The 10 Steps to making a 3wedge heel or toe are:
1. At the start of first wedge; wrap the out of work needle behind the 1/2 or side mark. Crank, to other side and do the same.
2. Crank to other side and lift the last needle knit; repeat on the other side.
3. Repeat step 2. Then Stop
4. On the side opposite the Yarn Carrier lift all the remaining needles over to the heel mark you normally use. Crank over to that same heel mark and lift the last needle knit.
5. Repeat step 4 on the other side.
6. Put 3 needles down into work on opposite side of Yarn Carrier, lift the last needle knit. Repeat on other side.
7. Repeat step 6 until all needles are back into work. Stop, wrap that same needle (Behind 1/2 side mark) you wrapped the first time. Crank back and do the same on other side.
8. To start next wedge: On opposite side of Yarn Carrier, lift out of work the first needle next to 1/2 mark, then crank over to that side and lift the last needle knit. Repeat on the other side. [ Li

This video is a live recording of a 3-wedge Toe being made on a Circular Sock Machine. The Impromptu audio narration is supported by Text Banners along the bottom of the screen. There are several videos in this 3-wedge series. They include the shaping of a Heel, Toe-up and Toe-down using wedges instead of straight-line short rowing. This video was made for Members of the CSKM society as an educ...

How to make heels using 3 - Wedges on a Circular Sock machine. First part is a presentation comparing the 3-wedge heel to a traditional heel. The second part is a full demonstration of making 3-wedges in 3 colors. This is a CSKM Society member TH-cam video made for the education of the CSM craft of cranking.

This video demonstrates how to get knitting started on a Circular Sock Machine using an Erlbacher Speedster
IDK, the start up device seems so much easier than the bonnets.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Don't bother spending the $'s on a crunchy - an onionor orange/fruit net bag works fine .
For you visual folks, the process starts at 7:50
This was very helpful. I’ll try casting on again…. Hopefully 🙏 this time it works 😬🤓
This is a life saver. Thank you for this!
Love this video - trying to share on the CSKMS website, in the members' video section, but unfortunately, it is set to only play on youtube - can you adjust settings to allow for embedding? Thanks
Your video is excellent, clear instructions and very easy to follow. Thankyou I was able to start knitting.
I'm excited by this idea, but I'm having trouble following the instructions. Do you have a bullet point step list for this technique, without narrative? My 70yo brain requires simplicity.
Same here, am having trouble following it and writing it down to be able to reproduce
Thanks. Why not just put every other needle out of work? Instead of out completely?
not even this is necessary, just cast on every second needle or more, after a few rounds every needle is in work
I can see that the soft weight is made from an old sock but what is inside??
Thank you sooo much. This explains everything and the photos are very clear.
Last spring when I made this video this 3 wedge method was new to everyone, including myself. This video was made just after I worked most of the steps out over the winter of 2016. I now use this method all the time and will be making more videos that show it without all the confusion with the different colored ends or uncertainty on the transition between and at the end of each wedge.
I have another video showing the wedge method of shaping a heel or a toe. It is probably easier to follow because it does not use different colors per wedge so there are no yarn ends to add to the confusion on the corners. The self striping yarn does make the wedges more obvious. This video just got posted 2 weeks ago; it uses my Tuttle CSM that has a 66 slot cylinder and 22 slot ribber cone. It is posted on my ColoradoCranker TH-cam channel with my other Tuttle Videos. This method of using wedges is very trouble free when you use the soft weights on top as shown. Because there are only 2-needles lifted out of work on each side at the start of shaping and all the rest get lifted at one time, the most common problems new crankers have with dropped and incomplete stitches is no longer an issue. So I strongly encourage new crankers to carefully watch all the wedge videos then give it try. Wedges produce a full rounded toe and heel that looks good and fits many feet very nicely.
What size cylinder are you using?
This was a 64 slot cylinder😬
Thank you! I'm using a 54, so does that mean I only push down 2 needles at the end instead of 3?
It all depends on where the Heel mark is on your cylinder; how many needles are being shaped. It does not matter how many are left, just put down the needles that remain.
Thank you so very much, Candy, for this new method of making the heel and toe. Apart from the ease and speed of making the heel, is there an advantage of doing this method, ie wearability etc. ALSO where can I get that clamp you showed at the beginning of the video? Thank you. Mary-Ellen
Ya! Get the clamp at Home Depot! When you use soft weights this toe and heel shaping method is easy and trouble free. Because you shape just the first 2 needles of each wedge, then lift all the others at one time, this method totally eliminates all the headaches of constantly adjusting weighted forks or hooks.
Thank you, Candy.
YES mam....100% the best heel & toe ever. !!!!
