Wow! Great tutorial! Love it and will definitely give it a try

[@janeshipley6993]

brilliant! i’ve driven myself crazy, trying several different ways of weaving in my ends, and i always end up with a bulky, yucky-looking mess, with a gaping hole. i’m off to try your method, and i think i might actually finally have some success. thanks!

[@nhathaway5840]

Love it!! Thank you!!

[@danielleboots7032]

Thanks Kay!

[@cathyroberts7363]

Yay thanks! Stephen doesn’t show the purl so I was just making things up 😂. Wrapping under. Wrapping over. Blinking three times. 😅

[@elaineenstone6834]

Excellent. Like the tip for knitting the main colour, then returning to rib. Great demonstration of weaving in ends. Thank you. 🇬🇧

[@debbieharrison567]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@wendybradley8420]

Thanks so much Kay

[@marilynderochie1007]

Thank you! Great info‼️😊

[@bettykesemeyer4628]

Thanks so much for the tips.

[@denisestalnaker5662]

Thank you!

[@jennifers9292]

Thanks, Kay! Great tutorial!

[@carolinagirlstitcher]

I love the way you weave in the ends, I’m definitely going to have to start doing that! And the pop of color is so cute…I see myself matching scraps and minis for a pop of color (and not just heels, toes, & cuffs) more often now! ❤

[@britdowson8324]

Awesome. Thanks

[@kimfraser6397]

Your tutorial inspired me to try a pop of color on a beanie for my nephew for Xmas. His school colors are black and gold and I'm thinking a pop of gold on an otherwise plain black beanie will be a great touch. Thank you for showing us how to do this!

[@cheriwalker887]

Ahhhh, I wondered how you wrapped ends with a purl stitch! Thank you! Whenever I take a class I always jot down the “pitfalls and pearls”, things to watch out for and great tips when learning something. This was definitely a Pearl :)

[@kimberlydzingel3943]

Thank you! I’ve tried using The weavin steven method and haven’t loved it. I’ll give your tweaks a try!

[@walkerkids5]

If you do toe up socks and want to do the pop of color you want to knit one round with the pop of color and then go back to your ribbing pattern. I feel like this weaving in method would be a little more secure than the weaven stephen method. Definitely going to try it! Thanks

[@aldadesrochers6657]

Wow!I love that sock yarn set! It would knit great socks for one of my daudhters. Thanks to the generous donors🧶🧦❤️

[@sheilabush3784]

thank you so much for this tutorial. I can now make my socks prettier thanks to you. :)

[@suetupper9162]

Kay,I have to tell you how much I love and appreciate you....I never miss a video!....thank u

[@CrazySockLady]

♥️♥️♥️

[@marilyne1323]

Can’t wait to try this way of weaving in my ends as I go! And I love the pop of color at the top too, I usually do this for my socks too! 💖 Thanks for the tutorial Kay. You’re the best 😉

[@nataliejaggi387]

2 videos in 1 day! I'm definitely thankful for that! Thank you so much Kay, hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@rosiecat123]

This is a great tutorial. I'm so excited to try this! It's never bothered me to weave in ends when the project is done, but this method seems easy enough. Thanks, Kay.

[@TwinkleToes2day]

Wow! I just noticed the tiny circulars! I would to know how to knit socks with those 🙏 Sending love and heartfelt thanks always 💐💖

[@lwright622]

Kay, thank you so much for this tutorial. You are so generous with your time. I hope your family has a wonderful, and safe Thanksgiving.

[@barbararosselot2025]

Kay, thank you so much for this video and the others. I’ve just begun a second sock using this method of weaving in the ends as you go! Great tip! My first attempt at the “pop of color” at the cuff and contrasting heel and toe with some Christmas socks. 😊❤️

[@kathyphillips3473]

Kay,,, Thank you so much for showing how you weave your ends! I am definitely going to do it that way. 😃

[@ll29123]

Thank you for the weaving the ends as you go tip, that’s most helpful!

[@diposs937]

Thanks for a great video! My first time adding a pop of color on the cuff! Love how you weave in the ends , so simple now I don’t have to go back later and do them all at once ❤

[@mariesmith4087]

It is so nice to have you back! Ty for this video something for me to try

[@dollywilson3395]

Thanks for this video, Kay. I appreciate your detailed instructions. I'm still going to view the separate video, too though. Thank you.

[@courtniebri]

Thanks Kay! I like the tips for weaving in the ends, too.

[@annahutchens5446]

Thank you so much for the video about weaving in the ends. You made it so much clearer than some other videos I have watched on this technique. I wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving…🦃

[@ericallerton809]

Thanks Kay! I learned great tips! I love your videos and always recommend them to new sock knitters.

[@CarlaPowell]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had just been knitting my socks as they came off the skein. This technique will definitely take my socks up a few notches! ❤❤❤

[@marciaz5346]

Oh yay!! Keep the tutorials coming!!

[@denisewessman1079]

Perfect!!! I’m excited for scrappy socks. Thank you for sharing your talents ❤. Hoping that you had a wonderful holiday!!

[@akcalo]

Oh cool that's how I do the weave in! I saw the Steven West but I preferred weaving every stitch. Great minds 😀

[@janadachingwa9234]

Thank you. Very helpful on weaving the end on the top of sock

[@7ulianne]

[@knittingsinmyDNA]

Thanks, Kay!

[@MsKarenMR]

Thank you so very much for Sharing 💖!!

[@wendybradley8420]

Thanks again Kay

[@LindaSimpson]

Thank you Kay for sharing, I am going to be making scrappy socks next year and this is a great tutorial. Hugs xxx

[@vadec5909]

Thank you so much!! Kay, I enjoy your videos! And I love your socks

[@knitcrochetwhatever8177]

Tried scappy socks once..did not like it cause all the weaved ends made it too messy (at least for me). Excited to try again now that I have watched your videos!

[@trinettewells5013]

I've been looking forward to watching this video

[@pattaylor5713]

Hi Kay! I love the pop of color, gives it a great starting or finishing touch.

[@lesleyfarmer8143]

Love both videos and perfect timing as I am getting ready to knit my first pair of socks with a pop of color. Thanks!

[@sandyrinehart5566]

Thank you so much! Very helpful info, weaving in ends is not my favorite part of knitting. You have great ideas❤

[@zmannranch5637]

Ahhh, the purl approach makes so much sense 👏 Thank you, Kay, you solved the mystery! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@gaylejoseph6942]

Just wonderful~now off to try on a new project (socks, of course). Thank You and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family!

[@paulettenarkon9312]

Thank you! Love the tutorial and will try this next sock.. Hapoy Holidays and can’t wait for Vlogmas😊

[@Marielm1]

Brilliant! I have always admired your pop of color but didn’t dare. I now dare!😃thanks and Happy Thanksgiving for you and your family!

[@kevinorr6880]

Very nice. Thank you. I've caught the ends in, but have not wrapped them. I will from now, however. I also like the plain knit round too. Simple now that it's seen.

[@lornasharp4541]

Have been (rather impatiently) anticipating this. Not even watched yet xxx

[@GovWorkerFI]

This is such a great tutorial! I am so glad you posted it!

[@GovWorkerFI]

One question-- if you wanted to do this with DK weight would you still do one knit round?

[@CrazySockLady]

Yep

[@marilynshavor6496]

Love all your videos Kay. How much yarn do you allow for contrast toe, heel and pop of color on ribbing? How much for vanilla sock in size medium? Thank you for sharing so much with us all. 🇨🇱🥰💜

[@janice4892]

Thank you so much Kay! I love the pop of colour! Wrapping the working yarn on the last stitch is a great tip to not get a hole. Do you use this same method when making scrappy striped socks?

[@CrazySockLady]

Yep, check out the weaving in ends tutorial ♥️

[@annotlewski1104]

Good tutorial, but I'd like to see how you weave in your starting tail. Do you wrap it around a strand on one side of a column of the K2 P2 on inside of sock? I hope you can understand what I'm describing!😊

[@CrazySockLady]

I weave it in like normal. I show how I do that on my how to knit sock tutorials ♥️

[@antonellapavese3724]

Thank you Kay, this tutorial is very useful. Would you have any additional suggestions for adding a pop of color in toe-up socks? Thanks!

[@CrazySockLady]

It would be the same basis, a plain knit round after the color change.

[@antonellapavese3724]

@@CrazySockLady thank you!

[@robertadume7003]

I'm sorry if this was already answered/mentioned before, but does the one knit row as a transition between colors, does that count towards the total number of ribbing rows? (19 ribbing + 1 knit row = 20 rows? or 20 rows of rib + 1 knit row for transition between colors?) Or does this even matter?

[@CrazySockLady]

I count it as one of the rows

[@robertadume7003]

@@CrazySockLady thank you! 🥰

[@lindaschulman1789]

When weaving ends, you weave on each stitch? I’ve seen every other stitch. Both work?

[@CrazySockLady]

I can’t speak to doing it every other stitch. I’ve always done every stitch, like I show in this video.

[@TheJaw1045]

When you do 60 rounds for the leg of your sock, does that apply to a man's sock too?

[@kimjohnson9384]

Thank you!
