Thank you! !slowly BUT surely .I appreciate the instructions 😊

Hi Norman! Loving all of your tutorials, the help has been fantastic. My only request in this video would have been more information on where to put your needle in order to pick up stitches after knitting the heel turn. I’m struggling to see exactly where I’m the stitch you’re picking up. 34:27 Aside from that, really really loving your content! Thank you!

This is a SPECTACULAR video! Even my 5 year old twin boys, 7 year old son, and 8 year old son couldn't look away when my 10 year old daughter put this on to learn to knit socks. They all watched the whole video! I'm a crocheter and beginner knitter who tried double pointed needles once 15 years ago and gave up when they fought me. Thank you for the encouragement to try again! I wish we had been taught knitting in schools! We didn't get Home Economics 😭 THANK YOU for teaching us!!! 💗🧶

[@NimbleNeedles]

Awesome! Happy to hear I could create some special family time for you

[@encendercolores1684]

That'd be interesting, to have knitting being taught in schools. I would prefer crochet but imagine what things would be like if we taught kids how to make things themselves.

[@shelleyvanhoy745]

Hey there. I had the privilege of having been able to take Home Ec classes in high school. There isn’t a day go by that I don’t use what I learned there in my kitchen and at my sewing machine. Many years of mending boy jeans knees.😅during the year we had mini-courses on knitting and crochet. I use them daily! Taking Home Ec (and shops) out of the schools was ludicrous. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts.

[@dawnrising22]

​@encendercolores1684 all Waldorf Steiner schools teach handwork in their schools, which includes knitting, crochet, cross stich, felting, embroidery in their schools. It's regarded as a very important lesson

[@MrsGump]

I'm also a crocheter who's learning to knit. I do ok with DPNs but they're just awkward & the magic loop is a nightmare for me lol, but I've found a diff way that you may find easier - I find it no harder than kitting straight - it's called a travelling loop. It's been a life changer for me when knitting in the round 😀 ETA, to join the knitting in the round you need to start by splitting them in half like with a magic loop. Knit a few sts n then change to travelling loop 🙂

[@mixedandknot5911]

Norman, slow instructions are the best for us to learn. This is a wonderful video. I really hope that you feel the love from all your viewers/followers. Thank you so very much.

[@NimbleNeedles]

When i read your comments, I always do 😊❤

[@anncostello5894]

Hi Norman im just learning to knit. Its more technical than crocheting. But you attention to detail is fablous. A friend has started to teach a couple of friends shes wonderful. Also if you could tell 😏😏😏😏your subs about the tools on youtube to slow down vided. The can change speed on tutorial. Cheers ann

[@grimmssocalledlife4140]

I love this video the only problem I’m having is the calculations. I got A’s in math but my brain thinks in a different way so I understood the one part is for the widest part of my foot but I’m not quite sure about the others

[@bigfishboobs]

I've been crocheting for about a decade, my mom always made knitting seem really difficult and illusive. But, damn! You make me want to purchase my first needles and make an ill fitting first pair of socks this instant! It looks so fun 😍

[@NimbleNeedles]

It definitely is! I mean..both crafts are amazing and knowing the basics of the other one can be so worthwhile. Eg...you could knit the socks and add a lacey inverted cuff with your crochet hooks, etc

[@vivienneclarke2421]

I have the opposite problem..... I took to knitting like a duck to water,but I can't crochet to save my life. I've tried and tried but it's hopeless 😄 I even struggle just using a crochet hook to correct or pick up a dropped stitch lol.......

[@glendidipaola6851]

You are such a good teacher, my next project will be a pair of socks tanks❤

If you have ever wanted to knit socks but were too intimidated, this is the video for you.

When you hide your tails are you cutting thru the pearl bumps and non pearls? Could not tell. Thanks

Lol I gave up just from watching the video 🤦‍♀️

[@lorrainehutter6677]

After more than 5 decades of knitting, I am finally attempting my very first sock. I have been intimidated by them for years. As I write this, I am preparing to pick up stitches for the gusset. All I can say is 1) thank you so much for this video and 2) thankfully, there is only one first time!

[@Morticia147]

I knitted socks for years now and I've learned a lot of new things in this video :O)

[@nicolakerrison]

I'm new to knitting and getting way ahead of myself to look at socks before I've finished my first blanket square! I really appreciate your very clearly shot videos and your clear, kind explanation.

[@bee909]

I just finished knitting my first pair of socks thanks to this video!!! I'd always been intimidated by them, but I'm so happy with the final result and so grateful for your hard work on your tutorials! 💖

[@rczv]

Just finished my first pair of socks, thank you :) Maybe it will be helpful for someone: if you never worked slip stitch patterns (as I haven't before this), it is probably a good idea to try the heel flap pattern separately until you get a good tension. With the first sock, the heel flap got way too tight meaning more stitches to decrease, and a poorer fit overall. The second sock turned out a lot better because when working the flap, I paid extra attention to knitting looser than I usually would.

[@jetfuelgirl]

Hi, wanted to thank you for being my inspiration for knitting socks, im yet a baby in the knitting world, but with your wisdom, I hope to get to a point where I can make all my relatives lovely all natural wearables. Please keep making videos like these they really make a difference. :)

[@trufflesmom1]

I’m an experienced knitter but have never done socks. On top of that I’m trying to go back to my Danish roots by knitting the European way. Your tutorials are the best! I feel like I have to turn myself into a pretzel sometimes learning two new things at the same time but it is slowly coming along and I am developing my own knitting rhythm. Thank you!

[@countesscable]

I too find knitting like meditation. I love the repetition and the soft click of the needles. I am Autistic and repetition soothes me.

[@SherryPalmer-lifewithcharley]

You might be my favorite knitting video presented of all time. You are a treasure! Thanks for all your sharing, you are so generous!

[@NimbleNeedles]

Aww..thank you Sherry for sharing your feedback. And actually, it always surprises me when people call me generous. The people that thought me knitting didn't charge either. So, I feel it would be a bit strange to not share that gift freely!

[@marilyn1228]

I've knit many socks and have watched almost as many videos, but by far, yours is the absolutely the best. I've always done the heel with sl1 k1 on the public side, but have done sl first st, purl to the end. I like your version much more. Thanks for all the trips and lessons.

[@NimbleNeedles]

Wow, thank you!

[@crochet4fun]

I’ve been knitting for more than 45 years and always stayed away from knitting socks. Watching your videos and The No Fear Socks from Earthtones Girl, I decided to just do it! I completed my first knitted sock last night. I’ve crocheted many socks and knitted all kinds of items over the past 45+ years, now , thanks to you and Earthtones Girl socks are now part of my knitting. THANK YOU!

[@NimbleNeedles]

oh wow. very happy i could be part of your knitting journey

[@vivienneclarke2421]

Norman and Earthtones Girl are my 2 go to channels also~! I've only been knitting for 3 years,and I taught myself how from watching yt videos lol. I'm left handed but decided to learn right handed so that I wouldn't have to convert patterns(most are written only for right handed knitting). After knitting lots of swatches/dishcloths for practice,the first thing I made was a pair of yoga socks~without a pattern🤣 I literally dove right in as a newbie and made up my own sock pattern......to be fair tho,yoga socks leave out the 2 intimidating parts of a sock,the heel and the toe😂 3 years later and socks have become my favorite thing to knit~!! I bet you're so glad you tried them too. Now you have 45 years worth of socks to catch up on lol.....😄 wishing you good luck,I know you'll have fun~!!🥢🧶

[@mayolson2]

I have spent my time watching your videos and I must say this grateful great grandmother deems you a knitting treasure ! You make knitting so easy and your explanations are right on target. THANKS Yes shouting..... haha.

[@NimbleNeedles]

you are very welcome, May. Always a pleasure to help a fellow knitter along!

[@juliaasphodel]

Norman, thank you so much for this tutorial! I have just finished my first sock. It's my first project ever, and before that I only learned how to knit and purl, also from your videos. Your website is super helpful too! You have taught a complete newbie to knit a sock from scratch! All the operations were totally new to me, but I made it!

[@kylabear1977]

I started knitting a few months ago because I wanted to do socks. Then I learned how they are done on dpn and I have been intimidated and didn’t know where to start. This video is absolutely amazing! Once my sock yarn comes in I am going to give it a go, thank you so much for explaining the things everyone else skips over🖤

[@NimbleNeedles]

glad my attention to detail paid off, Kyla!

[@gagbat]

Hi Norman, Fantastic work, thank you. i'm 68 and began knitting two weeks ago. What a journey. I'm knitting my second sock ever. After ending my first sock, my worst nightmare, the gosset, first, handle the ssk and k2tg, so i practice a lot and now i know what i'm doing. Second, remember if it's the row to knit to decrease or to knit around, so my solution to this problem, interchange color stitch marker every time i reach them, if the stitch marquer is red, knit around, if it is green, decrease and so on. It works very well for me even if it's time consuming.

[@dorothereijnders335]

I really appreciate that you show the cast-on calculation; the one thing that kept me from keeping me from starting to knit socks! Success!

[@z_ch_ry]

Thank you for making such great content! I haven't knitted since I was a child but have recently wanted to again. I'm still waiting for my order of knitting stuff to arrive, but I am learning so much from your videos and really appreciate them.

[@sandrasolano-huber7555]

Hi Norman! Thank you so much for all you share here on your channel- you are a natural teacher and I appreciate how you know the places where those of us who are learning tend to get stuck at.

Hugs and keep the great work!!

knitting has changed my life as well...so I am personally very aware of how it can relax you and even heal you. Still, I am very happy to hear that I can help others on top of that!

Dear Norman, I thought to know everything about knitting socks but you beat me. I didn't know the trick to have seamless stripes. Thank you very much for the tip. About casting on, I do it differently. When you have the yarn over your thumb, pick-up up onze from above and onze from under, that gives a strechy cast on and doesn't get looser after wearing. Love the way you explain it all. Love from Amsterdam

Hey Wally - to tell you the truth, this is not exactly how I knit socks. This is just my ideal beginner pattern where I sort of try to find a balance between a nice fit and easy and re-knittable techniques. I typically knit a lot more complicated stuff *grin*

This has been a great tutorial, I watched several sock videos. This is the best one for tips! Your insight has helped me get rid of laddering and be more confident in using DPNs. Thank you.

I just finished my first pair of socks using your tutorial and I just wanted to say a massive thank you! I was always so intimidated by socks but your video was so easy to follow!

My favorite knitting is socks. I’m learning and your video came to me at the perfect time. My daughter is in the hospital several times a month. Sock knitting is small enough that I can put needles, yarn and and extra in my purse. With people sick and so much infection, knitting big projects is not allowed in our hospitals now. I have knit one sock. I am also trying to knit like you, continental. I have only knit but throwing. Also as a colorblind person, I need assistance in choosing colors of yarn for my sock I used self stripping yarn, a light color. I’m having difficulty with the slip stitch heal and gusset system. I used the flex flip needles because I was so clumsy and got so confused with the double point needles. I had a problem keeping stitches on the needles. I’m anxious to use your pattern with the tutorial. I love to watch you knit. I turn speed down to half so I can see each movement carefully. Thank you for your awesome tutorial. I’m so anxious to try short rows too! Jacque Dooley
