaching of making socks, I have been making socks for a few years now but really like the magic loop! What size is the needles and yarn, please? Thank you so very much!!

    • @PurlTogether
      @PurlTogether  2 роки тому +1

      What size yarn and needles depend upon the fabric you'd like to create. Most people prefer smaller diameter needles and yarn for socks, so they're not too bulky. Fingering weight yarn and anywhere from 2.0mm - 2.75mm needles. (US 0-2) The size of needles will depend your individual tension and style of knitting. I would suggest that you check out my more recent, updated tutorial here

    I just finished one sock aS per your turtorial... I think I made my heel too tall, forgot which way I was supposed to decrease a couple times but happy with my toe. Now I'm gonna do like you say and put one on while I finish the other. It won't be long as I have been knitting them at the same time. Started out both on circular needle then got confused...

      I don't think you can post pictures here, but you can certainly join us over on Facebook or Ravelry. Just search for Purl Together groups over there! Thanks for watching

    Really enjoyed your tutorial. I've ordered the book by Nancy Bush. I've also put in a request to join the Facebook group.
