    I'm a crocheter and wanted to start knitting for so long but past attempts failed. I recently mended my grandma's socks and felt I wanna try again. So here I am at 2am, on my second round of my first ever knit project and sock. I feel so close to my grandma. 🧡

    This is the best video. I have to say you can’t stress this tip enough about making sure the working yarn in thrown up and over your work when beginning each row. I don’t knit like you. I hold the yarn in my right hand and if that yarn ever gets inside that infinity loop it gets so messed up! Very important tip which I don’t think is stressed enough🤪😂Another important thing with magic loop is the set up or the framework..to realize the needles ALWAYS point to right and the working yarn always in the back, also you always pull the back yarn to knit the front needle. I know you know this but I hope this comment helps someone else like me. 😘

I hadn’t picked up knitting needles for a few years. The person who invented this magic loop method is a genius! Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to tackle this new territory in my knitting world. 💞

I’ve watched your video twice and have decided that i am definitely going to purchase the needles for sock via the magic loop - it looks way easier than 4 needles. Thanks for this video and showing this old-timer the modern easy sock knitting. Sock knitting is my passion 🌻

    Excellent tutorial for us beginning sock knitters! I've taken multiple Craftsy classes, bought books, and watched many TH-cams on knitting socks. There was some concept surrounding the heel that I had real difficulty grasping. (Plus. I'm a newer knitter but I knew I could conquer socks, once I grasped that concept!). However, this was the cleanest, clearest set of instructions I've ever seen regarding knitting socks on Magic Loop! Thank you so very much! Now, I can knit them. Highly recommend to new sock knitters!

    I bought my sock yarn and started the leg of my first sock three years ago. Knitted the second leg and then put it away for two years because I was afraid to attempt the heel. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial I finally finished my first pair and they fit beautifully! Thank you. Can’t wait to make more!

I purchased the yarn and needles to make socks almost 4 years ago, but was so nervous about learning Magic Loop, heel flaps, etc. I kept taking them out and looking at videos and putting them back in my knitting basket. I finally taught myself Magic Loop last fall and now knitting my first sock with this wonderful video. Half way through the heel turn. 🤞🙏

Your video was perfect! I started the socks at the beginning of December and finished the pair on Christmas Eve! I couldn’t believe I finished them in time. She was thrilled that I made socks for her and to use her words “And they match!” Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’m now working on a pair for me.

    Wow! You have a new fan here! I’ve watched this TH-cam in parts many times and it is so helpful. I started my first sock with a pattern from another creator, and I just couldn’t make any sense out of it. To anyone looking for a great pattern that’s super clear get the Crazy Sock Lady’s pattern on Ravelry . It is so well written. I am new to sock knitting and knitting in general. Your pattern gives helpful queues all the way through to help produce a clean, professional looking sock. Thank you!

    That awkward moment when you try on your sock and realize your calf is a little too big for the cuff and now you have to frog the whole thing 🥲

    I’ve had so much fun knitting my first sock I stayed up until 2 am knitting- after I started the heel flap I couldn’t stop until I’d finished the gusset decreases

    Thank for this tutorial! I'm typically a toe up with an after thought or short row heel, but I wanted to see if this heel fit me better. It was so easy following along with you! I may even switch to cuff down from now on 🤣

    Hi I’m on my third pair of socks, the first two pairs I knitted using your other video with the 9” needles. Magic loop is less tedious and stressful on my hands. Thank you for clear instructions and also for the time stamps on the pattern.

    So far I only have one knitting project to my credit: one pair of mittens. So I decided to follow your tutorial to knit a shortie sock (as practice) to familiarize myself with the heel construction and it turned out perfect. Now I'll be able to follow a similar sock pattern without getting confused. Thank you for your help! 😀

      What helped my crochet brain is hundreds and hundreds of swatches. Just to practice on the basic stitches, which is all you need to make these socks. Lots of wash cloths, lol.
