    This is my first try at making socks. I’m using magic loop and have watched numerous videos for help with ladders. Without any exaggeration, I’ve started the same project 12 times and have ripped out each because of ladders and yarn tangling in my “loop “. After watching your video, I’m ready to attempt to begin again! Thank you so much for your great video. I think I finally understand how to do this!

I was tugging so hard on the yarn before making the first stitch that I was pulling the last stitch tight on the cable. I'm finding it much easier now I'm doing what you show in your video.

I've been trawling through youtube for weeks to find a tutorial that is like how i teach it so that if my students get stuck, they can go online and see how. thank you thank you thank you. and an aside - for years, I had a clothing label called Wild & Woolly. :-) Lu x

    Thank you! Very easy to follow! I'm still Team DPN, but then I taught myself using books & flyers a number of years ago before I had a smartphone. Maybe that has something to do with it? Lol! This is very cost effective, though, especially for needles in sizes 6 or 7 on up. Instead of having to invest in dpn, I can use a size 7, 8, or 9 circular ANY LENGTH using this method! ❤ This video definitely went in my "Saved" file!

  • @sylvanaire
    @sylvanaire Рік тому +3

    I knit all my socks w/magic loop & I have found that if I use Chiaogoo needles I want to use the “mini” cables, even if I’m using the “small” needles. The company sells adaptors that let you attach the “mini” cables to the larger “small” needles. The mini cables are thinner & more flexible & allow you to keep the edges closer together which helps eliminate the ladders. You can still do this technique as above, but the finer cables help a lot & are more comfortable to work with! 😄

    How do you have the bit of yarn from the beginning on the same side of the row. Do you knit a first row before you separate it? My starting end is at the opposite end of the row. Maybe I cast on differently. I cast on using both needles.

    • @wildandwooly7421
      @wildandwooly7421  Місяць тому

      Knitted cast on will end the same place as long tail. Once you cast on and join in the round your yarn will be at the right spot for you to start. Hope this helps.

    Hi! Thanks for this video. I was an experienced knitter back in the day, but have only just tried magic loop with my very first sock. I used a different tutorial, and guess what? I'm now 7 rows in with a big fat ladder. It took me hours to knit those 7 rows and further hours to try and rectify the ladder, which is now 2 huge loops. I've never seen anything like this - how can I resolve it...?

      @@choc_chip okay, I understand. Going forward using this technique will drastically reduce or eliminate your problem. I’m sure you won’t want to hear this, but it may be easier to start over😮 you do have another option which is what I call “sharing the wealth”.. basically you reabsorb the gaps by taking up the slack with the existing stitches, by following each stitch horizontal and pulling the slack through until it’s mostly reincorporated, then pull diagonally both ways on your knit fabric. You can do this until almost perfect and the rest will block out. It’s fiddly, but worth the effort. I wish you luck😊

      I understand that you are saying you have the working yarn and the end yarn at the last stitch, Is that correct? If so, then ignore the end yarn for note and knit with the working yarn. You will eventually weave in the end yarn once your work is complete. Does this help? If not please post photo of your issue.
