As always, enjoying this simple tutorial. I'm finishing a pair of socks and this time, I wasn't going to block them but you convince me to do so! Thank you Suzanne!
Very cool. Happy knitting.
I was thinking of shelling out for some sock blockers but now that I've seen this video you've saved me $16+
Great.
Thanks, i wondered whether i needed a sock blocker.
I love those socks.
Any time!
Wow those socks are a piece of art! You’re so talented! I wish I was even half as talented with knitting as you. Awesome awesome awesome 👏🏼
You can do it!
Wow Suzanne you make it so simple, thank you! Absolutely gorgeous socks. You are so extremely talented, your stitch work is one of the best I have seen. Out of the hundreds I have viewed here on TH-cam, I have seen two that stand out as impeccable stitchwork. YOU I say are the first, the other gal who is professional runs a close second ;) Thank you again! I have used mostly acrylic, but now just starting sock knitting and using wool fiber and love it, a treasure to knit and easier on my hands. Will be blocking this way! 🤗💗🤗🧦🧦🧦

Wonderful tutorial and BEAUTIFUL socks! I'm in the middle of my first ever sock (let alone its mate) and so blocking is a long way off, but this has definitely given me the drive to wait the extra 24+ hours after I finish to block them properly. Thank you.

Your knitting tutorials have earned you the #1 spot on my top 3 list. I love checking in with uTube and finding a new video from you.
Seeing your technique for the purl caston and purl row separating the cuff and leg prompted me to ask if you have a solution in your bag of tricks to solve the jog at the end of each round of purls? I’ve never been able to conquer the problem, hard as I tried. Carla Jewett
Actually I do and it is on my todo list for future videos. Thank you. Be sure to subscribe.
Wow took me a minute to see you reversed the dark & Light sts on each sock. Beautiful👍
Glad you liked it, Aurora, thank you! ❤️
I thought I knew how to block socks but I decided to watch a video of yours. It was so informative. I'm very glad that I took these few worthwhile moments!
Yep, so easy, isn't it? You don't need anything fancy. Happy knitting.
Thank you for this. Your socks are beautiful and O love that you revered the colours. Great tutorial on how and why you block
Oh, Suzanne! Your stitches are immaculate in the before and after blocking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about blocking, but your stranded stitching is perfection. 😍
Thank you Kim Karr! Happy knitting.
Many thanks from Italy, dear Suzanne !!!
Thank you Aura Montanari! Happy knitting.
Always perfectly helpful in the simplest way! Thank you so much Suzanne =)
You are so welcome, Ianosaur! Thank you very much for watching and for the great comments. ❤️
Blocked my first socks this week, using this video as a guide--did five pairs yesterday--They look SO much better! Thank you for making it.
It is an amazing difference, isn't it?
@@SuzanneBryan It is! I will never not block another pair of socks again.
😀
Love your video tuitions. You are my go to person. Thank you.
Wow, thank you, Pat, I love being the "go to" person! ❤️
Thank you
I'm so thankful I found your demonstration. I just finished my first sock. I love the yarn in your demonstration. Can you tell me the name of the yarn and where I can purchase it? Your sock is beautiful!
These are beautiful socks. I haven't seen the pattern, & don't know where it is. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be regular shaping around the ankle & foot, because the pattern must be maintained. So, I wondered how well this sock fits. Thank you. :)
The sock fits very well. This particular sock is not a stand alone pattern yet, but is in the works. I also give instructions for creating different sizes.
@@SuzanneBryan Ok, thank you. When/where will it be posted, please. :)
I will post in Ravelry. you can find my tutorial / pattern library at = www.ravelry.com/designers/suzanne-bryan
@@SuzanneBryan Thank you. Much appreciated.💙
Thank you : )
Thank you Suzanne. 💙
Thank you Francine Frechette! Happy knitting.
Thank you so much. Now I know I dont need any expensive equipment. X
Exactly. Happy sock knitting.
Should you block it every time you wash them? How do you clean used hand knitted socks? Can you chuck them in the washing machine or hand wash and block every time?
Great questions. First, you do not need to wash them every time you wear them, if they are knit with wool. Wool does not absorb foot odor. In fact, most people find that their foot odor goes away when they wear wool socks. I wash mine after several wearings. Then, when I do wash them, I chuck them all in my kitchen sink with room temperature water, a very small amount of liquid dish soap, and let them soak overnight. No agitation. Then in the morning, I drain the water, rinse once, no agitation, then squeeze out the excess water, roll in a towel to absorb as much water as possible, they lay out flat to dry.
@@SuzanneBryan Laughing here. You two used the word "chuck". It makes me think of carelessly tossing something, which, of course, is the opposite of how Suzanne launders her hand-knits ! Reading this, I can see how I've probably been felting mine by placing them (not chucking them) in a laundry wash bag as if to "protect" them, and yet laundering them in a regular cycle. Eek! No wonder they look so pitiful and misshapen. I'll be changing my laundering routine for sure!
I love that sock. Please say what pattern it is. Thank you 🙏
This is a supplemental chart that I give for my sock Starry Starry Night on Ravelry. ravel.me/starry-starry-night-socks
You are so good 😊
Thank you, Joanne! 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have to “block” the socks every time they are hand washed then?
Yes, but really it is nothing more than laying them out flat to dry. It is easy. They will look so much nicer if you do.
It looks like the blocked sock is now smaller than the unblocked one. Is that going to cause a problem. If I'm going to block, should I make my sock larger to take care of that shrinkage?
Hi Linda! This is an optical illusion due to the color reversal of the yarn, both socks are the same size.
Hi 🙋♀️ do you have a tutorial for this sock?
Yes I do. It is the alternate pattern for my Starry Starry Night socks. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/starry-starry-night-socks
Do we need to block after everytime we wash them
Hi Carolyn. You don't need to block using pins, you just need to lay them flat on a towel or something until they're dry. Thanks so much for watching my videos!
those socks don't match but pattern is great would like to make them
The are not intended to match. I love making opposites.
Hi Suzanne - can you block acrylic yarn? Thanks
Yes, it does not respond the same as natural fibers, but yes you can block it.
Can you tell me the name of that pattern?
Stay tuned, it will be available soon. See my Ravelry designer page - Suzanne Bryan
@@SuzanneBryan Great, thank you. :) I just now found & subscribed to your blog: www.knittingsuzanne.com/ Wow! Great learning projects.
