NO FEAR SOCK KNITTING CLASS ONLINE
Class 11: Contrast Shadow Wrap Heel without Cutting Main Yarn
In Today's class we will be learning how to knit the shadow wrap short row heel in a contrasting color without cutting the main yarn. I will also cover how to weave in ends as you knit. This heel is knit with a series of twin and triple stitches to "build" each side of the short row heel. It is very easy to follow, there is very little counting and and it creates a perfectly symmetrical heel that has a deep and comfortable fit.

Denise, I finally got how you hide the yarn tails. I have tried and tried, but this video did that for me, plus I also learned how to add a contrasting yarn for the heel without cutting the working yarn. How awesome is that!!! You are so dear and such a sweetheart!! I love your lessons and I will continue watching and knitting and learning from you. You have such a pleasant voice - you are THE BEST!!!!!
Thank you so much Linda!!!
You are such a good teacher!
Thank you so much! 😃
I love everything about your tutorials. Your intro music is happy, your face is beautiful and your smile makes me smile.
This tutorial specifically is fantastic. I’m working on a pair of socks with contrasting heels and toes. This video has helped so much. I had a confusing moment when I reached the end of the first heel. You explained so perfectly how I needed to work that particular area. The matching sock will be much better thanks to you.
Keep the tutorials coming!
Thank you so much!
Hello Denise! I am a complete beginner knitter and have recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love it! One day when I was feeling down, I was watching one of your videos, and your gentle voice and laughter/giggles really lifted my spirits. Thank you for all that you do. You are such an encouragement to many. Blessings!
Hi Sandra, thank you so much for your very lovely, encouraging and supportive words. You know idea how much that means to me!
This is awesome! Thank you for these videos. I also LOVE your scrappy socks!! So grateful for you! ❤️
Thank you Denise for another wonderful tutorial, you are appreciated. Blessings friends, have a good week.
AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Look at that beautiful face. Just the help I needed to remind me how to do Shadow Wrap. I couldn't pull it up in my rust memory banks! Thank you, darling Denise!
Ooooh! I just came across this video and I went back and watched classes 9 & 10. Thank you so much, I love this heel and will incorporate it into the socks I currently have on my needles. Now I also need to go back and watch more of your videos!
Just did this last week and it came out perfectly!
You are stunningly awesome!! My sock making has now taken a turn for the awesomeness that I’ve been hoping for!
God bless you!!
This is a super useful video. Thank you so much for the time and energy you put in to showing us how to do these amazing knitting techniques 🤩
Wonderful video!! Love watching you tutorials. Now, off to try this on some hats when changing colors.
Thank you very much Denise 👏
definitely want to try this, thanks Denise
You make it all look so easy-peasy. Going to try this next time!!
This is so great. Thank you🤓
Thanks again for a great tutorial! Now I am going to try it out!
Thanks so much ,Denise! ♡♡♡♡
So smart. I wondered how to do a contrasting heel with nice crisp corners. Thank you!
Denise, you are the absolutely best knitting teacher ever!!! I watch your videos over and over. I do have one request...would you do a wrap and turn heel for us to see. I love shadow wrap but would also like to learn the short row wrap and turn heel. If you do not want to do that, fine, but would you recommend one for us to watch. Most are too fast.
I’m so grateful for your videos! I started my first ever sock, just finished watching your shadow wrap heel video, and see this video. Thank you for all your time in putting these videos together! 💖
You are so welcome Jenn!! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!
PURE MAGIC!! Thank you Denise. These videos are incredible!
You are so welcome Nicole!!!
Thank you. I absolutely love how clear and easy to follow your tutorials are.
You are so welcome Sharon!
Denise you are such a wonderful teacher! Thank you for the tutorial!
Aww, thank you Heather!!!
Thank you so very much.
Great tutorial. Thanks - can’t wait to try it. 💗
You’re welcome 😊
thank u so much! i’m off to find the whole heel tutorial, i always use a flap and gusset because i’m just awful and short rows and afterthought heels usually end up looking too strange (to me) i love how your showing real time knitting and explaining the how and the why of what’s going on. So happy to find you!
Thank you for your wonderful videos Denise! You are an amazing teacher 🥰
Thank you so much Sabrina!!
Your videos are always so clear and easy to follow! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you like them!
Brilliant! You are a masterful teacher. Thank you so so much!
You are so welcome Laura!!! Thank YOU!!
That was demonstrated beautifully! Completely closed...clearly! I couldn't catch it before. Thanks so very much for Sharing Denise 💖🌻!!
I"m so glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic class! Thank you so much. I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you so much!! Enjoy!!
Thank you so much, Denise. . You are a FANTASTIC teacher 😊
Thank you so much!!
Slick! I love the weaving trick. Thank you very much!
You are very welcome!!
You are a wonderful teacher. I appreciate the pace you go because you take your time to teach.
You are so welcome Sandy!!! Thank YOU!
Just discovered your videos today! You have a real gift. Thank you.
Aww, thank you so much.
I just wanted to thank you Denise. Based on this video and the detailed shadow wrap heel video, I decided to implement this heel on a second sock of a pair. And to make it harder, I needed a contrast heel to match the first sock ( which was done toe-up with an afterthought heel). So I went for it: cuff-down, contrasting shadow wrap heel AND without cutting the main yarn! Your videos are so good, I was able to do it in one go and it looks wonderful! Only 2 negatives and both down to my choices: 1) the two socks have a pretty different tension which is due to one being toe up and the other cuff down (and done a year apart 😂) so I learned a fact about my own knitting tension. And 2) I wasn’t able to bury the contrast heel ends as I knitted. This is because I didn’t take the time to watch the appropriate video on this and the heel end kept wrapping up onto the right needle, so I ended up just leaving them loose and will weave them in later. Wish I could show a picture as I am very proud of this sock. Thanks again. I think this will be my new sock baseline technique.
OOOHH! will use this on my next socks for sure. Thank you so much again for great instructions in real time!
You are so welcome Jeanine!
Thank you for this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for a great video. I knit my socks on dpns and will see if this method will work using your instructions. 🇬🇧
Love your videos! Just discovered your you tube channel and I see I will be quite busy watching the rest of them.

PERFECTION is not enough THANK YOU 💞💕
Thank you so much!!!
I love “weaving in as you go!”
How lovely to stumble across your podcast. I just love knitting socks. I finished one and cast on another while watching you : ) Thanks for the tips
Welcome to my little corner of the web!! So happy you're here!!
Just found your channel. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
Welcome to my channel. I'm so glad you're here!!
I am a little late to this party but I’m glad I finally showed up. This heel is fabulous and you did an awesome job teaching it. I watched all the videos on the Shadow Wrap Heel and I appreciate all your tips and tricks. I just finished my first SW heel and it is beautiful and fits so well. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the clearest tutorial of the shadow wrap contrast heel! I’m knitting my first shorties ever and am using the shadow wrap heel for the first time. Love your podcast too.
Thank you very much!
Your way of teaching is excellent and I’m really grateful for your channel. I’m just about to start your sock classes.
Thank you so much Alison!!! I'm so glad you enjoy it!
shadow wrap is my new go-to. it is an amazing heel. thank you for your clear and concise tutorial. I am currently working on your one more step sock
I’m so glad you like the heel Rose and thank you so much for purchasing my pattern. It means the world to me!!
Thank you so much for the lessons on the shadow wrap heel. It got my socks mojo back on track. I am currently knitting my fifth pair of socks so for for 2022. I plan on making 2 pairs per month this year.
That's fantastic. I'm going to try the same thing!
I love knitting this heel and especially not having to cut the main color. Thank you so much for sharing this technique.
You are so welcome Maria!
Thankyou so much, AMAZING 😊
You're welcome 😊
Thank you very much love your video very helpful 🐧🐧🐧
I found you on you tube en I love your way of teaching. The next heel I wil use The Shadow Wrap Heel and later with my next sock I will use the way I saw on this video. I dont speak English but I can easely follow you .Thank You
You are so welcome!! I'm so happy you're here!!!
Thank you! That cleared up some issues I was having. 😀
You're welcome! I'm so happy to hear that!!
I just discovered your TH-cam channel thanks to the Tricolibri podcast and I love what you do. I'm not super good in English but your videos are so well done and filmed to perfection and your voice very pleasant and luckily there is Google translation for me. Thank you for the video of the shadow wrap heel, a new heel to try for my next stockings, currently I use the Fish lips kiss heel which I like a lot too. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. 🥰🧦🧶
Thank you so much Françoise!!!
I LOVE your tutorials! Thank you SO very much! Your voice is soothing and easy to listen to! I would LOVE a tutorial on a "Shadow Wrap Short Row Toe".
Hi Cheryl, thank you for your emails and your message here. So glad you enjoyed this tutorial!! I added a mini tutorial for a shadow wrap short row toe on Instagram. A full tutorial is coming soon. I do not have a date yet!
Love your tutorials classes. I find this heel doesn't work for many friends. So heel flap is the one I use. For kids I will try this. Thank you.❤
Thanks Yvonne. That’s why I love Knitting so much… having lots of options to accomplish the same task.
Thank you for the video! As always, I love how detailed they are. I followed your tutorial on shadow wrap heel with contrasting colours and have finally managed to get a sock without holes. Yaaay! :) Learning to weave in ends as I knit was also super helpful. Presumably I can cut off the tails after the six stitches? I wasn't sure if they needed further weaving in. Should you get the chance, I would love to see a tutorial on a toe up sock :) Much love, Appu xx 💖💖💖
Yes once you have woven in the tails you cut off the excess, leaving about a quarter of an inch behind.
Your hands and your knitting are so graceful. 💕
Aww, thank you Nancy!!
Thank you so much! I'll be trying this tomorrow as I've just gotten to the point where it's time for the heel 😄
AWESOME!!! Let me know what you think!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Turned out beautifully! I wish I had learned this heel sooner. The moment I made a mistake (inevitable when using black yarn...) I was able to tink back and fix it easily. That experience solidified my never going back to a GSR heel. Thank you so much🙏🏽
@@swordNshield YAY! You are so very welcome. I'm so happy to hear that it turned out so well!!
Hello from Mounds Illinois.
Thank you Denise, I love your videos!
Can the shadow wrap heel be implemented as an afterthought heel?
You are very welcome and Yes it can!!!! Stay turned for a tutorial!! Coming soon!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ll be trying this out for sure. I’m curious as to what yarns you’re using too. Thank you.
You’re very welcome! I’m using Opal yarn mini skeins.
I love knitting socks and am looking forward to written instructions for the shadow wrap heel. Your tutorials are great, but I could use a book, pamphlet...to cement the process in my mind.
Hi Lee,
the written instructions for the shadow wrap heel can be find in my Soxploration Shadow Wrap Heel pattern, which is available on my website as well as Ravelry. There are links to both sites in the description box under the video.
Wow this is interesting. First never did a short row heel and going to try this . Going to do Crazy Sox Lady Summer Sock Along this year 2022
And this is one I will attempt. Thank you.
Have fun Yvonne!! And thank you so much for watching!
Thanks again for a wonderfully clear tutorial. I've learned so much from you!
Bought my first knitting book - Saltwater Classics - based on traditional items from Newfoundland, Canada. For socks, tradition is to darn inside the heels, toes etc to form a second layer and increase strength. Love it but I don't know how to darn! Possible video?
Hi Valerie,
Thanks so much for watching my tutorials. I"m so happy they've been so helpful.
It is a great idea to darn your socks right from the start. There are so many daring tutorials right here on TH-cam that you may find helpful. Truth be told I've never darned a sock.
I prefer to use slipped stitches to reinforce the "weaker" areas of a sock.
I love you tutorials and all videos! I adore your wall calendar in this video 😍 Where is it from?
Thank you so much!! And thank you again, I really love the art in the calendar. Here's a link to her etsy shop!

I did the shadow wrap heel on a Christmas stoking, it turned out beautiful, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also would like to know what brand of knitting needles you use.
You're welcome!
I use Addi Rockets and Hiya Hiya Sharps.
Question…I have watched both of these tutorials about the shadow wrap heel WITH breaking the yarn and without breaking the yarn, both with contrasting color heels. Why would you ever break the yarn if you don’t have to? If you have self striping yarn, is it better to NOT break the Yarn or to break it? Your tutorials are PHENOMENAL by the way! Thank you! 🙏
Ultimately It is really knitters choice. There is no right or wrong way. In my experience, I choose to break my the main because it make much cleaner corners and reduces the chance of forming a hole.
Hi Denise, please could you let me know which video to watch to see the tutorial on knitting in the ends as mentioned in this video. Many thanks.
Hi Lynne,
As I said, in the tutorial, the other video is linked in the description box. I tried to make it as easy for everyone as possible.
Denise…..thank you for another wonderful tutorial. Your videos are always so helpful and easy to follow. What type of needles do you use when using 2 sets of circulars? Thank you, again.
You’re so welcome Cathleen.
I use Hiya Hiya sharps and Addi Rockets, depending on the yarn/fiber content.
Thank you, Denise!
Great video! Thank you. Are you creating your own colour pattern for this sock or using a self striping or self patterning yarn? and where can we find this?
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it. The yarn is Opal sock yarn which is self patterning. And can be purchased from various sites online.
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thank you!
I have not worked up the courage yet to knit a sock but your tutorial is definitely motivating me.
Also, what needles are you using? I love the tips!
Thanks Rachel! Sock knitting will be there when you're ready!!
The needles are Hiya Hiya Sharps.
I really enjoy your videos - you’re so relaxed and make it all seem so easy! However, I can no longer find you on Instagram.
Hi Kevin, I’m not sure why you can’t see me on Instagram. I haven’t changed my account or anything. What is your user name on Instagram?
thank you for your videos! I knit socks on 9" circulars, and usually use a heel that I think you have referred to as copyrighted. I'm trying to figure out why you use two sets of needles rather than one magic loop. Does this help get rid of the hole where the heel starts? I am going to try the Shadow Wrap heel on my next set of socks on 9" circular, hoping to eleminate the hole. Even with the copyrighted heel, I often get a small hole that drives me crazy, I often go in with a small crochet hook and tighten the stitches up. Am I possibly not tugging tightly enough. Thank you again your videos are awesome
Your very welcome Nancy! To answer your question, I don't like the magic loop method and simply prefer to knit on 2 circulars. I learned from Cath Bordhi long before magic loop "showed up". And I love it. Regarding holes, as you said you may not being pulling tight enough at the "intersection".
What needles are those? They have such a nice pointy tip!
I use Hiya Hiya Sharps and Addi Turbos
You have lovely hands to watch. I have seen some dried out, gnarly hands and nails that really need a clean up or a mani. Yours are very nice.
Thank you.
Side note: Alot of my knowledge came from gnarly hands that weren't manicured.
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast me too! That is what makes me appreciate your
lovely hands all the more. Right up there with Very Pink
Hi Denise, I'm very new to knitting socks, I was wondering what needles you are using in this tutorial? I only have 2 9" circulars but I'm interested in the ones you're using.
Hi there, welcome to the wonderful world of sock knitting! I am using Addi Rockets (2.25mm) in this tutorial.
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast thank you 🙂
See now I need to try knitting with two circular needles.... how long should they be just out of curiosity?
Hi Alejandra,
You can stick with magic loop. Don't feel like you have to try this but if you'd like to add to your sock knitting bag of tricks then go for it!!
I prefer 24" circular needles. 16" feels a bit too short and 32 is to long (for me).
Is there a way to eliminate the color change blip on the one side of the heel?
Yes and no. You can duplicate stitch over it when knitting it in a constrast color pull the ends a bit tighter. I find that gets rid of the blip. Truth be told though the finer the yarn the harder it is to hide.
Can I use this heel in a toe up patten?
Hi Deb,
Yes you can! Just follow the instructions as written.
How would I apply this for DPN's?
All of the heel stitches would be on one dpn and the instep stitches would be on the other (2) needles. You would then knit the heel as instructed.
What if you use DPNs?
Hi Nanette,
The method that you were using to knit your socks does not matter. This can very easily be applied to DPNs. You are just distributing your stitches over the number of needles you are using.
🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸
Hello, how many number skewers do you use?
Hi Fatima,
I’m not sure what you mean by that question. What are numbers skewers?
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Is it possible to set the video to türkçe translation?
Hi. What is your favourite ever sock heel? You mentioned once you didn’t want to do a tutorial on it out of respect for the creator, Can you tell me who or what it is called so I can look it up, please?
It is definitely on my top five but I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite. It’s the Fish Lips Kiss Heel.
What happens when you get to the 11 double stitches done and the ten in the middle
Then you knit the other half of the heel which is made by eliminating the twin stitches and creating triple stitches. All instructions can be found in my Shadow Wrap Heel tutorial and in my Soxploration Shadow Wrap Heel sock pattern.
