Not too many videos out there showing the actual pick up during heel construction for magic loop cuff downs! Thanks you so much. Clear concise tutorial.
Gusset confusion plus sheer determination to get it right kept me searching the internet for clear , understandable examples that my brain could understand ...So Glad I found your site! Thanks you so much for tutorials they are a wonderful !!! Hope to learn much more !
Wow, thank you! You really got me out a pickle. There are dozens of videos about 2aat socks to get started, but I could only find yours about how to get around the heals. I had tried it on my own and was thoroughly lost and confused. I had ripped out to the beginning of the flap, got confused after trying the flap again. You have really helped!
Wonderful explanation. You gave the clearest instructions I’ve ever heard! Thank you so much. Really helped me understand what I was trying to do! Sept. 2023
You saved my life! I was all tangled up several times! I was almost in tears. I am so glad I found your helpful, easy to understand video! You have saved me and my socks 🧶🧦
Thank you so very much! I love doing 2aat socks but could never get the Heal and Gusset correct. Now I know the secret is to work on the second sock first for the Gusset!!! What a life saver. Thanks again
I did it!! I have to admit - I love the look of a short row or afterthought heel, I just think they look nicer. AND I could do them 2 at a time, so I did it that way for years. I've come to accept that I love the FIT of a heel flap better, but I just couldn't figure out the 2 at a time thing, so I started making them one at a time - and honestly, that blows. hahaha . THANK YOU FOR THIS! So clear, so easy to follow along, thank you for sharing! I am a 2 at a time heel flap girl now!
You have really helped me with the technique of combining both socks and systematically picking up the stitches from both gussets. I have spent too much time trying to work it on my own!
Thank you! Trying to work out brain fog (a gift of COVID-19), thought I would challenge myself making a pair of socks. Your videos were sooo helpful and last night I completed a pair.
Very helpful information on how to do 2 at a time. But I just don't understand how to pick up the stitches for sock no 1 after sock 2 is done. Can you please help me?
Wow! I got a little lost at the last part (the last part in moving from sock two back to sock one...getting yarn in the right place...do you just jump to sock one, or do you turn the needles in a new direction?)... but think this will have me able to do 2aat socks. My first attempt a few weeks back had me going to dpns upon the heel areas. Would love to master this. Your voice is so gentle and easy to follow. Thank you.
I’m so glad for this video, but can you explain to me who you switched the alignment of the socks before the heel turn and after? I feel stupid that I can’t think of how you did that. I’m working on your vanilla socks currently and I’m having a hard time keeping it all straight now trying 2 at a time.
Yes - I haven't converted it from the MKAL format to a standard pattern yet but the pattern is available here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/conchoidal-sock-mkal
@@TheUnapologeticKnitter Thank you I just downloaded your pattern. Now I have one other question. Do you or will you have a how to actually see how to pick up the sets for the first sock working it 2 at a time?
@@merylblount6832 I have another video on how to work a gusset heel that shows the steps of picking up the actual stitches: th-cam.com/video/qgyHmwtLvqQ/w-d-xo.html. This is for 1aat but the same theory applies.
I’m knitting your Romantical pattern. It looks in the demo that when you say “pick up and knit” that you are just picking up, not knitting after the pick up. Is this correct?
Hi Mimi - the stitches do get "knit" in sense. You will insert your needle under the legs of the edge of the heel flap stitch (that's the pick up) and then you will wrap the working yarn around the needle before pulling it through the fabric to create the new stitch on your needle (that's the "and knit" part). I hope that helps!
Excellent tutorial, thank you so much. Front door/back door works for me!
You have an excellent calm teaching method.

This is exactly what I needed! I've been stymied by the process for working the heel flap and gusset on socks made 2aat

P.S. Your knitting is incredible... Such an even tension and wonderful fabric! You are so kind to share with all of us!
I wish I had watched this before I was half way through my heel! This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for the easy to follow steps.

I’d also appreciate a little video on that part. Otherwise, this video was the BEST!
