I haven't stopped watching you with the sock creations, and other videos! You've completely de-mystified the whole process of making socks (this and other videos), heel and toe shaping and I'm looking out for a LK 150 now after having my Bond machine of years which seems very very basic compared. Not looking for a massive machine set up - but one I can put away when I don't need to be around and this machine looks to fit the bill. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to get machining again!
@@AnnaHaferman I have never been to one but you take a pair of (Christmas) socks, fill will lots of little inexpensive gifts, rubber band the tops together, hang on a clothes line after putting a number on it then all the guests draw numbers and get that gift. When the person opens her socks she gets to keep them or choose some previously opened socks. That is my understanding of the game…!
Wow! I can’t wait to make this! Looks like fun. I appreciate your time and efforts. I am picturing all different types of Christmas yarn used for this❤️😃
Bonjour du côté de Perpignan (France)... Merci pour cet excellent tuto, j'ai terminé ma 2ème chaussette sans problèmes... Bons préparatifs de Noël à vous...
Thank you again nice job.....I am going to make a few of these hopefully I can keep a couple. My grandkids took all of my pumpkins that I made from your last tutorial.... lol they didn't leave any for me.
@@craftycaz Your tutorials have a lot more than the standard tubular stockinette. I was hoping there was some versatility to this machine and you proved there is.
Thank you. As usual, this is a wonderful tutorial. I've been looking for one that shows how to do Fair Isle, maybe you could put that on your list of things to do some day....?
@@peggyjohnson3240 Are you looking for a stocking with Fair Isle, or just Fair Isle in general, because I have a video on Fair Isle with the LK 150. I am using the Needle Beetle with it, but you could hand select the pattern also.
@@AnnaHaferman I've been searching all over TH-cam and elsewhere for a video on how to do machine knit Fair Isle Christmas stockings. I know (somewhat) how to do Fair Isle in general and can probably figure out how to do the top and leg part, but I need a visual on how and where to stop and resume a pattern such as the "tiny fleas" at the heel and toe. Hope that makes sense.
Anna, I really love this pattern. I have made several and did regular grafting. This time I wanted to do your inside grafts. I am perplexed by grafting from inside though. It looked like it was going to work when I was doing it but it ended up with a "standing ridge" seam. I am missing something from your instructions but I just cannot figure it out what I am doing wrong. I would send a photo of my results if I knew how...
Hi, if you just follow the stitches of the waste yarn, sewing in and out exactly where the waste yarn stitch is, it will work. I suggest making a few swatches to practice with. I will try to make a video showing this in detail after the holidays.
Anna, I noticed the short rowing for heels and toe on the right side, and one video you did by short rowing each side of 0 on a slipper. My question is what is the difference between the two techniques on the finished sock or slipper? I have not done slippers or socks before, I've knitted garments for YEARS! Decided to try the slipper. Thank you for your videos, it's getting me back in the game again....:)
The slipper is knit in such a way that there will be a seam on each side. I think that I wrapped the needles when short rowing in that one but in the stocking I did an automatic wrap. The slipper video was for a class I taught to beginners and was designed to teach certain techniques without making it too complicated. The stocking is actually easier to do, but I think it would be confusing for new machine knitters.
Sorry, I can't remember but I think it was pretty loose in order to get the yarn to run through smoothly. Experiment with your machine and see what works best. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Anna for the lovely Christmas stocking, I have done dozens of fair isle on the standard machine but it's out of service right now and I have seven to make this year! Your stocking is a life savor for me! I'm doing mine on the 155, so far I'm liking it. I have to keep pausing the video but once I get it it will be great! Thanks again for your great tutorials, videos and being so generous with your time. Keep up the fantastic work, without the woman like you I don't know where we would be!

Desculpe, não falo espanhol, então traduzi isto: o Needle Beetle não funciona no SK 155, mas tem um dispositivo de cartão perfurado que faz a mesma coisa.

Thanks for your kind words! I love making socks on the machine. You will love the LK 150!
This is so wonderful and perfect timing when I saw it since I was just invited to a sock swap Christmas party in a couple of weeks!
I have never heard of a sock swap but it sounds fun!

Gonna be so excited to do this tonight when I get home from work! Thank you so much for your videos!
Thanks for watching! Are you going to use the Dollar Tree yarn or something else?
Great video...I love the way you take time to explain things in detail!
Thanks ♥️
Thanks; I appreciate your kind words!
I just finished making this! So happy how this turned out
I'm so glad that it turned out well!
Thank you so much for this clear, nice, efficient tutorial! My machine should arrive tomorrow 😎
Thank you! Which machine did you get?
Excellent video! I finally understand short rowing! Now I can make socks too!! Thanks so much
That’s great! It took me a while to get what was going on with short rowing, too.
Så fine videoer du viser, jeg lærer så mye av dem👍🌹🇳🇴
Thank you so much!

Thanks, Nadine! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for such a detailed video. I really feel like I can finally knit a Christmas stocking.
You absolutely can do it! If you have any trouble, let me know.
I love this. Your explanations are do clear❤
Thanks so much!

C'est formidable! Merci et Joyeux Noel à vous aussi!

Thanks so much; that's nice of you to say!
Thank you again nice job.....I am going to make a few of these hopefully I can keep a couple. My grandkids took all of my pumpkins that I made from your last tutorial.... lol they didn't leave any for me.
There's still time before Halloween or Thanksgiving to make a couple more pumpkins!
Thank you, this was so helpful
Anna is amazing
You are the best! Thanks!
Great instructional video. Thankyou!
Thank you for watching!
Hafe! Another excellent tutorial!
Thanks! Laughing because I have a friend who calls me Hafe.
I learned so much thank you.
I just got a Sentro and looked up tutorials and found one of yours!
@@AnnaHaferman Mutual sharing of knowledge yey :)

I was actually thinking of doing that!
That would be absolutely fabulous. I hope sometime in the near future....I'll be eagerly watching for it. Thanks.

I’m not sure what you mean by tiny fleas. Are you looking for something done with a punchcard or hand selected?
I don’t know how to graft it. I looked through your other videos and can’t find it.
Hi, I showed it in the mitten video: th-cam.com/video/jwPJJno0jbs/w-d-xo.html and also a little bit at the end of the chimney stocking video.

Good morning Thank you for the demonstration really appreciate u showing us how to this stocking. What is your top tension set at? Thank you again.

@@AnnaHaferman Your Welcome
Perfect! What size is this stocking ?
It's about 21 inches long by 5.5 inches wide. Thanks for watching!
Hi how many rows after picot have is there in total before I start the short row decreases?

I am not sure, but after hanging the hem, I think it was 64. I said it in the video at some point.
A question-where did you get that ten-tooth claw weight? Thanks.
It came with my bulky machine. I am trying to find a link.

@@AnnaHaferman obrigada e como seria esse cartão ja fizeste vidio com esse cartão para eu ver como é
This is a striped pattern so you wouldn't need a punch card. Just change colors.
Muito bom.
