I literally started knitting 5 days ago after crocheting for 10 years. I cried when I finished my first sock and I'm not ashamed to admit it. 😂 Something I thought was impossible for years and thanks to you I've done it! EVERYONES GETTING SOCKS FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.
congratulations ^^ I am also a crocheter for years now and I started knitting last year (because I was in a sick leave, and just was staying all the time in my bed 😅) I have made a hat (last year) with a circular needle and finished today my pair of gloves with dpns. The gloves were challenging at first but I did well for my first try. I toltally understand you big happiness and your tears. Next project is gonna be: socks. Wish me luck ^^ and good luck as well with your next projects ^^
I’ve been crocheting for about 3-4 months and my brother brought up my knitting needles that I don’t use anymore, so I decided to get back into it (I just started today) :) I’m so proud of myself for doing this.
I took up knitting two weeks ago... Just learnt the basic knit and purl... Now I'm going to try a sock with this tutorial. I did lose the instruction at the heel... I was confused and its done fast... Thanks to pause and watch again... I'll give it a go... If you see a video of a 56 Yr old male huddled in a corner crying insanely, rocking back and forth, vowing never to do it again... That's me and its going well... 😃
I am having such a great laugh with your comment! Making socks and gloves are my next projects after making an ireland flag scarf for a friend and a 4'2" wide by 4'8"(have to measure again) long shawl. This is going to be a fun project. I'm just missing the threading needle. Good luck with the socks!! Do you by chance have extra space in the corner for me to curl up in fetal position as I cry getting myself lost part way through making mine??

Yes, what is that magic? Sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can’t. IDK how that is and it happens with Kitchenor stitch too. It’s hit or miss and I’m frogging over and over and that section of yarn gets a bit over worked. I’ve knitted 6 pairs of socks so I can do it but it takes a while.
One sock down and now on the second! Getting over SSS (second sock syndrome). Thanks for getting me through the hurdle of knitting a sock for the first time. I now have utter respect for this humble garment!! 🧦 Update: now finished my second sock 🧦🧦! Huge thanks - I’ve learned so much following this video! Now for another pair to hone my skills 👍🏻😀
Kristin, I can’t thank you enough for posting this. I used your tutorial to knit my very first pair of socks earlier this year. I had wanted to knit socks for years, but was too scared. I didn’t ever think I was good enough to do it, but I did! I’ve since a pair for two of my kids and for my husband. I’ve knit more pairs for me, but the first pair is my favorite because I am so proud of them. They’re not perfect, but they’re warm and comfortable. Again, thanks for the tutorial!! If you’re feeling like I was, go for it! You can do it and you’ll be so proud!
Many years ago, as a young child, we used > get socks, hankies & toffees for Xmas. i also wore white cotton knitted socks. This in the Union of South Africa, now Republic of S.A.
I started knitting at the grand old age of 60, January 2021. After the completion of several hats and a couple of basic jumpers, my daughter challenged me to knit her some socks. Cue terror!!!! 😬Then I found your tutorial and written instructions and away I went. I love the way you explain everything so well making, what seemed impossible, possible. I have now finished the socks and have wrapped them up as a stocking filler (lol) Thank you so much for making it a painless process. I will certainly be visiting you again. 😀
i just knitted my first sock ever with your tutorial, thank you for explaining stuff so great!! (also first knitted sock feels like a huge success for me, omg)
OMG, I only knitted one pair of socks 🧦 ever, And no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t get it, you my lady are an excellent teacher, I been watching your video for over a week, and honestly I feel confident I can try again knitting a pair by following your video, wow, you make it look so easy, I am blown away, I will keep you posted when I finish my 2 nd pair ever of 🧦 socks, thank you, thank you, thank you, you have no idea how many videos I have watched, your is by far the best.
Thank you so much for the free pattern and video. I appreciate the numbered sections listed for the video. I have tried about a dozen different patterns and watched numerous videos trying to knit socks. I think your video seems to be the easiest to follow.
I'm the opposite! Of all the methods, I dislike the 9 inch circulars the most due to horrible, crampy fingers when I use this method. I've been knitting socks for years, too - I'll pass on these, though. Just goes to prove that we are all different in our preferences.😉💜
Thank you Kristin! I’ve been knitting off and on for 30+ years and NEVER attempted knitting socks because I thought it was too hard. I just completed my FIRST SOCK with this EXCELLENT Tutorial! I can’t believe I did it! I am so proud of myself and GRATEFUL to you for putting this video together for people like me. I’m a visual learner.
OH MY!!!! I did it! I not only knitted a sock, my friend...but I finished the pair! I invested in a second needle to work magic loop when I got halfway through the process. I had finished up to the plain stockinette portion of the foot & decided I want to make sure there's no second sock anxiety for me this time. So I started on my 2nd sock & played catch up until I only had to work the easy part of stockinette on each sock until I reached the tip of my baby toe on each sock. Leaving only the toe decreases & the dreaded (for me anyway) kitchener stitch. But I tell you, my fears & anxieties are now a thing of the past. Your tutorial + pattern made it an amazing lesson in a simple vanilla sock. What a wonderful experience! I can now say with confidence I'm a sock knitter! In fact, I'm addicted. Thank you, dear Kristin.🥰 p.s. I love your channel.
Thank you so much, knit my vety first pair of socks. I am gifting them to my grandmother for christmas. She always knits socks for everyone in the famil. So I thought I ought to make her a pair for once. Your tutorial was most helpful !
oh my gosh i just finished my first knitting project that wasn't a scarf and i couldn't have done it without you thank you so much!!! your explanations were so easy to follow. again thank you!!
I just knit my first sock, thank you so much! I've been knitting "straight things" for years, tea towel, scarves, etc. and was very intimidated to try anything with shape. This tutorial was very easy, and I'm looking forward to making many socks as Christmas gifts! Thanks again :) only comment is at the end, when you say weave your ends in and block, I'm not sure what that means? A quick description of that would be super helpful, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a video/some instructions online.
Just finished my first sock ever because of this video, and honestly it was super easy?? This video has me thinking I'm a sock genius with how easily it knit up! Thanks for making such a clear and concise tutorial!
Seriously, I keep coming back to this tutorial everytime I need to turn a heel. It is so helpful, the pacing is great. Thank you so much (on my forth pair now).
I started knitting socks in Magic Loop. Then I challenged myself that I also wanted to be capable knitting socks with 5 dpn's. Guess what, that is by far my favorite way of knitting socks. Love this episode, certainly helpful for knitters who want to knit socks.
I've watched quite a few knitting tutorials and gotten more and more confused. But this was so straight-forward, thorough, great camera angle, excellent! I'm knitting socks now! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video and the accompanying pattern! 6 weeks ago I knitted my first 'test' sock from some old yarn in my stash after a 5+ year knitting hiatus, and today I finished my second full pair! This is an excellent way for beginners like me who were always afraid of patterns or for getting 'back on the horse'. "Adventurous Beginner" was the perfect level description. New socks for everyone!
I knitted a sock, and it was successful 🌻🦋 didn't think 🤔 I could do it,but I did ❤️ I did the German row, and afterthought ❤️❤️ but, I like this tutorial 🌻you explain it beautiful 🥰 thank you 🌻 blessings 🤗 I can do this 🤣😂😆
Well done tutorial! I have been knitting socks for a while, and yes once you have done it you get to understand how patterns work. I love following along with your step-by-step instructions. I think it will be very helpful for sock beginners! Thank you.
I’ve been crocheting for 11 years. I learned the basics of knitting yesterday. I want to make socks for my mom as a surprise. She has been wanting me to learn to knit for years.
After a few days of here and there, I knitted my first sock, many thanks to you! Like others commented here, there is, for some reasons, a great fear of sock knitting. For 40 years, I knitted a sweater (my first project with a coach), many scarves, hats and dish clothes... but I would not go to the knitting of socks! This new year, one of my goals is to face my fears of any endeavors worth taking - knitting socks is one of them! I thought I would take advantage of my Christmas break and get a head start on concurring this sock knitting fear. Between you and the Crazy Socks Lady, I knitted my first sock! Yay! I have to pause the second sock of the pair due to the sold out of the yarn type and color I used for the first sock. But I am thinking of getting another supply of wool yarn for the next pair. This time I will be sure I get enough yarn for the project. Do you have a favorite 100% American wool brand you would recommend? Again, many thanks for the tutorial!
Oh my god, I wanted to knit socks this year and I finished them on the 31st of December, today, I am so deeply thankful for teaching me this art that I always assumed was lost A dream come true, I'm so proud of my first handknitted pair of socks
I am a completely youtube taught crocheter and branched out into knitting a couple years ago (also youtube taught). My husband has been asking for socks ever since, I have been so scared of socks that I have put him off until I found your video. Omg they aren't as scary as I thought they were, you would have thought I cured cancer with how excited I was when I finished my first sock. Thank you so very much for this easy to follow video you've made me a sock hero!!!
This was amazing! I never knew that I was picking up and knitting stitches the wrong way.....🤣.....you have inspired me to knit a pair of socks....loved the heel instructions....like magic! Now to pick the colors 😊🖤⭐️
Yeah , best explanation of the Kitchener stitch I ever saw . That stitch has kept me from knitting socks for the last ten years. I'm going tp pick up my needles and give it a try. Thank you of the demo! 😅😅😅
This is really the very best tutorial on sock knitting I have seen! The camera angles are perfect and your instructions were very clear and to the point. I also appreciated the relaxing music in the background and the time stamps 😊 Thank you so much for doing this video 🎉👏🏻
I have never seen a tutorial as simple as this one. It just gave me the confidence to knit a pair of sock. I have tried to knit socks,,but when l came to the heel, l made a mess, and left the work. Brilliant tutorial!
I got a book with 52 sock patterns, and it's very intimidating to go from flat knitting scarves without pattern, to knitting in the round and reading patterns, this video is very clear and is a god send!
I have knit my whole life and come from an Irish family of knitters not one of whom would ever tackle the heel turn!! lol Im the first! So excited about my first pair of socks. I didn't them on 3 and then 4 needles and followed your video each step! Thanks you
Wow, thank you so much. I have been knitting for over 40 years but I always felt intimidated by socks. I have just turned my first heel after following your tutorial. I'm so grateful to you. Have a super day. Lots of love from the 🇬🇧 🥰
my first sock ever was a complete nightmare but this really helped me get out the rut thinking I just suck at socks! great tutorial, I'm off to make the second one! thank you
I just wanted to say thank you. Knitting the heel of the sock felt so daunting and complicated (nearly impossible) from reading the knitting pattern that I first tried. But your tutorial is so well explained step by step that I did it with ease. Thank you so much. I now know I can confidently knit new and fun sock patterns. (And go back and finish the one I first started haha)
One of my goals for 2022 was to learn to knit socks. Thanks to your tutorial I just finished the first one. I would send a pic but the comments won’t allow.
I have this video saved to my bookmarks bar in my browser because I re-watch it every time I start a new sock. Best sock video on TH-cam in my opinion.
I’ve been knitting for years and have found socks to be so confusing. I’ve bought heaps of books on how to knit socks and your video has just made things a lot easier to understand. Thank you.
I'm a crocheter who has only ever been able to do a basic knit scarf, no pearl, nothing. This video has now reminded me how to pearl, which I'm thankful for, and I want to jump onto doing socks as I have the most beautiful cotton yarn that I accidentally got. Ngl, I'm still intimidated and a bit confused with some of the steps in this tutorial, but I definitely can't wait to give it a try
I've never knitted and I want to make my own wool socks. I plan on taking a knitting class after the holidays and start making my own clothes. I'm tired of the (expletive) they sell you these days and I want things that are going to last. I'll be coming back to your channel for more knowledge. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video!! I've tried to knit socks before and gave up because i found it too hard, but you make it so easy!! I just finished my first sock, going to start on the second and I'm alredy feeling that everyone i know is getting socks as gifts from now on
Thank you so very much for the way you did this video. Your explanations just flowed, and you made everything so easy to understand. So much so that I feel I can actually do this now. It doesn't feel to me that I can knit if I haven't even made any socks yet, and it's just another great reason to use the Kitchener stitch. Such a great way to join edges together, isn't it? Talk about seamless😂.
I can see this tutorial has 3 years and I just came across it. I just watched it, as it is, it was so pleasant to watch and next time I will just follow along. You gave very clear instructions, this shouldn't be difficult at all. I was crocheting first and recently I started to knit. Have a fab day, Love!
I have just finished my first EVER sock in a DAY!!! And i swear it looks like it's the 100th sock i knitted 😍 The video and the pattern, ugh PER-FECT 🌸 I definitely will knit more with your instructions. I used a bit thicker yarn with 3.5mm needles and casted on 48 stitches for 8 number foot and made the leg of the socks smaller. I really liked how it turned out. Time to start the next foot 😂 THANKS A LOT💜
This is exactly how I knit my socks. Perfect timing though as I've just started Christmas knitting for a female friend and wasn't sure how long the sock should be before starting the heel flap. So, 6"it is!! X
Oh, my gosh, I watched the video, just to brush up on it, and I loved the way You did the Kitchener stitch, very much easier , then the way I learned it.. thanks,a million.. I saved your video.
Ive been knitting for 10+ years and just now starting doing other things besides hats and scarves. Your sock patter has helped a lot. My heal turn didn’t quite end like yours but thats ok, my grandma still loved them. ❤️
I am now on my second pair. This video gave me the confidence to attempt this feat. This is something that I have wanted to do for years. Thank you thank you thank you!❤
I’d never knitted anything except the basic square we did in home economics class a long , long time ago. I was searching for crochet patterns when I stumbled across this gem of a video. I can’t believe I’m knitting socks now. Thank you! Brilliant video, so easy to follow.
it took me many months of frogging and restarting but i just finished my first sock! your tutorial was amazing and i'm ready to knit all my heart's desires now!!!!!
I just finished my first sock EVER!!!! I’m 20 and have knit since about 8 years old or so and finally made the jump to knit a sock. It’s very hole-y and I had to undo this stupid thing a billion times before I figured out how knitting magic loop works and I also have so many ladders that a small colony of ants could easily climb up the mess but, none the less she is beautiful… and most importantly finished. P.S. thanks for teaching me how to knit my first sock.
Thank you so much for your very straight forward tuition in sock knitting. I started a few years ago and have read and tried very many ways, via good tutorials and written patterns, but for some reason found that your instruction just clicked easily with me. So thank you 💕
“If you are watching this, I’m assuming you that you have completed knitting the foot of your sock”… nope, I came here to see if it was even feasible (for me), and I will not be knitting any time soon 😅, but I love the videos. Very soothing!
I started knitting and crocheting 2 years ago. First time going for socks. Im a little bit lost with step 5 i hope i will get in practice. Nice informative video UPDATE: finished my first sock 🎉
Kristin, you are a fantastic knitter and an instructor. Thank you for all your help, I am very proud of myself for having completing a pair of socks without having to unravel, thanks to you!

I am also a crocheter for years now and I started knitting last year (because I was in a sick leave, and just was staying all the time in my bed 😅)
I have made a hat (last year) with a circular needle and finished today my pair of gloves with dpns. The gloves were challenging at first but I did well for my first try. I toltally understand you big happiness and your tears.
Next project is gonna be: socks. Wish me luck ^^
and good luck as well with your next projects ^^
I’ve been crocheting for about 3-4 months and my brother brought up my knitting needles that I don’t use anymore, so I decided to get back into it (I just started today) :) I’m so proud of myself for doing this.

I took up knitting two weeks ago... Just learnt the basic knit and purl... Now I'm going to try a sock with this tutorial.
I did lose the instruction at the heel... I was confused and its done fast... Thanks to pause and watch again... I'll give it a go... If you see a video of a 56 Yr old male huddled in a corner crying insanely, rocking back and forth, vowing never to do it again...
That's me and its going well... 😃
Haha you are so funny. Did you succeed?
I am having such a great laugh with your comment! Making socks and gloves are my next projects after making an ireland flag scarf for a friend and a 4'2" wide by 4'8"(have to measure again) long shawl. This is going to be a fun project. I'm just missing the threading needle. Good luck with the socks!! Do you by chance have extra space in the corner for me to curl up in fetal position as I cry getting myself lost part way through making mine??
You can do it Mr. Gunn!!!
You are very brave🤩

Three hundred likes and only one comment lol
When I turned my first heel, I was so excited. "What is this magic?" At that point, I knew I could knit ANYTHING! 😂
Omgg HAHAA cutee
You're soft
Yes, what is that magic? Sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can’t. IDK how that is and it happens with Kitchenor stitch too. It’s hit or miss and I’m frogging over and over and that section of yarn gets a bit over worked. I’ve knitted 6 pairs of socks so I can do it but it takes a while.
Excellent! ❤ You take the fear out of a scary proposition. Thank you!!!! ❤❤

I come back here every time I need to do a heel, gusset, & toes. this video is the best sock knitting video out there.

I can crochet now I’m moving to the knitting
i know neither but i’ll figure this out eventually
Thank you!!! Finally a heel, flap, gusset tutorial that makes sense! I can do it now!
I recommend 9" circulars for socks. No dpns or second long circular to lose. It makes for an extremely portable project.
I'm the opposite! Of all the methods, I dislike the 9 inch circulars the most due to horrible, crampy fingers when I use this method. I've been knitting socks for years, too - I'll pass on these, though. Just goes to prove that we are all different in our preferences.😉💜

This was amazing! I never knew that I was picking up and knitting stitches the wrong way.....🤣.....you have inspired me to knit a pair of socks....loved the heel instructions....like magic! Now to pick the colors 😊🖤⭐️
Yeah , best explanation of the Kitchener stitch I ever saw . That stitch has kept me from knitting socks for the last ten years. I'm going tp pick up my needles and give it a try. Thank you of the demo! 😅😅😅
This is really the very best tutorial on sock knitting I have seen! The camera angles are perfect and your instructions were very clear and to the point. I also appreciated the relaxing music in the background and the time stamps 😊 Thank you so much for doing this video 🎉👏🏻
Wow! This tutorial was so clear. Makes me want to try knitting socks, which I never thought I would want to do 🙂
I have never seen a tutorial as simple as this one. It just gave me the confidence to knit a pair of sock.
I have tried to knit socks,,but when l came to the heel, l made a mess, and left the work.
Brilliant tutorial!
I got a book with 52 sock patterns, and it's very intimidating to go from flat knitting scarves without pattern, to knitting in the round and reading patterns, this video is very clear and is a god send!
i did it my first pair of socks ! great tutorial !!!! watched it about 50 times! more please
I have knit my whole life and come from an Irish family of knitters not one of whom would ever tackle the heel turn!! lol Im the first! So excited about my first pair of socks. I didn't them on 3 and then 4 needles and followed your video each step! Thanks you
Wow, thank you so much. I have been knitting for over 40 years but I always felt intimidated by socks. I have just turned my first heel after following your tutorial. I'm so grateful to you. Have a super day. Lots of love from the 🇬🇧 🥰
I work my decreases opposite from yours. I use K2tog, then SSK. My way makes a bold line of decreases. Your way makes the decreases invisible.
my first sock ever was a complete nightmare but this really helped me get out the rut thinking I just suck at socks! great tutorial, I'm off to make the second one!
thank you
I just wanted to say thank you. Knitting the heel of the sock felt so daunting and complicated (nearly impossible) from reading the knitting pattern that I first tried. But your tutorial is so well explained step by step that I did it with ease. Thank you so much. I now know I can confidently knit new and fun sock patterns. (And go back and finish the one I first started haha)
One of my goals for 2022 was to learn to knit socks. Thanks to your tutorial I just finished the first one. I would send a pic but the comments won’t allow.
Ive watched so many sock tutorials with disappointment... Finally i found "the one".. So well explained.. Thank you!!!
I have used knitting elastic thread for top band rib and use it during flap and heel turn + several rows to under foot.
I have this video saved to my bookmarks bar in my browser because I re-watch it every time I start a new sock. Best sock video on TH-cam in my opinion.
I’ve been knitting for years and have found socks to be so confusing.
I’ve bought heaps of books on how to knit socks and your video has just made things a lot easier to understand. Thank you.
I'm a crocheter who has only ever been able to do a basic knit scarf, no pearl, nothing. This video has now reminded me how to pearl, which I'm thankful for, and I want to jump onto doing socks as I have the most beautiful cotton yarn that I accidentally got. Ngl, I'm still intimidated and a bit confused with some of the steps in this tutorial, but I definitely can't wait to give it a try
Hi! Thanks so much! I made my first sock ever and I'm starting the other one! without your video it would be completely impossible. ❤
I've never knitted and I want to make my own wool socks. I plan on taking a knitting class after the holidays and start making my own clothes. I'm tired of the (expletive) they sell you these days and I want things that are going to last. I'll be coming back to your channel for more knowledge. Thank you so much!
I finally finished my first sock. 😁 I had to redo it three times because it was coming out too big, but I finally got it right. Thank you soso much!t
Thank you so much for this video!! I've tried to knit socks before and gave up because i found it too hard, but you make it so easy!! I just finished my first sock, going to start on the second and I'm alredy feeling that everyone i know is getting socks as gifts from now on
Thank you so very much for the way you did this video. Your explanations just flowed, and you made everything so easy to understand. So much so that I feel I can actually do this now. It doesn't feel to me that I can knit if I haven't even made any socks yet, and it's just another great reason to use the Kitchener stitch. Such a great way to join edges together, isn't it? Talk about seamless😂.
Knitting for simple mortals 😁. I already love this lady.
I can see this tutorial has 3 years and I just came across it. I just watched it, as it is, it was so pleasant to watch and next time I will just follow along. You gave very clear instructions, this shouldn't be difficult at all. I was crocheting first and recently I started to knit. Have a fab day, Love!
I have just finished my first EVER sock in a DAY!!! And i swear it looks like it's the 100th sock i knitted 😍 The video and the pattern, ugh PER-FECT 🌸 I definitely will knit more with your instructions. I used a bit thicker yarn with 3.5mm needles and casted on 48 stitches for 8 number foot and made the leg of the socks smaller. I really liked how it turned out. Time to start the next foot 😂 THANKS A LOT💜
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I managed to make my first ever pair of socks -and understand how- thanks to your clear explanations & visuals !
This is exactly how I knit my socks. Perfect timing though as I've just started Christmas knitting for a female friend and wasn't sure how long the sock should be before starting the heel flap. So, 6"it is!! X
I'm a beginner about kniting, and i really excited to watch your video. I can't wait to make my first socks as i dream it for so long.
You are SUCH an excellent teacher. I have no fears and am most excited to start knitting socks!
I can’t tell you how helpful it was to have a video to use along with your pattern! It made knitting my first pair of socks such a breeze! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you found it helpful 🤗💖💖💖
Oh, my gosh, I watched the video, just to brush up on it, and I loved the way You did the Kitchener stitch, very much easier , then the way I learned it.. thanks,a million.. I saved your video.
Just finished making these socks 🧦!!! Spent the past 24 hours making them and I can't be any more happy with them🤗
I can't believe it I've been looking at I don't know how many video for sock and it the first one that don't scare me! 🤗 Thanks
Ive been knitting for 10+ years and just now starting doing other things besides hats and scarves. Your sock patter has helped a lot. My heal turn didn’t quite end like yours but thats ok, my grandma still loved them. ❤️
Ok so no matter how many times i restart my heal turn and do it exactly as you it always ends on the wrong side. I don’t know what im doing wrong.
I am now on my second pair. This video gave me the confidence to attempt this feat. This is something that I have wanted to do for years. Thank you thank you thank you!❤
I’d never knitted anything except the basic square we did in home economics class a long , long time ago.
I was searching for crochet patterns when I stumbled across this gem of a video.
I can’t believe I’m knitting socks now.
Thank you!
Brilliant video, so easy to follow.
finally, a knitting content creator with good background music!!!
this is without a doubt the most wholesome comment section I've ever been in🥰 (I'm so excited to knit my own pair of socks as well!!)
it took me many months of frogging and restarting but i just finished my first sock! your tutorial was amazing and i'm ready to knit all my heart's desires now!!!!!
I actually made 2 different versions of socks using your tutorial. You are the best and I love your videos. ❤
I just finished my first sock EVER!!!! I’m 20 and have knit since about 8 years old or so and finally made the jump to knit a sock. It’s very hole-y and I had to undo this stupid thing a billion times before I figured out how knitting magic loop works and I also have so many ladders that a small colony of ants could easily climb up the mess but, none the less she is beautiful… and most importantly finished. P.S. thanks for teaching me how to knit my first sock.
I DID IT! I made my first sock!! 🎉🎉🎉….now I need to make the other one…
Thank you for sharing. I just bought some yarn and downloaded the PDF pattern, can't wait to get started!
Thank you so much for your very straight forward tuition in sock knitting. I started a few years ago and have read and tried very many ways, via good tutorials and written patterns, but for some reason found that your instruction just clicked easily with me. So thank you 💕
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Carol Ann. Thank you for letting me know and Happy Sock knitting! 😄
This is the most amazing tutorial I have ever found! I made my first sock with no trouble. You made it seam easy and I had a great time. Thank you!
The best socks knitting tutorial on TH-cam. I love the relaxing music in the background as well. Thanks so much.
knit my first sock and it was magical thank you so much i cannot wait to go crazy making socks for everyone i know, they better watch out!!!!
Great tutorial! Socks are simple yet have so many great techniques. If you can knit a sock you can knit most things!
So glad you enjoyed it! and I completely agree!!
“If you are watching this, I’m assuming you that you have completed knitting the foot of your sock”… nope, I came here to see if it was even feasible (for me), and I will not be knitting any time soon 😅, but I love the videos. Very soothing!
This is the first video thar actually helped me understand the concept of doing a sock . Thank you
I started knitting and crocheting 2 years ago. First time going for socks. Im a little bit lost with step 5 i hope i will get in practice. Nice informative video
UPDATE: finished my first sock 🎉
I made a pair of socks! Thank you for your clear tutorial and relaxing music.
I'm So Glad I Found YOU, I finally can knit a sock!!!
Kristin, you are a fantastic knitter and an instructor. Thank you for all your help, I am very proud of myself for having completing a pair of socks without having to unravel, thanks to you!
