This was THE BEST tutorial I have seen for color changes. And your voice is so soothing… thank you so much for the time you spend putting these tutorials together!! ❤️
I totally agree about the soothing nature of her voice. I get a tickle out of how excited she gets to share things with us! And, she is so calm - even when her kids are noisy in the background lol! life happens right?! But I know that would rattle some people on camera lol!
Best instructional video ever! Thanks so much for doing this... you’re a gifted teacher! 😊
Wow, thank you so much!!! I"m so happy you enjoyed it!!!
Brilliant! Proving once again I’m never too old to learn a new trick!
Thank you! This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial. I have struggled with color changes for so long. You are a wonderful teacher, and what a gift to share with us!
Glad it was helpful! And you are so welcome!!
Effectivement elle nous apprend à faire de beaux bas 😍🤜🤛👍
This is a wonderful video. Thank you! Oh my, LOVE IT when I heard the 'same' tone in such an experienced knitter....gasping for breath when the needle slipped off of the stitches. I thought that PANIC sound was only for me because I'm a newby. When that happens with quite a stitch pattern, the panic is like a volcano uncorking, lol.
You are so welcome!
My gosh, Denise, this is amazing!! Up until now, I've been tying a knot when changing colour and I've always hated doing that and how it looks. Also, for those of us to whom 1.5 inches of ribbing feels like 1.5 miles of ribbing, what a great way to break up the monotony by changing colour!! I've now tied my last ever knot in my socks!. You're a magician who shows the audience how the trick is done while performing the magic! X
Awww, hello my friend! I am so happy that you enjoyed the tutorial! That makes me so happy! And yes no more knots 👍🏾.
that why i came here been looking for all these tips ..it's all in 1 here ..i feel knot on my foot so thanks girl
So, so helpful! I’m getting ready to do a colorwork sock and this is just what I needed! Plus, the blip! What?! Thank you, Denise.
I'm so glad it was helpful to you!!!
Wow,your tutorials are fabulous. You are a great teacher and your voice is so soothing to listen to
Thanks so much Brenda
oh my! Thank you for this video! It was the perfect thing I was looking for since I'm working on my first sock with a different coloured cuff! Thank you!
That was so cool how to stop the jog in colours and very easy to do. Thanks very much ❤
Fabulous tutorial! I can't wait to try this.
You are an amazing teaching and you are such a beautiful knitter. I'm so excited to try all this . Can't wait for the next video. I love that you do the real time!
Thank you so much Denise. You are so clear and concise. I have been knitting socks for years but am still finding so many helpful tips. Thanks!
Fabulous, great explanation and visual! TY Diane
You are so welcome Tricia! Thanks so much for watching!
This is amazing!! I can’t wait to finish the sock I’m working on now so I can start a scrappy one!!🥰
I have watched endless videos on weaving in as you go and just couldn't get the feel of it, but thank you Denise, I'm finally catching on. Thank you for your repetition and patient teaching.
Yay! I’m so glad!!! And you’re so welcome!
Thank you so much. I tried to weave in as I go before, but with your patient teaching and repeating, I feel confident enough to try it again!
You are so very welcome Sherry, I hope you do give it another try. Just take your time, go slowly and you will get it!
So, so, so helpful! I've been anxious about changing color in the ribbing but not any longer! So far I've made your No Fear Shorty socks (3 times) and your One More Step socks. (They came out beautifully thanks to your thorough videos! You're right, repetition is key, at least for me!) Now I can add stripes to my sock repertoire! Thank you! (I also love the I Love Books and Sock Knitting progress keeper!)
You are so welcome!
Just found this. Thank you!!!!!! It takes a bit of practice, but your clear, slow, repetitive instructions done on actual fingering weight yarn (instead of aran weight with size 11 needles) helps so much. I subscribed!
Welcome to my channel!!! I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful to you.
Thank you!!!!
Thank so much for this wonderful tutorial Denise! You explain it all so well. I’m ready to dive into scrappy socks now!
You are very welcome Marty!!! I can't wait to see your scrappy socks!!
A good friend told me about you. You are an amazing teacher. So many tips and tricks that have already helped me so much! I love that you knit in real-time and that some videos show the same thing several times. I know that you “worry” about being repetitive because some people don’t like it, but as you say, they can fast forward! Personally, I like seeing it several times. THANK YOU for putting these videos together.
Awesome! Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you're here!!!
aHaaaaaaaaa ! So I learned previously from you - the stitches ON The needle are considered not worked - and here you do count them ! Such sense ! Yesss ! Oh , I'd have an Apple ' Crisp ' on your desk after school !!!! This is just priceless knowledge !!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE these classes ! Thank you SO much, Denise !!! Appreciation abounding ! xo marcia
Thank you. You did a wonderful job explaining I can’t wait try it. ❤
Brilliant. I can’t wait to start my scrappy socks with my Earthtone Shortie mini set.❤️
And I can't wait to see your socks!!! Don't forget to post in the Rav group and tag me on IG!
Denise thank you so much for the extra tutorials. I love the first cuff down socks I made thanks to you. Keep yourself and family healthy and safe
You are so very welcome Ginger!!!! I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy as well!!
This is a winner (as are all of your teaching videos) and I will now start to make socks from all the leftover sock yarns that are in my stash. By doing so, it will allow me to perfect this technique. Thanks so much for being such an incredible teacher!!!!!😄
Another great video Denise, thank you. That pulling together bit is sheer genius!
Awww. thanks so much Sue!!! You are so very welcome!!
Thanks for this! I’d seen the weaving in ends before but it didn’t make any sense until I saw your video. Terrific explanation and demonstration.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! Thank you, Denise.
You are so welcome!
Very helpful; clear and well organized; thank you
Thank you! This was absolutely helpful. Can’t wait to try all this great new techniques with my Earth Tone Girl minis set on my No Fear Pattern. Thank you so much again.
You are so very welcome and thank you so much for watching!!
I think you’re fabulous showing steps in knitting I have done socks with you and success was the results thankfully Marguerita from Irish cottage x
Aww. thank you so much Marguerita...
Merci Denise, vos tutoriels sont très intéressants . Vous m’aidez beaucoup avec vos petits trucs vous êtes une bonne pédagogue. Merci ❤️
Ingenious! Mahalo for this tutorial!
Denise you’re a great teacher! Love this, so helpful. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
That is such a clever technique.. I'm going to use that method for all my color changes. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Cindy!!
Wow! Just , wow! You are always my “go to” when I am trying to learn something new! Thank- you! You are an amazing teacher. ❤️
Thank you so much Gail!
Thank you for doing these videos they are so helpful.
You are very welcome Karen!!!
Ah, Denise, pure magic!!! And thanks for the link to the continental version. Your repeated demonstrations on the video were wonderful. It took a lot of rewinds to get my first color change done, but that’s what’s wonderful about video. I can see you do it as many times as I need. When I think of how I've struggled to start new colors of yarn, or even add a new skein when I run out. This method is going to change my knitting life forever for the better.
Hi Janet,
I'm so happy you found the tutorial so helpful!!! This technique is a definite game changer!!
Awesome video!
Oh my goodness Denise! Thank you so so much for this 🌟 Like you I couldn't get the hang of weaving in the ends with the continental either & knitted a long pair of socks having to sew in so many ends. What a revelation & appreciate you doing it in real time 🙏🏼👏🏻 🌟
You are so welcome Elaine!!!!! It is a game changer for sure!!!
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Awww, thank you SO much Taylor!!!
Oh my gosh, this is so helpful!! Thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm so happy you found it helpful!
Love your hair today!!
Thank you so much
Thank you SOoooo much for the link for Continental knitters! So appreciative!
A great tutorial. Thank you. You have such a great relaxing voice.
Awww, thank you!!!
Excellent as always! Thank you❤
Thank you SO much Linda!!!
I am a RN who knits. I knit to RELAX! New stitches have stressed me. Your tone and explanations are absolutely the BEST! I THANK YOU profusely for taking the time to explain in a manner that takes the stress of something new away. 🥰🙏🏼🙌🏻❤️
Hi Maria thank you so much for your message and for all that you do. I studied to be an RN when I was in college and changed my major. The responsibility was just too big for me at the time. I’m so happy this video was able to give you a few moments to relax and enjoy the stitches!!
Wish I had watched this last week; now I truly get it- I am getting so close to trying a colour change.
This is so cool !!! I love this method.
I"m so glad you like it Cathy!!
Magnificent!!! Thank you, this is perfect.
I want to add that I've learned this a long time ago and I just never go it. Your follow through after the under/overs really made it sink in better than the first time I encountered it.
So helpful tips, thank you!
Thank you so much Chiaretta!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve always thought i had to use self striping yarn in order to achieve a nicely striped sock. I hate dyeing self striping yarn especially since my place is not big enough to wind/dye thick striped yarn. Planning on dyeing some small skeins of yarn and trying this method out asap!
This is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you 😊
You’re very welcome!
This is the most life changing/ game changing video I have EVER watched on youtube. Weaving in ends like that looked like knitting witchcraft. Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
I'm using the same progress keeper for my socks in this kal!!!!!!!! Thanks for your wonderful video!
Great Minds Stephanie!!!!!
And you are so very welcome!!
Wow 🤩 to how you knit and weave as you go. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you!!
You are very welcome!
Wonder informative lesson in color changes. Love your knowledge. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Denise, I am actually knitting a pair of scrappy socks at the moment and that change of colour so there is no jog is extremely helpful! Thank you as always for your super videos. Happy Knitting!
Thank YOU so much for watching and taking the time to write this wonderful comment. I’m so glad you found the tutorial so helpful!!

That is the beauty of this technique!! It can be applied to so many other areas of knitting!!!
Another great class! Thank you 😊
Thank you so very much! And I thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for another great tutorial! I was getting concerned that I would have to throw a few stitches, but then you anticipated that and sent us continental knitters to The Cozy Knitter. You are awesome thank you so much for these videos.
You re so very welcome Kara!!! I'm so happy you've found this so helpful!!!
Love this channel and I love you voice. Clear and relaxing 🎉
Thank you Tammy!
I'm late to the party, but this is ingenious. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! And trust me, you're not late at all!!!
I tried and love ittttttt ! Thank you sooo much
You're welcome!!
that you SOOOO much!
Thank you soooo much for this!! Much appreciated.
You’re so welcome!!
Thankyou for this 🥰
You are so welcome!!!
Denise, I was glad to locate this video. Your explanation and demonstration were spot on. I’ve added this to my favorite videos for easy access when I actually need the technique. Thank you for demonstrating several times for reinforcement. You are an excellent teacher. I still want to knit like you “when I grow up”! Your hands make the stitches look effortless and your “real time” is so efficient.
Aww, thank you Ann!!
Thanks so very much for this video. I learn so much from you!🌷🌷
You are so very welcome Theresa!!!! I”m so happy you enjoyed it!!!
Awesome tutorial!🤘
Thanks so much!
Yes!!! Jogless knitting😆😆😆😆 I'll finally get to learn this properly!!!! And hopefully a much better way of joining new colors compared to the way I do it now (not the best lol). Just started the video, can't wait to see the rest and the next videos🤗🤗🤗🤗
Okay, what the freak!!! Knitting witch magic🤣🤣🤣🤯🤯🤯 knit the initial color change row, knit only, trap the tails, and there's a crazy loop, then you pull the tails to erase the loop and that creates the ultimate join and jogless knit. My mind is blown. I LOVE IT!!!
I can use this on not just socks but any project😄😄😄😄😄😄
Denise, this sounds crazy but this video/ learning this new method is exactly what my mind needs to kickstart my husband's birthday today, April 12. Happiness created vs sadness (you know about my loss), thank you for this video/ teaching moment 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 this really does put my mind in a happy place... gives me the right mind set to start the day & celebrate his day vs being terribly depressed over it. Again sounds weird. But, thank you!!!!!!
Hello my friend,
Your excitement is infectious and I'm so happy this had made YOU so happy! And i'm even happier to hear that it has eased your feelings about your husband. Being in a happy place mentally is so important right now!!!!
It doesn't sound weird at all...and you are so very welcome!
Ouiii Voilà 😲 !!!! Merciii beaucoup so magic 💯
Merci Nadine!!! 🧶
Thanks Denise!
You are very welcome Bex!!!
Thank you! Magical 🌟
You're so welcome!
I’m buckled in, alrighty. ❤🎉
Lol....
Great tutorial. Thank you. 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching Elaine!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Very good! I found this problem with the Izzy doll. Thank you!
Thank you!!
Great tip at trapping the old yarn for scrappy socks. I do this technique for colorwork but never tried with scrappy socks, which I never make. But will most definitely go buy your shortie sock pattern and try with scrap yarn! Thank you😉
You are so welcome Rosemary. It’s funny how we don’t always think to apply things we know to other projects. And thank you so much for buying my pattern! it means the world to me!!
thank you so much for the video it was very informative, I'm working on a pair of scrappy socks
Hi Gloria, thank you so much for your message and for watching. I’m so happy you found it so helpful!! Yay for scrappy socks!!!
I learned so much.
That makes me so happy to hear Susan. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, especially the weaving in the ends as you go. That is amazing and I wish someone had taught me this years ago. I was directed here by Edible Thoughts Makes podcast.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! I’m very happy you’re here!!!
Excellent
Thank you so much Reba!
Another wonderful tutorial! I know you've stated the woven ends will not come out, I'll have to try it. Given the slack was so easy to tighten, it seems to me it would be that easy to come undone....but I have nothing to lose. Thanks for the great video, looking forward to the next one.
I totally understand your concern about the ends coming out but I've never had that happen...not once!!! Is there a first time for everything, yes...but I really think you'll be fine!! You may want to weave in for a few extra stitches on each end just to be safer.
Genius! I’m so happy to find out about this! No more ends to weave. Have you ever had a strand come loose later (after washing?)
Hi Vickie, WOW... thank you so much!!! And to answer your question no, I have NEVER had a strand come loose!!! Everything stays put! 👍🏾
Whatever I did, I tried to do what you said, I wove in the ends - it didn’t work cuz I still got jogs. Some of them were better than the others, but now I’m sad because I just kept going despite things not working out as the video said and can’t figure out what I did wrong. Seems to me it has to do with the very first weave stitch. Guess I’ll need to watch it again. I’m making baby socks in the Hudson Bay colors to match a baby blanket.
Denise thank you kindly for such an in-depth and helpful instruction. I stumbled on this video while making some striped socks for the family. Just a few questions. Do you trim the ends after blocking? Have you used this technique for all over ribbed socks. Mine are 3x1 ribbed leg just wondering how you manage the purl stitches. Thanks again I advance. Take care hope all is well with you and yours.
I ordered my pattern.
Oh my gosh...thank you GG!!!! That means the world to me!!!
You are my queen. I am using dk wt yarns to do your color change in a cuff…knit the row of plain knit stitch . Yowza! I have a weirdness a stitch 64, but it appears to be 63/64 or 98.4%. I am a then going to fish kiss lips on this test sock. It’s 95 or nothing on that patented heel. 16 pages of instructions is intimidating.
It’s funny....when you mentioned about knitting in your ends I didn’t realize this is what you meant. I did this on a pair of my first socks where I did contrasting heels and cuffs and toes. But I made the mistake you mentioned and pulled the yarn too tight which meant I struggled to actually get the sock on 🙄 now I know not to do that! Thank you. I do this when crocheting and thought I could do it knitting but I obviously got the technique wrong.
That's so great that you know how to do it!!! Its a very handy skill to have!
OMG!!!!!!
Thanks a lot. ❤️ Your explane is superb. And, You're soo cute. 🧿
You're welcome 😊
Although I learned the weaving in technique when doing Fairisle colourwork, for some strange reason I never used it in my socks. Thanks for the reminder of what a beautiful technique this is.
You are so welcome Brenda!!! Thank you so much for watching!!
