    Hi Suzanne, I just wanted to pop in a quick comment to let you know how very helpful your tutorials are to me. I'm in my mid 60's and my goal for this year was to knit my very first sock. I have made 2 (odd) socks, using them as learning tools/samples until I figure out what is right for me and which method and result I enjoy more. Your easy to understand tutorials are my absolute go-to for help and learning. I thank you so much for taking the time to do these... even on your 4th of July celebrations! Happy 4th to you and yours. I'm in Australia, so it's just another Sunday here lol... and I'm working on 'just another sock' ... using Addi Crasy Trio for the first time which I'm really liking, but deep down I think I shall continue to be a Magic Loop gal with my ChiaoGoo's lol

  • @joyceohman4789
    @joyceohman4789 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ve found that the extra rows in the middle of the heel ( because you can’t stack the double stitches) makes for a very nice fitting heel compared to other short row methods.

    I've never knit a sock, nor have I ever wanted to. In fact, when this video came up in my email, I thought, although I'm a devoted fan of Suzanne, maybe I should just skip this one. But then I came to my senses and thought it's always good to learn something new. I must say, you've tempted me...even more than the pretty sock yarns that I see when I go to my LYS. I still need to work my way through a bunch of UFOs (that's my promise to myself during lockdown) and then perhaps I'll try a pair. As always, thanks for making it do-able.

    Hi Suzanne! Your awesome videos of GSR heels have finally inspired me to learn how to make socks -- even though I was never really interested in socks (I live in Hawaii and never wear socks🤣). I wanted to try to make a Christmas Stocking. So I've been learning as much as I can. But when I started investigating more, I got very discouraged. I didn't want to pick up ANY stitches, so the heel flap/gusset method was OUT. That's when I found your video, and I knew that I could do a GSR heel.
    I don't like the way most hand-knit toes look at all. They are too pointy and weird-looking, especially for a Christmas Stocking. Then I found out that all the cuff-down toes require Kitchener Stitching to attach the toe to the foot. I didn't want to do the Kitchener Stitch AT ALL -- I wanted to knit it all in one piece. [I learned how to do the Kitchener Stitch from your excellent video, but I did not want to do all that just for a sock] So, the cuff-down method was OUT. Then I investigated toe-up socks, and that seemed more manageable. But I just hated the weird wedge shape - still not good for a Christmas Stocking. I thought: I just want a rounded toe on my sock -- like a store-bought sock! I searched and searched -- then I finally found it -- a ROUND TOE SOCK!!😆 I have no idea why it took so long to find it -- there is not a lot of info out there about a Round Toe. I loved the shaped of it. I learned how to do a Turkish Cast-on to start it. But then, I saw that a lot of the increases used for socks are intricate and beyond my capability. I can do a KFB or a YO increase, but trying to pick up stitches from below is very intimidating to me. I always feel like I'm not picking up the correct stitch. So I researched every increase I could use, and only found ONE that I was sure I could perform perfectly every time: the Right-Lifted Increase!
    I am also dealing with the fact that I can NOT knit with DPN's (and don't want to), so I need a method that would use Magic Loop and/or short circs ONLY.
    So I am now designing my own pattern to make it easy for a first time sock-knitter like me, to be able to complete a sock or Stocking. I'm using:
    1) TOE-UP, using Turkish Cast-on.
    2) ROUND TOE, using RLI's for all the increases.
    3) GSR HEEL
    This takes into account ALL the things I want in a sock pattern:
    1) No picking up stitches
    2) No DPNs
    3) No Kitchener Stitch
    4) No difficult increases
    And it's working BEAUTIFULLY!! The Christmas Stocking came out perfectly -- the big round toe looks great and I knit it up in just a couple days. It was so successful, I even made a pair of normal socks for myself with smaller yarn and they came out perfect, too! I was so pleased with myself -- to finally be able to find a SIMPLE way of doing a sock -- that I started googling for patterns of socks or Christmas Stockings that had all three components I was looking for. And, I did not find a SINGLE pattern like that! How can that be?? I know there are LOTS of amateur knitters out there, like myself, who are just too intimidated to try socks. I think that a pattern, or tutorial, that was a Toe-Up, Round Toe, GSR Heel sock would be incredibly helpful! (hint, hint😉) What do you think?🤔

    I found it so hard to find a good tutorial for my Toe Up with a GSR heel, in my own language. Googled in English, found you, and you saved me! No I also need to get the better stitches too, but thank you. Thank you also for seeing it through to how to finish it up nicely, those holes and all. My foot has a "high wrist", so I also need to find a way of nicely increase the width proportionally, preferably on the instep side just opposite from making the heal, not many sock patterns bother about that. I guess I must create my own pattern for my own feet, of course. Any suggestions otherwise? I made it with my first socks ever and your video, using the first example also, colours fitted nicely into the contrast colours. Thanks again!

    • @SuzanneBryan
      @SuzanneBryan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For "high arches" I find that heel flap with turn and gussets is easier to alter to give more stitches around the instep. Make the heel flap 2 or 4 rows longer and therefor pick up more gusset stitches. This gives the extra circumference at the instep. Happy knitting.

    Hello Suzanne.
    You’re one of the most skilled knitters I’ve ever come across so it’s only natural to go to you with my question. I’ve searched high and low but can’t find a good guide for the following : A sleeve cap knitted with GSR and stripes - changing color every 2 or 4 rows. I need to learn this technique so make symmetrical stripes that matches the body of a sweater - I hope I’m explaining it in a good way 😄 If you know a good technique please point me in the direction of it .. either here on TH-cam or online otherwise. Thanks for all your wonderful videos ❤️
    Kind regards, Mie

    • @SuzanneBryan
      @SuzanneBryan  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      this is a great question. I think your best bet would be to learn how to do contiguous sleeves. This would allow you to carry stripes from the body to the sleeve perfectly. The short row method, whether GSR or otherwise may not match exactly row to row from the body to the sleeve. Also, changing colors at each end of the short rows is going to present their own set of problems and may not look very tidy. I think you will love the contiguous sleeve method. Google it.

    I watched your video and it has helped me but I wonder after you did the wrap and turns and skipped to the end of the heel... Did you just continue knitting straight back and forth to finish the heel? I knitted all my double stitches together, did the wrap and turns and am stumped. I realize that knitting the rest of the heel is not that much work and can easily be ripped back and re-knitted but if I don't have to I'd rather not.

    Thank you so much your videos have taught me so much about knitting and I love learning new things and new ways of doing old things. 😊 I do have a question, I knit my socks on one needle, is it possible to do this method on the one long needle? Thank you again 💓

    • @SuzanneBryan

      yes, you would just make the divisions at the sides where I am using the two needles.

    Great video. I have a question 🙋 I'm curious why you use two circulars and not just the one. Is it possible just to use the one circular.

    • @SuzanneBryan
      @SuzanneBryan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a great question. You can choose one long circular and use magic loop, 2 24" circulars and use two at once or dpns. It is personal preference.
      The techniques are the same.

    Thank you Suzanna for ur videos. I still have a question about the heel stitches, do they have to be the first half of the round? Or it doesn’t really matter, which half should be knitted as the heel or as instep. Bcz in the beginning of the video, you mention that the tail of the main color should be on the left side.😢

    And now I have a question for you. I have done your regular GSR successfully three times now. And now I'm trying to use your 2nd method of not having the instep stripe. Everything went smoothly until I finished the heel. Then I realized my Main Color yarn was NOT where I needed it to be!😯 It was on the OTHER side of the heel. My heel looked just like yours does in the video -- working the Right Side, and all Double-Stitches resolved except for the last one on the far right. But no MC yarn. What have I done wrong? When I did this heel using your 1st method (with the Instep stripe), my MC yarn was exactly where it was supposed to be. Could I have made an error like forgetting to make a DS, or something? I was quite focused when knitting this heel, so I don't think I made any mistakes, but it's possible. Could I have started the heel incorrectly?🤔 I'm just stumped!

      Make sure that wherever you are when you stop the main color and start the contrast color, that you will stop the contrast color at that same spot so you can pick up the main color again and carry on.

    Do you have a video that covers how to knit a short row heel if you have a high instep?

    • @SuzanneBryan
      @SuzanneBryan  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is such a great question. I have seen short row heels with additional rows at the leg edge, but they really do not increase the depth of the instep, which is the problem with high arches. I have exceptionally high arches, and although I can wear short row heels, I much prefer heel flap and gusset style heels. If the sock is a plain sock with no particular patterning happening over the instep, you can get away with the short row heel, but if there is stranding or any other type of patterning that will fall over the instep, the short row heel will cause the fabric to stretch over the instep and distort the patterning. Look at lots of hand knit socks on feet, with attention to the instep and you will see what I mean. This would be a great video topic. Thank you Elaine. Happy knitting.

    thanks for this super-duper video! One question: this type of heel can be very shallow depending on the foot, if you knit the second type the instep has two fewer rows no? The use of the neon yarn is genius!

    • @SuzanneBryan
      @SuzanneBryan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for your observation.
      Actually, the traditional German Short Row Heel, as shown in the first example has two more rows than other short row heels, due to the two rows which go all away around the sock. The second example, because of the added two rows to compensate for the loss of the stripe around the foot, has exactly the same number of rows as the first example. You can even count them in the cover picture if want. But, overall, your comment is correct, short row heels are shorter than heel flap/gusset heels. I have really high arches and prefer the heel flap/gusset style fo heel, but can still wear short row heels if I have to.

      @@SuzanneBryan For some reason I thought the second way without the stripe around the instep would make the heel just a smidge deeper and that could be a good thing. Now I don't know. lol

      They both have the same number of rows in the heel.

      To follow-up on heel depth w short row heels - if we initially divide the stitches with the center section a couple of stitches less will that make a slightly bigger/deeper heel? For example, starting heel with 36 st = divide them 13, 10, 13? Or too lopsided?

  • @teresawells6043

    I have one question: Did you purl back with the main color so that it would be there to be picked up when you finished the contrasting heel?

    • @SuzanneBryan
      @SuzanneBryan  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope. because I am working with the two circulars, I can start or stop the yarn at either end. Watch again and you will see what I did.

      It is personal preference. I use double pointed needles, 2 circulars or magic loop. they all work pretty much the same for me. But each person has their preference and that is just fine. Knitting is for everyone and there is no one right or wrong way. Happy knitting.
