Toe Chimney Grafting // Technique Tuesday

[@vadec5909]

Wow thats a real nice graft!! Thank you

[@sandradbarker]

You make this look so easy ,I am going to try it right now on the ears of a baby bonnet !

[@carlytasmith5754]

Great idea! Will be using this technique in my next pair of socks🧶

[@inapickleknitting1694]

Excellent video demonstration! Your close-up photography is perfect and is enhanced but the captions and audio instructions. I can imagine many other situations where this technique would be useful and can’t wait for the next installment when you will tell us all about them. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and time commitment to sharing with us!

[@heidefries1825]

Great information! I'm a visual learner and this was very clear to me. I can see this would be helpful when the project is made with a busy colored yarn.

[@theastewart6721]

I found this video amazing! What a great way to do the graft! Looking forward to next Tuesday! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! An experienced knitter I messed up my finished socks when I could not make the Kitchener stitch correctly! Holly

Excellent video, Roxanne! Thank you. Glad to learn an alternate grafting for toes as I’m never quite happy with the look of the standard method (as I’m able to do it). Toe-up socks are great, but not the only option for graft-phobic knitters. 😊

This is great! I'm comfortable with kitchener, but I will keep this in mind for those who aren't.

[@denisenj3320]

I love your teaching technique

[@vivrbn]

Good technique to add to the library in the event that it would fit to a project. Thanks for sharing!

,. Eso. ..

[@katgore99]

Clearly a valuable thing to learn thank you.

[@maggiepatterson7949]

WONDERFUL! thank you!

[@CM-xn6xc]

Very clever! I’m going to use this on my next sock. Thanks.

[@kikib48grid]

[@dianagiles9467]

Thanks when I am ready to knit socks I will review your videos

[@paulagrnsy]

The first time I tried this, we were watching something on the computer; so I did it from memory. Bad idea! When I removed the chimney, 75% of the stitches weren't secured. I picked them up and knit-grafted them. I did, however, use the toe chimney successfully after reviewing your video.

[@RoxanneRichardson]

I'm glad you were able to rescue it and that it worked out!

[@mariemccullough9874]

thank you Eureka!!!

[@TOLady1]

Fantastic!

[@hristiyanamarcheva6433]

😮Thanks!

[@RomiW]

Thanks a LOT! 💖

[@GrapeApe2018]

What needle method did you use? I have learned on 9 inch circulars and the last decrease row is a #&%$#! To do once, I can't see repeating it did more times?

[@forvdr5231]

I like your curved needle. That actually duplicates the Kitchener, done easily.

[@denisekrupa4343]

When you tucked the red chimney into the green sock toe, it looked a little like Kermit the Frog!

[@paulagrnsy]

I love love loved it because I hate hate hate the Kitchener Stitch.

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thanks...

[@carlajewett1091]

Great tutorial. I’m always in a quandry knowing where to weave in the ends. Any suggestions? nycSox

[@RoxanneRichardson]

I usually run my yarn needle through the backs of purl stitches at an angle for several rows (on the sole), and then weave in for 5 or 6 sts, using reverse duplicate stitch.

[@christines1924]

Not as clearly stated as you usually do, Roxanne. I've done this before but I was getting confused by your instructions because more precise terminology wasn't used (ie, too many pronouns without knowing to what they were referring).
