I often push my needles in my yarn ball to stop my work from sliding off the needle. :'D

Good tips 👍

Thank you so much! I finally understood how to knit this heel. 😁

Hi, I never use cable needles either, they hinder me so much, twisting the stitches over is so easy and quick. I wish I could get on with the interchangeable needles but I always seem to have a problem with the knitting coming off smoothly from the plastic to the rigid metal piece, they frustrate me so much. Other than that I’m on the same page as you with everything else. Like minded people. I look forward to watching your other videos, as I have just discovered you. ❤

Perfect timing!!! 🎉 I'm finishing my 2nd sock of my very first pair of socks. 🧦 The first one fitted perfectly with the rule of - 10% & - 5% ease from the previous video, so I'm following the same amount of round for the second one. 🧶 Thank you for the tutorials. 💜

I cant seem to find the video of knit in the round by carrying the yarn anywhere. Can you tell me the title?

Where can the "Sex on the Beach" yarn be purchased? I am here in the US. It is what I have been looking for.

Great tutorial on continental knitting. What pattern is your beautiful sweater? Thanks in advance!

I'm on a journey to start knitting socks and this couldn't have come at a better time. Today I am purchasing long cable sock needles and some sock yarn. I'm so excited to get started. Since I've started knitting everyone in my family has come out of the woodwork deciding they want knitwear. Most of them are worthy and I don't mind but because I'm newish at this there are so many things I want to make for myself. I'm usually a selfless maker and sew for others no problem but I find that I'm a little more selfish about my knitting right now. I'd like to get some of my own wishlist done before making things for others. I'm hoping socks will be a way to get items knitted for others a bit sooner than later. I hope I don't sound like a horrible person, I'm usually very giving, but with knitting it's different. Does anyone else find it that way? Also, suggestions for the best sock yarn to start with? I'm in the US.

I’m about to start my very first pair of socks. So when I hear you saying you knit them without thinking, oh my!

I tried to buy this pattern. I see one on ravelry but only in french. Can I buy it in english

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!

Hi Clo, I have never knitted a top down jumper despite having knitted my first jumper at the age of 9 ( I wont divulge my age but I am retired! ) It has been on my bucket list for soooo long . Which pattern are you referring to through out your brilliant videos please. I really need my hand being held very tightly 🙂

Your first tip was the most important. I knit that same hat you showed and I ended up ripping it out because the tension was awful with 2 superwash yarns. When I reknit it, I kept one yarn, a superwash gradient, and used an untreated yarn for the other. It worked!

Hi, found your podcast so pleased great help. Now watching though them

It's a good way to knit without any pain in hands and shoulders

I always think I want a beautiful yarn bowl, but then I remember how heavy they are and that I’d have to keep a project bag for notions still and that just adds the things I have to maintain when I want to knit. I have cable needles and never use them. If I need a cable needle then I use a DPN. I try to have multiple purpose tools, my blocking mat is an irons pad, and my pins are pins for sewing.

Yes to a kitchen scale! I just bought a second one cause my wife keeps snagging mine out of my yarn storage. Haha I love that sweater, what’s it the pattern?

If doing a stocking stitch do you just do a normal pearl stitch?

Great tips and tricks. Thanks

I have ordered some yarn and am ready to tackle my first pair of socks. I'm so glad to watch this video to better understand how to accomplish my goal. Thank you so much for sharing your words of wisdom!

Side note.. red is your color girl! @cloknits

What a great tutorial. Thank you. You make the grafting of the toe look so easy😀👍🏿🙌🏿👏🏿

Your assurances that things are fine while describing what we will see in our work is extremely helpful with keeping the stress down. Great tutorial! Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for this excellent tutorial and demystifying the mystery that is sock knitting… you are such a patient teacher and you show the hard things really well much appreciated!

Hi, love the yarn so so beautiful. Thank you for this videos I have never knitted socks and your video made me want to make a pair

Oh, I meant to ask for a more tutorials! How about two at a time on one circular? I know you don’t care for toe up, but two at a time toe up could be fun, too! I just have to avoid that second sock syndrome!

Clo, this is an excellent tutorial! I am definitely going to save it for future reference. Thank you for the explanation of the heel shaping. I knew there had to be some logic to it. Your toe graft makes so much sense, too. I am a new sock knitter, new to knitting in general, and all I want to knit is socks. Your explanations help so much. I’ve watched your other two sock knitting videos, and they’re equally helpful. I’m so glad I found you!

Tu es la meillure prof de bas !!!

So glad to have found you! We just completed our first pair of socks that was super easy, but it did have so many eyelets and lace work haha. So naturally we want to work backwards and cast on a simple pair of socks 😂

I love this tutorial and now I would like to try making some socks for the first time - I am a new knitter. How much yardage did you use to make those socks?

I can do it after watching this. The magic loop- now I get it! What yarn did you use for these? It’s beautiful!

I learned to knit from my mom and we carry our yarn on our right hand and use very long needles to be able to hold the working needle under our right arm. I never knew what style it was but mom used to say it was “Spanish “ knitting. I never really saw anybody else knitting how we did. Fast forward 40 years and I want to knit winter hats for my kids. I had some circulars inherited from grandma and decided to keep my yarn on my left hand and was able to go much faster than I did when I worked with yarn in my right hand so now, if I’m knitting in the round I keep my yarn on my left hand and if I’m working back and forth I knit Spanish style. However, last year I knit a cardigan with very thin cotton and the pattern was neck down so I used circulars. The stitches were very open and uneven due to the weight of the garment when I held the yarn in my left hand and I ended up using my right hand to achieve a tighter more even fabric.

❤❤❤❤

The bony prominence on the ankle is the “malleolus.” I’m not sure if there’s a common name for it.

I really love how you detail your explanation without making the whole process sound unattainable! Great job on this video! Definitely one to refer people to that want to learn to knit socks!

Good tutorial. I’ve knit a few pairs but always looking for some tips!! I’d like a video on the flexible flips, I haven’t tried mine yet.

Such a great intro to knitting socks. For stripes what method would you suggest for joining new colours?

Love knitting socks. I too was intimidated by socks but I just dived in and now I cannot stop. Love magic loop s well

Oops ....sorry !! I asked too soon about bor Marker. You answered that

Can you do a tutorial with DK yarn .....cardigan with button band :-)

Beautiful socks, beautiful stitching . I, too, still afraid to try socks, sadly. ....Maybe 1 day. It looks tough, and yet people take them here n there to work on.

Circular needles scare me in a way, maybe with this project I can overcome that? Oh, and June's Journey rocks 🤣

You guided me through my first sweater. I have been thinking about socks but I think they may be way above my skill level. That said, I will watch this tutorial, and then I will give them a shot. Your explanations are so thorough that I think this may be possible ❤

My partner got me a yarn bowl for Christmas. I don’t have the heart to tell them I’d rather not use it but it was such a thoughtful gift so I’m an unapologetic bowl user now 😂

Ok. You’ve encouraged me to try continental knitting again

A lifetime knitting on straights, then, one day, realising that circulars evened out my tension issues and were just better for everything. Never going back to straights. Thanks for creating and sharing!

Loved this video! I enjoy seeing how people move their yarn (walking it down the needles) as that's something I'm trying to learn. I always have to stop and re-bunch the yarn at the end - and I want to learn how to move it automatically while knitting. Thanks for this!

I don't know why people simply don't remove the needles, put stoppers on, and try it on? I do this all the time, and it's so much faster than moving stitches onto anything else - and you already have the stitches on the cords! JMHO
