I’ve been looking at several German short row heel videos and yours is the best I’ve come across as a beginner. You just explain well without filling in with chit chat. You also give really clear visuals, especially with the black background and white contrasting yarn. Thank you so much!

[@moiraoneill8381]

First short row heel that I have understood and able to do. Been a knitter for 50+ years. Thank you very much.

[@SuzanneBryan]

This is so wonderful to hear, Moira! ❤️ I've been knitting for even longer and still find there is always something new to learn! 😉

[@lisamont8182]

This is the best deminstration. I finally understand shrort rows. Thank you !!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@susanneboyd5667]

I could not understand German short row til you explained it so well.Thank you and I love knitting the heel that way instead

[@SuzanneBryan]

You’re welcome 😊

[@dickiecotton4053]

I have reallly grown in my knitting over the years because you have a very easy manner in teaching. Thanks for teaching me

[@SuzanneBryan]

What a lovely thing to say, Dickie, thank you! I love hearing that my videos are helpful! ❤️

[@schellywagoner8264]

Suzanne, you are a treasure. I couldn't get the hang of GSR to save my neck, and here you are making it all make sense. Thank you!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thanks so much for the great feedback, Schelly! You are so welcome! ❤️

[@schellywagoner8264]

@@SuzanneBryan if I may ask a couple of questions - I had 20 stitches on my heel needle and the heel turn was really easy! I had 7 stitches on the outside of the markers and 6 stitches in the middle. I haven't finished the cuff yet - barely 5 rounds in so far, actually. But the heel seems somewhat pointed to my eyes at this moment. My first question is, as I progress along the leg/cuff, will that become more normal looking? My second question is, if I had chosen to do 6 stitches on the outside and 8 stitches in the middle, would that have made less of a sharp turn? Thanks in advance!

[@rebeccagoetz3232]

Thank you so much for your clear and knowledgeable tutorial! When you said, “At this point, we can drop the marker,” my stomach clenched into a knot, and I thought “noooo, I might need the marker?”😮 You showed me the way and I reluctantly flicked away the markers. 😅

[@jerrys88]

What a great teacher you are. Your demonstration, explanations, and videography are all so clear. One of the best knitting videos I've watched. Thank you so much!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thanks, Jerrys88. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Knitting.

[@ЛайлиСултаналиева]

Thank you very much! Your tutorials are very helpful. English is not my native language, but I still can easily follow your explanation and demonstration of knitting process. Plus you don’t waste time on a loooong preambles, and I think that is quite an advantage of your videos!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you so much! Happy knitting.

[@labdian]

I've knitted a lot of socks over the years, but this is the first time I tried this heel. I just knitted alongside with your video and the heel turned out absolutely perfectly. Thank you so much for the simple explanations and the visual help. It's so much easier to do it if you see it in a video than trying to decipher a written instruction.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you! Happy knitting.

[@tammysurratt3616]

You are a wonderful knitting teacher. Very clear. Very helpful for all--especially those of us who are just learning. I appreciate you sincerely.

Thank you so much. Happy knitting.

[@sannaa2289]

you are the first instructor who truly explained the gsr heel and I think I might actually be able to accomplish knitting a sock, and I have watched a lot of videos, which have been useless as far as showing the full heel from beginning to end THANK YOU

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you! This is wonderful. Happy Knitting and Happy New Year, Suzanne

[@Noneya5241]

I’ve been having the same issue!!!

[@chujomiddleup]

It looks much easier and more beautiful than any other ways of knitting heels that I have ever tried! Thank you from Japan.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you! Happy knitting.

Simply the best, easiest, most sophistocated, refined, loveliest, most wonderful, short row heel I have ever seen, and I have been knitting socks a long time. Bless you and continue your work. I do so appreciate it. Thank you.

Thank you lifgrenj! Happy knitting.

EXCELLENT VIDEO DEMONSTRATION EVER. Used many times without an issue or bad result. I am a beginner at making socks and this was the best of all tutorials I watched and tried. There are so many to view but none like this one. Love the extra rounds before the adding back in the stitches. I could knit heels over and over it is made so easy in the overwhelming fear in the challenge of doing this step of making socks. Thank you very much.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you! Please share my videos with your social media groups. That helps me the most. Happy knitting.

[@theresacortez1374]

Suzanne, even though you posted this video years ago, I hope you'll see my comments. I just want to thank you. Your video worked out the best for me. I appreciated your step by step instructions, and the close up view of each stitch. Oh, and the extra comments explaining how it works. Thanks to you, I FINALLY, completed my first one following YOUR instructions! My first heel looks pretty good, am pretty confident the next one will look even better. I'm so happy I found your video!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wow, thank you!

[@llern3]

Thank you for the first comprehensive video tutorial I’ve ever found on Germans short row heal. I’ve been really intimidated to start a pair of socks despite the many videos and books a resourced, but with your guidance I’m confident I can get through it now! Again very clear, concise, practical, and also useful.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Very cool. Thanks. Happy knitting.

[@Butterflyjonesful]

Absolutely the best tutorial on GSR heels out there. I have need knitting for 21 years and this is my first time doing the GSR heel and it was so easy . Love this

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you, glad to be of help. Happy Knitting.

[@conniebueche3989]

I have knitting machines and Diana Sullivan is my favorite teacher for those, you are now my favorite hand knit teacher. Your videos make even the German short row process look achievable! Thank you!!!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wow, thank you!

[@hollyhamilton1297]

Hello Suzanne, I am so happy that I have completed my first heel successfully! I just watched your tutorial on the wrap and turn which seems more complicated. I have spent hours learning magic loop from the toe up, two socks at a time. You are a terrific teacher!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you, Holly, I really appreciate your very kind feedback! ❤️

[@lois7055]

Thank you. This is the best video I have ever seen on how to work the German short row heel. I have lost count of how many times I have attempted this heel. I think that working the two rows in between the turning is the secret for me. I love knitting socks even though I live in Australia and can only wear them for half of the year. So pleased I found you on KZbin.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you! Happy Knitting!

[@elbamessuti5925]

Finally I found somebody that explained this the right way , now I can knitt a sock . Thank you very much. I’d subscribe my self to this channel to keep learning...

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great! Happy knitting.

[@marylong8780]

I have bypassed so many patterns because of the German short rows. I totally understand the process now. I cannot thank you enough!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful!

[@vickyworley6974]

Just wanted to say thank you! I hav tried reg heels and afterthought heels but wen I finish knitting my sock I want it done. I wanted something I cud use all the time. I finally found a method I understand and can use thanks to yur video. I had trouble with dropped stitches and realized I am not getting completely under the double stitches. Every time I make a heel...I learn something. I will use this on every pair I make. Thank you again. Stay safe! Just a girl in Tx.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.

[@justwannacraftCathyM]

So glad I found this. I learned how to do a sock like this so many years ago before I really took up knitting again and actually made things. I had forgotten how and haven't seen it until now. I'm making socks for my grand daughter and it calls for 'boomerang heel'. Thanks so much for this.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Yay!

[@rebelrose7337]

Excellent, excellent tutorial!!!!!!!!!! As a new sock knitter, I have searched and searched for a video that both explains and demonstrate this technique and this one is the best I have seen!!! I now feel comfortable enough to “unfreeze ” and move forward with my sock!!! Thank you for what you do!!! 💕

[@SuzanneBryan]

Yay for "unfreezing'! You are very welcome, RR, I'm sure your socks are lovely! ❤️

[@alisonmann5832]

OMG, thank you so much! I COULD NOT figure this out from the pattern at all. I watched your video. Then I knit along with you as I watched again. I've gone from completely perplexed and aggravated to doing it. Yay!

Dear Suzanne, Thank you for your tutorial. I am doing a special project and this heel construction is just perfect for the work. I confess socks have not been a favourite of my many years of knitting and I had to watch your clear and concise instructions slowly to finally get my little grey cells to come up to speed. It was a pleasure to work along with your video. Thank you once again for sharing your knitting expertise and your excellent method of teaching.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have just taken what was a very confusing concept for me and broken it down into a fantastic step-by-step, understandable process. I have attempted GSR multiple times in the past without success. After figuratively having you sit beside me, I now have a completed GSR heel on a Christmas stocking I've been working on and it looks terrific! Blessings! ETA: Love those snoring dogs. :)

Thank you so much. This makes it worthwhile making these videos. Happy knitting.

[@vickyworley6974]

Just wanted to say thank you! I hav tried the heel flap and gusset...and then I tried a true after thought heel. But I wanted a contrasting heel that wud be finished wen I finished socks.

Very true, the only video that explaines how to devide the stitches. I have found other one, but the lady was not using needles to knit, but her hands. She was moving her hands so much, it was really confusing even she has explained everything very nice, but I am autistic and I just could not imagine how to do it since I hold the needles and yarn like you.

Hi Suzanne have a question for you. If you don't mind. When knitting the GSR toe up how far do I knit before knitting the heel. Do I knit 2 1/4 or more, less? Thanks!

[@SuzanneBryan]

I generally leave about 2.25" for the heel. You could do it perfectly by measuring how long your toe is, and leaving the same amount for the heel.

[@brendaj6777]

Thank you so much! I did leave approximately 2.25", took a guess. Never heard of the toe trick but I'll have to check that out.
