This is my first pattern from you, and my first MKAL. I just wanted to say I deeply appreciate how detailed this video is (that there is a video at all!), that you're showing both English and Continental style and how nicely written the pattern is. I already know this will be very fun to knit and I'm looking forward to the end result. Thank you!
Thank you so much! There's something new and fun to try each week during this Sock Along. I can't wait to see the sections build together.
I think what impresses me the most is you break your yarn with your hands!! 😬😂
May I just say how much I enjoy you, Stephen, and it is a real treat that Clue 1 goes for a hour!
Oh, dear! I thought the cast on was Tuesday 16 July, not 9 July!
I haven't balled my hanks yet. Well, I've done one mini-skein while watching this.
This does take sock knitting to the next level, these are going to be some of the most original socks anyone has ever met.
The knitting flat has me intrigued.
Господи! Какая тонкая нить! Как это сложно! Какой Вы умница! Люблю смотреть Ваши ролики!❤
You made a shawl socks!! Thats amazing!! ❤️❤️
At the beginning I was a little frustrated, but then I just needed to change the yarn and now I really loved it. At a beginner knitter it is so helpful to watch and rewatch the video!!
Wow amazing, you never fail to surprise Stephen! I love this design element and am really excited to cast these on xxx
So excited for this surprise sockalong. Stephen you are such a great teacher I think even if the final product is not my cup of tea I will still learn loads making the sock.
Hi Stephen, it was a surprise for me to start flat, I had to read the pattern twice to see if I was right 😅. Your video is very helpful, thank you so much!! Here in Italy is so so hot today but I’m going to start my sock anyway!! Ciao!! 🇮🇹
FABULOUS! BRILLIANT! THANK YOU, Stephen West!
Mi primer patrón de tus calcetines y mi primer kal contigo, super emocionada 😊
Hi I've never knitted socks before but I've bought 😊the yarn so I'm hoping to do them! Kaye 😊
At first when seeing the pattern I was a little nervous about all the techniques but with this video it all became so easy and clear! Looove it. Excited what’s to come 😊
Thanks so much!
Wow! what a beautiful welt!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Darn it Stephen! I wasn’t going to make these. After watching how can I not make them? Awesome instructions! ❤
I was exactly the same. Do I need any more WIPs in my life? NO. But then I saw the video and had to quickly scrounge my stash. I am enjoying the first clue. Thank you, Stephen!
Amazing design, I always look at your projects and think they'll be too complicated for me but once I get started I remember I only need to concentrate on one row at a time. Can't wait to see how my colours work out on the welts😊
That's such a great outlook...you can do it!
At the beginning of the video I was like ‘wow this looks fun’. After contrast number 1 I was like ‘huh, this is not your basic K1P2 sock’. By the third contrast color I was like ‘hmmm….maybe not for you’ 😊 I really enjoyed your manner in teaching this. Thank you.
Edited to add : the ‘not for you’ referred to my skill level, or lack there of, not the sock. The sock looks super fun!
Hope you finish because it will be unique and you never know how it is going to look like at the end. Just take it one row at a time. And if it is not for you there is probably someone in your life that would love it!
This is absolutely incredible. A work of art!
excited to try these and relieved to see we are starting flat!
Knitting flat??? From the beginning it brings surprises 🥰🎁
Great tutorial, thanks ☺️
These socks are going to be wild!!!!!! Gotta make a pair for hubby
Oh my gosh!, I could hardly listen for looking at your sweater! So good!❤❤❤
Oh thank you!
Love the colors you have in your example yarn.
Ooh, I love it already!🎉💜
Its my first KAL with you, Stephen, and I am having so much fun! Just got to the Chevron section and I havent looked ahead - no spoilers! - can't wait to see what it will look like! Thank you for all that you do
Have fun!
Wow! Can’t wait to start knitting it. So creative!!
Hope you enjoy it!
So appreciate your very detailed tutorials. I don't know who initially started doing tutorial for knitting patterns, but it is so thoughtful and helpful with new techniques. Thank you for your time and patience.
Wow, what a unique sock design, fun! If you make the foot black and white it will be like 80's aesthetic, ha
You are truly brilliant! Thank you so much! Loving this! ❤
It’s so beautiful as always thank you very much
Can’t wait to start this pattern 🧦 🤩
So chuffed with myself....I have completed Clue 1 and with a striped binding too!!! I hope the next clue isn't any trickier technically. I feel this level of difficulty is manageable!
Wow, grandiose Konstruktion ❤
So exciting and intriguing!! Thank you so much for such a clear tutorial. This is my first MKAL I'm very excited to learn these new techniques which you have explained so clearly.
I hope you enjoy it!
So much imagination and the colours are beautiful
Just picked up my yarn and about do my swatch tonight, wish me luck. Never made a sock before
So exciting!
I’m torn on what size to do. My foot measures 11” should I do size 4 or size 5??
Omg, that looks amazing
Espectacular!❤❤❤
I’ve done knit alongs before, but never a mystery one! This will also be my first time knitting one of your patterns. I’ve just watched your video and i LOVE your enthusiasm and you explain everything so clearly! I’m going to try to only follow the pattern to keep with the mystery, so i haven’t gotten far in the video, but I’m really excited!
So fun! I hope you enjoy it.
This is gonna be fun!!
So unique!
I had to frog back to the end of the Chevrons and go up a size due to my calves being fatter than my foot size. And wanting things to be symmetrical. The striped 3-stitch icord bind off is going to be interesting when I get there again. But I have already learned a couple of new techniques and was pretty pleased with myself until the tube didn’t fit. I get to use the yarn twice! 🤷🏻♀️
It's giving me clowncore and I love it
Hi dtephen, as usual it is popping up, colors and technics. Hopefully tbere is a video. ❤
Brilliant video, thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, it is so phantastic. 🌈💗
I'm glad you like it!
My first pattern from you
How exciting! Welcome to the woolly world of Westknits 🎉
interesting beginning 😉
Hooray for fun
Merci❤❤❤❤❤
Such a great tutorial!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Gracias eres un genio❤
I didn't see in the written pattern that it was to be knit flat. I just assumed you forgot to say "join to knit in the round." Which was silly to think that because your patterns are wonderful. Once I saw the video I saw my mistake. Thank you for providing these great videos. I did the SAL last year and love my socks. They are a perfect fit!
Only one word....CRAZY😂
I had so much fun designing this one!
This is the first time I have joined the sock knit a long and I look forward to starting this evening! Having such a detailed video is excellent, I consider myself to be an experienced beginner but probably wouldn't attempt with the pattern alone, the video makes all the difference! I am also interested in buying the pattern for one of your previous hiberknitalong shawls, the glittering snowflake...is there a tutorial video available for that shawl at all? Again, I don't have the confidence to work just from the pattern.
The Glittering Snowscape Shawl includes some video tutorials linked throughout the pattern for some of the specific techniques, but that shawl doesn't have a tutorial showing every single section. Many of the stitches in that shawl are simple ones with short pattern repeats.
Dear Stephen, what an intriguing way to begin a sock. I love it. Thank you for sharing. Maybe a new way to knit some socks for kids?
I was wondering how this was going to be a sock! Whoa!
My wool hasn’t arrived yet 😩 and I really want to start now! Tempted to raid my stash…
Вы Гений в вязании! Очень аккуратное вязание. Джемпер на Вас, просто класс, влитой. Кто Вас обучал вязанию? Все шедеврально. Впервые вижу цветной айкорд!!!
The tube fits around my ankle, but the selvage stitches are too tight, I’m anxious I’ll break the yarn. I knit both tubes. I’m thinking about frogging and changing the selvage stitches to garter.
Wondering if the 3 welts go in the back, on the side? Anyway, I did clue 1! Not sure if this is a sock I will wear though.....
❤
Thank you, knew knitter. I have made one half of a pair
I have had to find a new way to do the welt because I am left handed so I’m working in the opposite direction..but I have done it. Spare a thought for us lefties!
Hi Stephen, very interesting start. When I knit socks I normally knit them on a 2.5mm - 9" circular needle I cast on 72 stitches for the cuff and then I decrease 4 stitches to 68 and I then knit the leg. What Size should I follow for the leg of this pattern? Thanks
Try following Size 2. You could always add a few more pattern repeats in the final section 4 to make it a little bit larger circumference if needed. The Leg tube should fit snug around your ankle/leg.
Question are we repeating section rows 1-10 a total of 3 time and rows 3-6 twice
My pattern support team would be happy to answer your questions! You can reach out to them at support@westknits.com
hey stephen, i want to cast on the socks but i can‘t find, how much stitches i need to cast on for the sizes. I already buy the sskal 24 😊
You need to cast on 50sts
@@68morgaine for all sizes?
@@68morgaine 50 for all sizes?🙈
50 sts. The instructions are in the Clue 1 PDF when you get the pattern on Ravelry or westknits.com for Color Popportunity Socks. If you previously bought that pattern then the update should be in your email inbox or ravelry inbox.
Hi Stephen when I do the first pattern row on row 3 I only end up knit two together three times instead of four times so I added two more stiches. I hope to hear from you tomorrow. Kathy 15:29
Hi Kathy! It's totally fine to sneak in stitches like you did. If you want help with that section, you can reach out to my pattern support team at support@westknits.com and they will be happy to help.
Hi Stephen, thanks so much for this tutorial. If we cast on using a crochet hook, do we still need to slip the last stitch of the next row? That leaves me with 49 stitches of main colour and 1 stitch of contrast colour. Thanks!
You need 50 total MC sts for Section 1 of the Sock.
@@StephenWest Thank you - so should I knit the last stitch rather than slipping it? Or is there a neater way of doing it? :)
@@Carly_C_Crochets: I just slipped mine and then knitted it the next row. (I also did a crochet cast on.)
I am wondering, though, if I should have snuck in an extra row, a sort of row 0 (WS) that is worked the same way as row 2. The MC part of the long tail cast on is, I think, the live stitches that are used at the end when the work is joined together and we crochet cast on people don't get to the MC until row 1.
Dpns please!
What brand are your dpns? Thank you
they look like they are knitpro zing needles
My dpns are Knitpro Zing.
Ok ok ok what is the case you have at the beginning??
It's my Project 14 Needle Case from Re:Designed! They are available at Stephen & Penelope.
Sorry to ask, how many stitches should I have at the end of row 4? Thanks
Hi there! Please send a message to our pattern support team at support@westknits.com. They will be happy to help you with your question.
Thank you ! I figured it out !
Bonjour j'ai compris le début mais apres rang 4 je dois repeter quel rang pour faire repetition merci
Thank you for commenting! You can send an email to our pattern support team at support@westknits.com. They'd be happy to help you out with your question.
I have had to find a different way of doing the welt because I am left handed and so work in the opposite direction. Spare a thought for us lefties! sometimes it can cause us a few problems
I'm so sorry, since I'm not left handed there's not much guidance I can provide! I'm sure your finished socks will look great
Where is the pattern, I’m late to this party????
You can download the pattern here... www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ssal-2024-color-popportunity-socks
So I thought I'd wait for a clue or two, see where this is going. Put on the video, " we're knitting the first clue flat.". ....wait.... WHAAAT????, . Hold please( sound of woman running , frantically grabbing needles and yarn, like it wasn't ready to go already 😂). 24 hours later I'm starting sock #2. I know you know, but this is SO COOL!!! I Thank you for the FUN you bring to the knitting party.😊
Yay! I'm so happy you joined us for Clue 1, I had so much fun designing this pattern.
Row 3 in the written pattern starts with k1 k2tog 4times, in the video it starts with k2tog 8 times.....
No it doesn't - see timestamp 12.15 for row beginning. Good luck
@@pathwalker1762You're right, my bad! I must have skipped to 13:40 and thought that was the start of the row 🫣
I might even try socks.... so far no desire. 😉🤣
Can you just tuck the ends inside the welt instead of trimming??
I'm now envisioning a scarf/shawl/wrap with the same stitch pattern!!
🤣😂🤣
I also wondered about tucking the ends into the welt, lol 😂
Besoin d'aide en français svp.
Rangs 5 à 10 je ne comprends pas. Merci
I'm sorry we don't speak French, but you can try reaching out to our pattern support team at support@westknits.com.
Hi Stephen I would like help Kathy
Hi Kathy! You can reach out to my pattern support team at support@westknits.com with your questions, they will be happy to help
Wie immer- fabelhaft! Schade nur, dass die Anleitung nicht in deutscher Sprache verfügbar ist!
I hope the tutorial helps!
Anyone else a bit disappointed with the main colour yarn in the Nature surprise set? Or is it just me :(
I discover knitting new since I entered paradise in Amsterdam last week: Stephen&Penelope. And now I start my first project with the Surprise Sock Along 2024. Very exciting for me, as I have to translate many things into German but not every single word ;-) @Westknits the best for knitters. Thank you, Stephen, for your wonderful videos. I am learning a lot. It is pure fun.
Wow! This is going to be a fun first project. Feel free to message our pattern support team at support@westknits.com if you have any questions. Enjoy!
I am always so shocked by what you come up with. Your mind is simply amazing. For all your mystery knits I think “surely he’s run out of ideas!” and then you drop this on us 🤣🩶
Thank you so much! I hope you're having fun with the project
