I've been machine knitting for years and making socks and I've watched quite a few sock making videos. I wanted to tell you that yours is exceptional! You are very, very clear with your instructions and calm in your movements and your camera work is great. I love the way you do your cuffs for this sock and most importantly, your pattern generator is wonderful! I just found your channel and I'm excited to see what you do next. Its fabulous to see a young person machine knitting!!! You go gurl!
I had NO IDEA you could do circular knitting on a flat knitting machine with ribber!!! This makes me so happy and excited! Will definitely be trying this once I've gotten the ribber to attach 😊
1 yr ago and I finally found this video! Can't tell you how many others I watched. You did a beautiful job explaining the steps, and finally , I made my first machine knit sock! Thank you so much!!!😊
As in your previous video making socks with your KH910/KR850 ( great machines I have the same models) when you reach the toe, just short row like you did with the heel, then there is no need to decrease while forming the toe, take off with waste yarn and kitchener closed 😀
I'm just beginning to learn, using a machine I'm bringing back to life (just awaiting new sponge), and these are definitely going onto my to-do list. Your style is lovely, calm, and very clear. Thank you.
thanks you saved me a trip to Ravelry asking about short rowing heels while circular knitting on Japanese double beds. I intuited to drop the ribber bed and change out the ribber arm with the sinker plate and that's what you did here. I did make socks before though on the Superba/White 1602 and that needed no changing of sinker plate because they simply don't have one :) But I did drop the bed for them.
Oh, by the way, consider short rowing where you bring out the first needle on each pass, this way you don't have to wrap any stitches. :) It works great. Auto-wraps itself. Diana Sullivan brought this technique to my mind as that's what she does all the time. Same thing with The Answer Lady Knits (Katherine).
This is a fantastic video but I'm just a little confused by the step around 2:30 where you rehang the cast on edge. Is this to make a hem? and I take it you don't rehang the waste yarn, just your working yarn, right? Thanks for everything else being so easy to understand
Yes, this is to make the hem and you only want the main yarn not the waste yarn. If you're new to socks, you may want to start with this beginner tutorial ua-cam.com/video/LaQAucW3_3c/v-deo.html
Can't tell you how much I appreciate the engineering mind with the calculators built into your patterns on your website. However, just wanted to let you know that the RC numbers do not change according to rows per inch. I was trying to adjust for my bulky machine and had to manually calculate those. Thanks for the video and the website. Looking forward to trying more of your patterns.
do you think one could make a circular sweater on a knitting machine? the under arm decreases are the problem... I guess one could only work the front and put the back om standby and viceversa... 🤷🏻♂️
I use a brother 836 standard gauge, followed your instructions, dropped the ribber one notch but still ended up the end main bed needles are ridiculously stretched - might you know why? I took photos but don't know how to upload them, sorry.
Hello, thank you for your video. Just wondering, when you rehang your cuff, are you pulling up pearl "bars" that are above or below the waste yarn? Thank you.
Hi there. Have you any idea why every time I knit this sock I get a hole either side of the heel? I'm definitely wrapping the needle in hold on every row!
I had the same issue, it happens when you dont wrap the thread around the first needle when you're doing the decreases. Look closely at how she wraps and copy.
I cannot for the life of me get the zigzag cast on to work. It's extremely tight and the ribber keeps dropping stitches halfway through. It's a Singer Memomatic with a Studio ribber. Any clue what could be happening?
@ thank you this was good advice! Fun fact I guess: looking through the manual, the Singer machine I have at least, you have to do the zigzag row with the ravel cord. Did that and all is happy again!
Yes, I'm using a Brother 910 with AYAB. It does most of what I need it to do but the sensors on my machine have some issues that I had to work around in the firmware. I'm an engineer so half of the joy of this hobby is working with the software. There are, however, plenty of non-technical people who get along fine with AYAB. Check out the Facebook group if you're interested.

Lovely and much easier than hand knitting. ❤️
greatest ever!!!❤making my own.socks, so simply had been my dream so long!!

Those are so cool. I love those. These knitting machines are so cool. I'm very intimidated by them, lol, but they are very cool

You still have to wrap when going back up again, so 6 of one I guess. You do you, Boo.
@@19Celia57 no wrapping required.
Your video is extremely helpful! Thank you! Can't wait to try it!
thanks a lot for your detailed explanation~ love the video's peaceful vibe btw

Well dang. I need to try this now.
Thank you for such complete instructions. I have tried this myself and managed to mess us multiple times. Hopefully, not any more!!!!!

Looks like there's a bug in the pattern. I'm going to try to get it fixed today. Sorry about that!
Should be fixed now, let me know if it's working for you!
Really excellent video! Thank you.
Thank you! Great video and I love the yarn!
Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for a great video!
Thanks! Great job.
I’ve tried twice but I keep dropping the stitches on the bottom bed whilst trying to to the folded hem 😩 any tips?
do you think one could make a circular sweater on a knitting machine? the under arm decreases are the problem... I guess one could only work the front and put the back om standby and viceversa... 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome 👏
Brilliant thankyou so much
Thanks. That was awesome.
I just now went to your website and was thrilled to see the patterns. Will you be adding a yoke sweater, perhaps with a raised back neckline?
very nice
Do you ever knit socks flat without using the ribber bed? Thank you 😊
Molto belli

Hello, thank you for your video. Just wondering, when you rehang your cuff, are you pulling up pearl "bars" that are above or below the waste yarn? Thank you.
I'm grabbing the live stitches that are on the waste yarn.
Hi there. Have you any idea why every time I knit this sock I get a hole either side of the heel? I'm definitely wrapping the needle in hold on every row!
There could be a lot of reasons. Have you blocked your socks yet? Sometimes stitches get stretched out and blocking can help.
I had the same issue, it happens when you dont wrap the thread around the first needle when you're doing the decreases. Look closely at how she wraps and copy.
I cannot for the life of me get the zigzag cast on to work. It's extremely tight and the ribber keeps dropping stitches halfway through. It's a Singer Memomatic with a Studio ribber. Any clue what could be happening?
the tension might be too high, could be on the ribber, or where the yarn goes through at the top
@ thank you this was good advice! Fun fact I guess: looking through the manual, the Singer machine I have at least, you have to do the zigzag row with the ravel cord. Did that and all is happy again!
Brilliant thank you. Can I ask about your knitting machine is that AYAB on a kh910 if so is it good?
Yes, I'm using a Brother 910 with AYAB. It does most of what I need it to do but the sensors on my machine have some issues that I had to work around in the firmware. I'm an engineer so half of the joy of this hobby is working with the software.

Thank you very much for sharing this. What tool did you use to create the calculating webpage?
It's a ReactJS site hosted on glitch.com/
Do you mind sharing where you purchase the yarn you use on the KH-910? Also, where do you purchase your scrap yarn? Thank you in advance.
The yarn for this sock came from a local yarn store and the waste yarn is just basic unmercerized cotton.
@@KnitFactoryImpl Thank you. We could not find the basic unmercerized cotton. Do you happen to know the brand?
Wow. Can you Tell me model number of this machine, please. Thank you so much ❤
This is my Brother kh-910
@@KnitFactoryImpl thank you! I've just saw that in your other video. ❤️❤️❤️
Why not add a rib at the top with your ribber?
That is an option! The ribbing is knit flat and then reformed for circular knitting.
What kind of yarn are you using??
This was Bis-sock in Rainbow, I found it at a LYS: biscotteyarns.com/products/bis-sock-yarn-rainbow-self-striping-hand-dyed-yarn
