Oh, this was awesome. You are an amazing teacher. You are the first one that made the lightbulb come on in my head on how to do the kitchener stitch! I’m so happy now. I got so frustrated trying to learn this from other tutorials. Nobody ever mentioned the part about how you know to start with a knit off on the front because of looking at the knit side. And purl off first on other side because you see purl bumps. I don’t know, you just really made it click for me. Thank you so much!
Your teaching skills are amazing. Your videos are detailed and well structured. I’ve been knitting for almost 3 years and it’s the first time I managed to finally get the Kitchener stitch. Thank you!
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for your simple concise instructions. I’ve been doing the Kitchener stitch for awhile. I liked your instruction. I’ve also found another technique without a tapestry needle from VeryPink Knits-Knitting Help- Knit Kitchener Stitch.
Hi Natalie! When you do the kitchener stitch for the toe and heel, are you using the yarn that is attached to work, or cutting a separate piece to seam with? Thank you!
Natalie, I’m noticing that my row gauge is different with different fingering yarn. How do you deal with this for counting rows between heel and toe? Obviously, I could just carry a measuring tape, but I’m wondering if there are any other tips you have.
Hi Heather! You're totally right and that's a really good question! Most of the time I use the same base- a 75% superwash and 25% nylon 4-ply fingering weight. Since a lot dyers use that base, I know I can pretty much rely on my usual 65 round to make my foot! I've noticed that 80/20 bases are a bit fluffier. So with those I might go up a needle size and scale my foot down to 60 or fewer rounds. I hope that helps!

Julie Horner thank you! Yes, I like that one too. In fact, I used it this morning! So great when you don’t have another needle 😊
Thank you so much! You are such a great teacher.
LuLu McD aww thank you so much!
Perfect timing for the toes on my sock snake! THANK YOU.
Rebecca Buck hooray!!! Can’t wait to see them!
Love this tutorial.

Using the attached yarn, just cut a longer tail ☺️
Could I get a link for the sock pattern?
I can do the FLK heel on cuff down socks correct?
karen compton yes! Fish Lips Kiss works great for both cuff down and toe up socks. 😁
I should have known since I have the pattern🤦♀️ thank you😄
karen compton you’re good!! I’m happy to answer questions or clarify. 😁

I think the heel flap and gusset is a much better heel
Bonnie Wright you can definitely add whatever heel works best for you! ☺️
Wow I have alway avoided cuff down socks because of the kitchner. Your explanation just clicked.
Sew Crazy Crafter hooray!!! I’m so, so glad. 😁
I agree! I thought kitchener was difficult before, but it seems so easy now.
@@heatherferguson4075 yay! So glad to help!!
Great! “Socks: debunked and decoded.”
