Just came across your channel....I am in Texas, USA. .. Love all the beautiful socks you knit! The yarn is beautiful.
Hello, thank you for a full explanation about the way you knit your socks & your experience of sock knitting over the years 🧦 very helpful to a beginner sock knitter 😁 Erica x
Anna where were you ten years ago when I taught myself with an American book and I am dyslexic.
I do like your way of not being so precise. Now that I have lost track of the amount of socks I have knitted and see the construction of the sock on dpns, it is really very basic.
I always do my toes the way you do because Kitchener stitch and my brain doesn't work.
You are a gifted knitting teacher and although I have been knitting for 68 years knitting socks is now my favourite, specially when the stripes match.
Thank you x
Anna Perfect timing I was thinking about socks today I have some opal sock yarn based on your previous video recommendations Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such a helpful video. I love socks, and I'm always trying to improve my technique. I also really appreciate the chart you created for making all different sizes of socks on different weights of yarn.
Thank you so much Anna for another lovely video. Very informative and useful. Thank you! 😍❤️🧦
Can't wait for socktober!
Anna, I love watching you! Just got my order of Opal yarn and cast it on yesterday. I love it!! It doesn’t split and the self striping looks great. So glad I watched you so I could find it.
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoy the yarn 🤗
I’ll have to try the Opal yarn! Love seeing Benni in your video. ❤ 🐶
Thank you Anna for your very informative video. I am new to sock knitting and found your explanation about wrap & turn heel vs heel flap & gusset along with your toe preference very helpful.
Hi Anna I have some Opal yarn and have found it the nicest to work with. I loved your video. It is so informative. Thank you.❤
The length of the leg (or shaft) will probably depend on your individual calf muscle; I am quite short and the distance between my heel and the beginning of the calf muscle is also short, and I have a very muscular calf with a large diameter (I struggle to buy boots!), so if I make a long shaft, it concertinas down below the muscle and looks sloppy, so I keep that part quite short or reduce it in a patterned sock for myself. Or I make a longer 2x2 rib and turn it over as a cuff.
It's good to find a sock yarn you rely on. I actually find WYS sock yarn lovely and plump, but I usually knit on 2.25mm. I find the (Swiss) Sommer sock yarn sold in my local grocery store in Switzerland to be one of the most hard-wearing sock yarns I've ever had and I throw mine in the washing machine AND tumble dryer! There are also a few brands (incl. Sommer) that have extra thread to reinforce heels and toes, which used to be standard. Otherwise, I also like the Buttinette yarns that are good value for money (I think they are the same as Hobbii).
To me, Opal yarns haven't really struck me as any different or thicker or more hard-wearing, so I was interested that you think so!
Good morning I have just found your channel I love it.i am trying to make a pair of socks but I'm using the nine inch circular needles and I have really tried so hard to make them but I'm having a hard time please help me out if I use your vanilla pattern will it be easier for me I wish you had a video on how to do it.i love everything you are doing but I love how much you love God it's hard these days to see that anymore Im so grateful I found your channel.please be blessed.and also I feel as if I have found a new friend.
Hi Anna! I only find in our stores the Paton Kroy yarn for socks which although quite expensive, is the best we have. I can however order online and I will search for the Opal brand. Thank you for the video update on your preferences! I always knit heel flap and gusset cuff downs. I like your toe finish! I should try it! I remember in my youth doing it this way. Your socks are pretty…
I have many different Opal yarns in my shop and I ship worldwide for 8€: www.annaknitter.com/opal
I think its good to try different heels and toes, then customise the sock pattern (recipe) to suit your own feet. I am curranty trying some no-heel socks just out of curiosity.
Anna I read there was a hail storm in Reutlingen Germany That can happen in Canada too 😮 Trusting everyone is safe Just thinking of you and your family
No worries we only had rain and wind.
Great video!! Which Symfonie wood needles do you use? I tried their zings and they were too slick. Thanks
Thank you Anna. This was great!! Do you ever carry the 6 ply and 8 ply Opal yarns?
Yes they will be in my shop after the summer 😎
what is vanilla socks?
Plain stockinette for the entire sock. 🤗
Anna, I want to make God's Promise socks but cannot find what yarn you used. Please tell me what it is and if you sell it. Thank you so much! Janet
The yarn I used never made it into a collection. But I have another similar colorway with sparkle in my shop: www.annaknitter.com/product-page/opal-yarn-pretty-collection
