Magic Knot Tutorial - Crazy Sock Lady

[@Knitting_jojo]

Your podcasts always make me happy but for some reason this one was extra extra! I recently frogged several projects too (back during spring cleaning) it’s amazing how much extra mind space you gain once you shake things up like that!

[@kathylegg1033]

Thank you for your video...will definitely use this method..

[@HeatherKelly]

[@margaret8068]

[@henriekepasman2986]

Thanks for this tutorial. Can I use the Magic knot when knitting socks?

[@anne-mariewolfe5002]

Thank you, thank you!! That's awesome!!

[@kimski5391]

wow! that's how its done thank you Kay :)

[@phyllisoviatt3185]

I was just going to connect two yarns for my socks and had to learn how to do the Magic Knot.... so thanks a million!

[@CrazySockLady]

YAY! So glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@LesliesLakeLife]

Kay, thank you for sharing this. I assume you could do this when working on a project and need to add the next skein as well. No more ends to weave in!!!!

[@CrazySockLady]

Hey Leslie! I’ve only ever used this in my scrappy knitting so I can’t speak to how it would work in any other projects other than blankets. But, I think you certainly could!

[@Pegs57]

Thank you!!

[@TwinkleToes2day]

That is so cool! Does it work with any yarn type? ThanX

[@wifemomquilter16]

Love your tutorials and I am especially a big fan of your sock knitting! Do you use magic knot with sock knitting?

[@TVCountrysideDaily]

Like 👍👍hi 안녕하세요 반갑습니다 ❤️🇰🇷🙋🏻‍♀️

[@victoriahanke6297]

You need your own shop and be able to teach! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh that’s the dream! I was actually talking it Eric about it yesterday! I feel like it’s a bit out of my reach and may never happen. But oh it would be amazing!

[@BJ7481]

Thank you!!! BJ

[@heathertucker7056]

Thank you.

[@chrissylawuk]

Great explanation, I take it this knot holds up in the washing machine :)

[@CrazySockLady]

I’ve never used it on anything that I have put in the washing machine so I can’t speak to that.

[@chrissylawuk]

@@CrazySockLady Ah...well there's only one way to find out...wish me luck 🤣

[@taylorbrown7514]

@@chrissylawuk so how did machine washing go?

[@chrissylawuk]

@@taylorbrown7514 Haven't dared to try it yet 🤣

[@simonebannan3622]

Thanks so much for this tutorial Kay! You explained it clearly and showed all the steps I needed to get my head around it!

[@anitadizney8987]

Is this knot strong enough for socks?

[@carlenlanser2276]

I’m following the directions as you described. If you pull on the separate yarns/knots do they still pull away from the combined knot? If so, is that ok to continue to make the magic knot ball & it won’t come loose when knitting?

[@CrazySockLady]

Once tightened up and the ends snipped I’ve never had any pull away in the way you are describing.

[@Tinacrafts2]

Great video! Seems the Russian join just doesn’t work well for finger weight join in socks. Just too thin. I’m hoping the tiny knot 🪢 ends up on top of my sock, but I doubt I’d even feel it on the bottom. ☺️

[@caswucher3271]

Can we use yarn this to make socks or is the “knot” not strong enough?

[@shellbell72]

I’m such a perfectionist and hate any knot in my projects. Have you ever tried the Russian join method to connect two pieces of yarn?

[@CrazySockLady]

Nope I haven’t. Magic knot works just fine when I’ve used it.

[@lorindasilveira9155]

Hi Kay. Thanks for this tutorial. I have a question for you. Do you find any scrap too tiny to include in the ball? Obviously if it isnt big enough to wind around…what if the scrap is only a couple of meters/yards long?

[@CrazySockLady]

If I can tie it in, I add it!

[@dragontfm]

Does this work well for worsted weight acrylics you think? I inherited husbands grandmas stash that is mostly acrylic worsted weight in many many different colors which I think could be chopped up to do a scrape Afghan with

[@CrazySockLady]

I’ve never used it with Acrylics but I wouldn’t see why not.

[@rosaliecovello441]

Found it visually confusing. Jane Richmond blog seemed more clear.

[@CrazySockLady]

Everyone certainly learns things in different ways ❤️
