"I'm going to assume you've knit on magic loop before" honey, I've never knit ANYTHING before but I wanna make socks!
Did you make some socks? I'm about to attempt these this week!
Your video was the best one in explaining the technique- I have always struggled with the idea of two socks in one magic loop and after your video Im enjoying it so much . Thank you very much
Thank you, I'm so glad to hear it was helpful!
Great idea . They are a pair so awesome way to make sure they got the same length.
This method is great for that, especially without counting!!
Tha is so much. You were very clear and now I’m making my first toe up two at a time!
Thank you!!!!! I’m eternally grateful that you posted this. I’ve been struggling so hard
So glad it was helpful, good luck on your socks!
This is my first time trying this. The video is very good illustrated by you, thank you, wish me luck!!
You got this!!!
Thank you, the way you explain the method is great, I have learned something today. Looking forward to other videos you may make.
Thanks and good luck!
Thanks for posting. Nice to see that you dye your yarn.
Good information, thank you.
Now that you've become a guru? How long does it take you to make a pair?
I just wanna comment so your video can have more points in the algorithm.
Great tutorial
Just wondering about where to get the pattern
Been looking for a video like your
thanks for sharing.. definitely going to try this out
Awesome, you got this!!
Thank you for the clear and fast video. Just wondering if I can do a GSR heel on two socks at a time. I’ve heard that you can’t. Thank you 😊
Hi Kendra! Thank you so much for this video. I finally got the hang of magic loop and just finished my first pair of socks. Now I am very excited to try to knit two at a time! I'd also like to know what kind of camera are you using? It seems to refocus very easily for close work.
The video would be better if you showed more of the cast on. Many times your hands go off the camera and/or it is unfocused. Sorry, but I gave up after 5 mins.
Sorry to hear that! I'm still figuring out the camera and better filming techniques. Hope you find something more helpful to you!
I appreciate the tutorial. Have you tried a Turkish cast on? It is very simple and fast. :)
No I haven't, ill have to look it up! I used to do judys magic cast on but find this way much easier to remember!
I have never seen this cast on.. very interesting.
Let me know how it works if you try it out!
So glad I found this video. Thank you!
You’re welcome, good luck with your socks!!
I have purchased the FLK heel and love it. It’s my first time working TAAT Magic loop... do you work a row on the first sock to get to the second sock or just slip the stitches?
I just work the entire first heel (so on the last row the first two stitches are twin stitches) then work the second heel until it’s the same, then continue in the round with magic loop (so front of the second sock, front of the first the back of the first to knit the last two twin stitches). Hope that helps!
Kendra Makes thank you!! I will be doing that ❤️
Please make a video of how to knit these two socks together from head to heel.
tnx 4 doing this but in the future can u please slow down ur talking and keep ur hands in the centre of the view window please. it felt like u were racing through this as quickly as possible. yes I understand magic loop but it would of've been nice to not feel rushed like mad. Please can u show all aspects don't just verbally say something so fast n do 2 stiched n cut to u having all ready finished it. tnk u for taking time but please slow down n less choppy editing. x
Thanks for the feedback. Sorry you thought it was rushed and not helpful. Showing the whole process would be a many hour video and I aim to keep up things a bit more brief which sometimes means going more quickly. Hope you find some other videos that are more what you are looking for.
Krystina Goudie One way to watch a vidoe that is going too fast is go to settings button, click on speed've done this many times especially when I am working along with the video. Slowing down the speed is the best way to work along with a video. Hope this helps you.
thanks for sharing this procedure. it is complicated. what is your favorite heel pattern? which heel pattern wears the best?
There are a few steps but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad!! I haven't done a big comparison of heel types- I typically wear through my socks at the ball of my foot rather than the heel. I usually do the fish lips kiss heel, just because I like the process of putting it in!
What sock pattern do you use. My daughter loves the size you have on video and I am beginner trying to learn.
This pair is the Blueberry Waffles pattern, knit in this method: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blueberry-waffle-socks
Hi. I need help.
I first knit one at a time toe up GSR heel socks on one 9” circular. And then knit Two at a time toe up socks on one long circular using Magic Loop
Now I’ve bought two sets of the same size tips (2.5) and two 14” cables so I can knit Two at a time; Toe up socks; using Judy’s Magic Cast On.
But on Two Circulars.
I found Magic Loop really annoying
I can’t find a sock pattern or tutorial for that combination. I’ve been searching and searching but can’t seem to find anything exact.
Can you direct me to a pattern with video tutorial (I’m a see-do learner)?
Thank you 🙏
Grate knitting the both socks
Together.if I may give a tip
It looks to me like only for the 2-3first row could be better knitt separate!!?
I think some people prefer that and if it works for you then that is great! It is a bit annoying together but to me less annoying than having to knit them separately. Maybe that’s just me though!!
great tutorial! what weight would you say the yarn is?
It’s a fingering weight 😊
You’re a good teacher. I feel your video could be improved by staying on camera instead of going off to the top where we can’t see what you’re doing and by showing more of the cast on - which was why I wanted to watch it. Don’t assume your viewers know how to do what you’re teaching. You know how to do it but we don’t. Would you consider re-doing it but with every detail shown ON CAMERA? Well done anyway, and thanks.
How do you do the blueberry waffle pattern
It's a simple free pattern available here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blueberry-waffle-socks
thisDIYmomLife thanks
What is the brand and color of the blue looking yarn?
All these yarns I dyed myself!
How do I avoid ladders ? It’s my only problem with this method.
I really just try to make sure the first and last stitch on each needle are snug- do you have ladders typically got magic loop?
What is your needles size and brand please, i am very confused and trying to choose a brand
I’m using Hiya hiya sharps 2.00mm needles. I do have a video comparing some popular sock needle brands that may be helpful: th-cam.com/video/QMmj2MH_KI4/w-d-xo.html
this DIY mom life I am trying to choose a budget needle set or a collected set of needles, but I see the chiaogoo sets offer short cables in all their sets, do you think I should take one of them or go for another option knowing that I want to purchase a set of needles for life.
Should I consider long cables only to give me flexibility over different types of projects.
Please help.
Thanks
I really like chiaogoo needles and have a set that includes size us 2-8 and three cables (I think 16”, 32” and 40”) that is really all I need for about 90% of my knitting. If I were building my collection, I would get a set like this and then purchase a separate sock needle. I know chiaogoo makes sets with just sock sizes, however I use my preferred size (the us 0/ 2mm but this may vary depending on your gauge and how tight you knit socks). I very rarely use other tiny needles smaller than the us 2 in my interchangeable set. Hope that helps!
I know this was three years ago. But with Chaiogoo needle sets you can connect a couple of cords together to make a longer cable to work with. I hope that helps.
Try very hard to catch your fast explanation, unable to understand how it is done from increased stitch to join the pieces. Is there any document or PDF file to explain in details?
Hmm not sure what you are having trouble with. I’m sure you can google a written tutorial if that is what you like but I haven’t used any so can’t really recommend any specifically. Good luck!
Hello, I just came across your Video, & I am knitting 2 socks at a time.
QUESTION : I finished turning the heel on my sock, but how do u pick up sts, in the Rnd with out taking off one sock. I tried it, but it didn't work for me
Can u show a video of this please. Thank you
I’ll have to try and do a separate video socks with a heel flap!
You wouldn't have twisted stitches if you didn't put your wy on the wrong way
Hey, sorry I don't follow- what do you mean by wy? I keep thinking waste yarn but that doesn't make sense!
thisDIYmomLife Working yarn
Hmm, I have played around with it quite a bit but haven't been able to get rid of the twist. I was curious after your comment and see other videos for figure 8 cast on mention it too. You should make a video if you have a better technique 😊
I apologize, I didn't mean to imply you weren't doing a great job, you are. I just haven't seen a tutorial with problems with twisted stitches, at first I thought it looked like you were putting your yarn on your needle differently. Also, I am by no means a good knitter myself and wouldn't think of doing a tut but I do watch quite a few tutorials and have seen the figure 8 cast on too.That wasn't the part I was referring to. While its not a big deal to untwist the stitch it seems like it could slow things down a bit, but who's racing right?! I know there are many ways to get a similar end result and ultimately whatever works for you is the best way. I will leave you a link to one of the you tubers I follow, I like many of her techniques but again hers is not the only way. th-cam.com/video/z1XWE7IRC0Q/w-d-xo.html
No worries! Thanks for sharing your experience!!!
Very hard to watch what you're doing as you're out of site alot
This is not a knitting tutorial🙍🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Sorry that it was not helpful, hope you can find a tutorial that works better for you.
