You really do a wonderful job of demystifying the mechanics of knitting techniques. Thank you so much for the work you put into this, it's invaluable ❤
Thank you so much. I just learned the stranding technique.. I wish I saw your video prior to beginning my project… I like the way you hold the yarn. Thank
Beautiful! Oh my goodness, thank you for such a clear and precise tutorial. I have never done colorwork or corrugated ribbing, but I think I am ready to try, thank you. Beautiful sock by the way.
I've been knitting for 50 years now, but my work is not as nice as yours. You're very talented. I love this sock very much and I'm hoping to find it on your channel. I'm a new subscriber, so I'm just now working through your videos. You're a great teacher, everything is very clear and concise. I can do continental knitting, but my stitches are always way too loose (I tend to knit loosely anyway no matter how hard I try). I hope I can work on that so these socks don't look funny with some stitches really loose and some tighter. I notice that you work at the tips of the needles. I will have to concentrate on doing that and maybe it will help my tension.
You are my knitting hero. I feel like I'll *never* get to this level of skill, I'm still so clunky and so afraid of making mistakes it holds me back from progressing to more complex patterns. I'm teaching myself by watching You Tube videos and there's not a lot of help for the mistakes I make along the way so I often can't figure out where I went wrong and just tear everything back and start all over again. *le sigh*
Thank you! I decided I prefer to do this stitch one colour at a time, skipping the other colour. Also I found that working on larger needles helps to keep it not too tight. I just cant mange knitting with two colours at the same time.
Your knitting is so perfect that it looks machine done! You are an amazing teacher; in fact, I'm watching all your videos back-to-back! Are you also a designer? Would love to purchase the pattern for this gorgeous sock.
When you see more videos coming up for this sock, you will know that the pattern is ready. Thank you so much for watching my videos. I love teaching about knitting, and I design as well. Mostly for my own entertainment though, not for a living. Happy knitting, Suzanne
+Susan, the first thing I learned is socks on DPN's I've always done them top down, 3K+1P ribbing, I always wash them by hand, so I still have some old timers, now I want to learn Toe Up and just love this Corrugated 2X2 - with clear instructions, I can do it.
Hello, thanks for a fantastic demonstration. I have not seen kntting like this with two circulars, I can't quite imagine what is happening, at each round I guess the project is just transferred from one pair if circulars to the other? Can you say what the advantage is of that over using just one small circular , I'm not keen on magic loop technique and am more familiar with dpns but have just started with circulars. Thanks again fro another great lesson.
Thank you. It's very interesting method. I like jacquard, but I did not use your method. Sorry for my mistakes. I live in Ukrane, study English, but now I know English a little bit.
Suzanne thank you for this lesson. I am at present working my way through all of your videos while waiting to start our ITAG. I am fascinated with this yarn you are using. I haven't seen anything quite like it in New Zealand. Are you able to tell us what it is please? Robyn Kirk
Thank you! The yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts SOCKS THAT ROCK, lightweight. I do not remember the color name, but you can do this sort of work with any multicolored yarn paired with a solid or semi solid. Be careful to choose two yarns that do not contain the same color. If the same color is in both yarns, the pattern will disappear when those two colors are next to each other. Hugs and Happy Knitting.
Great calm and clear demonstration! Is there a link to your pattern for these socks? I have been wanting a pattern with the sole in a stranded pattern. This one is so pretty with your yarn colors! Thanks.
There is no pattern at this point, but someday. I do have another pattern though that you might like - Starry Starry Night Socks - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/starry-starry-night-socks. They have patterning on the soles too. Happy knitting.
Hello Mary, I use two 24" circulars for knitting small diameter in the round projects. Each needle holds half of the stitches. You always knit with both ends of the same needle. Never knit with both needles. Try it and see what you think. 🧶
I love this sock. What method did you use for your cast on? I have always wanted to make a pair of sock using two yarns. Is your pattern out yet? I just now found your video looking at other videos on socks.
I really like this style of ribbing and have used it several times. My problem is - I don't know how to describe it precisely - when I purl I seem to use an excess of yarn for those 2 purl stitches and have to use a 3rd needle to pull up the excess yarn. it happens every time I use this stitch. I'm a tight knitter anyway, and don't want to pull the yarn too tight and lose my floats... any suggestions... anybody?
You can contact me directly on Ravelry. I am knittingsuzanne. Send me a picture or better yet, a video of you knitting this and I can help you figure out your problem.
Hi Suzanne,, I know this video is 4 years old, but I was wondering if you ever got the pattern finished for these beautiful socks, if so where can I get the pattern, thanks in advance.
Yes, but it may be harder to control the stranding across the cable change. I have a video on small diameter stranded knitting that you might like to see. It is this same sock sample - th-cam.com/video/jBdK6JNcJSo/w-d-xo.html.
It is very similar to magic loop. Instead of having half the stitches on one part of the cable and the other half on another part of the cable, you just use two cables and split the stitches. Some day I will make a video on it. But I am sure you can find some good TH-cam videos on how to do it. It is my preferred method.
I was starting to come to the conclusion that you were using two 3-pointed needles! An absolutely beautiful top to the most beautiful sock I've seen in a long time! Bless you.
I truly enjoy learning new skills from you. May I ask, what kind (brand) of needles do you use? I'm thinking of investing in another set of needles for finer work and wondered if you had any recommendations.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks for the information. I want to invest in another set of circulars because your videos have turned me on to the art of lacework. Can you tell me what are the most common sizes I would need, that way I could build my set slowly.
Try steaming it a little or blocking it, before anything else. Often that will solve the problem. Otherwise, you may need to go down a needle size if your gauge changed during the corrugated ribbing. Let me know if either of these work. Happy knitting.
I knit in the continental style. It is a commonly recognized style of knitting. That means that for general knitting, I hold the yarn in my left hand. For stranded work, I hold one yarn in each hand. The dominant in my left hand. I am right handed. Many, many people knit this way, but not as many as who knit holding the yarn in their right hand.
I understand the corrugated ribbing but, how does it relate to colour jogs - is that a non-issue with this technique and, do we need to worry about setting a place marker? I couldn't tell from the vid how you are identifying the end/beginning of your rows.
When using circulars or dpns, you can use the starting tail as your place marker. It will always be at the start of one of the needles. Generally, in stranded knitting, you don't need to worry about jogs, they seem to just blend in. Most of the time. There are always exceptions. Happy knitting.
I have been trying the corrugated two color ribbing and can't figure out how to handle the ws row (flat knitting, not in the round). And how do I cast on with two colors?
I usually cast on with one color and work a garter ridge before I start the corrugated ribbing. That gives a nice edge in one color. Then start the ribbing. When working a WS row you will need to hold the floats to the WS (towards you) as you work the ribbing. I hope this helps. I am adding this idea to my video list. Thank you! I hope you have chosen to subscribe to my channel and that you will share my videos on your social media groups such as FB, Ravelry, Pinterest, Reddit, etc. Happy knitting, Suzanne.
Please tell me you have this sock pattern for sale. Also, is this corrugated ribbing the same as in your stary night sock pattern? Am purchasing the latter.
The Starry Starry Night Socks use a 1x1 corrugated ribbing. There are links to videos throughout the pattern for help, including 1x1 ribbing. Thank you and enjoy the pattern.
How does it look to you as is? Do you think twisting the yarns would make it look better? In this situation, twisting would not be helpful! Great question. Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, and share with your friends. That is the biggest thanks you can give me! Happy knitting!

Beautiful! Oh my goodness, thank you for such a clear and precise tutorial. I have never done colorwork or corrugated ribbing, but I think I am ready to try, thank you. Beautiful sock by the way.
You will love it once you get the hang of it. It took me awhile to become proficient, but now I am addicted to colorwork.
I can see why!
I've never saw corrugated ribbing before. It's so pretty! Thanks for teaching this n all your videos.
Happy Knitting!
Hi. You're very generous and open. Thank you so much, from one continental knitter to another continental knitter
Yay! Hugs and Happy Knitting.
Wonderful demonstration so clear and concise. I would love to know the name of the pattern you are using.
Thank you I'm going to try this, but will keep the 2 colors as you do it. Amazing
Have fun!
Not sure if I am ready for it, but it sure is gorgeous 🌟❤️ thank you for the wonderful tutorial
You’re welcome 😊

Tell me the kinds of mistakes you make and I may be able to help you.
Thanks once again. Later on today I shall be starting my sock over. I had no idea about using a third needle. It is all so neat.
Thank you, happy knitting.
THAT is the most beautiful sock I have ever seen.
Thank you.
Such a great video!! I was soooo confused…you made it soooo clear…Thank you sooo very much!! I appreciate your expertise🧶
Thank you, Joanne, I'm so happy to help!
I really enjoy watching your videos while knitting, even if I don’t need that technique at the moment. Thanks 🌿
And one more question. Do you have pattern for this pair of socks? I saw a glimpse if heel and toe, and I really like them.
it is in my todo list. some day. Happy Knitting.
This was so helpful to me. Thank you for showing this technique. I really was attracted to the yarn colors. I am new to sock knitting.
Great. Some day, this will be a pattern available on Ravelry. Happy knitting.
Thank you! I decided I prefer to do this stitch one colour at a time, skipping the other colour. Also I found that working on larger needles helps to keep it not too tight. I just cant mange knitting with two colours at the same time.

Great tutorial and very lovely work! I only wish that I could meet you for knitting lessons...
Thank you! 😊
seriously, I have been scared of my own shadow,
seeing this beautiful work, and clear explanation,
I feel that I can soar!
thank you +Suzanne Bryan
How wonderful. Let me know how it goes for you. I love to get feedback from my viewers. Happy Knitting.

Very good. Happy knitting.

marvellous piece of work
Thank you.
Do you have any knitting books that you published? I enjoyed your video and would like more instructions on corrugated knitting.
Not yet, but I do have several very in-depth tutorials available on Ravelry. Just look for Suzanne Bryan and you will find them. 🧶
8 years ago and looks so on trend still ❤
Suzanne, lovely work! What is the variegated yarn please?
It is a yarn from Blue Moon Fiber Arts
Gracias por su explicación Suzanne🙂
Thank you.

So, you are introducing a 2nd empty needle after you bring that cable around, and all the stitches end up on that new needle introduced?
Hello Mary, I use two 24" circulars for knitting small diameter in the round projects. Each needle holds half of the stitches. You always knit with both ends of the same needle. Never knit with both needles. Try it and see what you think. 🧶
I love this sock. What method did you use for your cast on? I have always wanted to make a pair of sock using two yarns. Is your pattern out yet? I just now found your video looking at other videos on socks.
A long tail cast on in contrasting color. Pattern will be out soon.

No, sorry, not yet, so many other things going on. It is still on my todo list though. 🧶

You're welcome!
It’s a great video thank you. However I couldn’t make up my mind whether you were using two circular needles or one. I think two...?
Two, but you can also do this on dpns or magic loop. th-cam.com/video/Ce5A7ZAc-KA/w-d-xo.html
I was starting to come to the conclusion that you were using two 3-pointed needles! An absolutely beautiful top to the most beautiful sock I've seen in a long time! Bless you.
Suzanne, what brand of knitting needles are you using in this video?
These are Hiya Hiya Sharps.
What is the stitch at the bottom of the sock? It kind of looks like two color honeycomb brioche but I don’t think that it is.
It is just a little stranded pattern of small squares. Thanks for watching. Happy knitting.
I truly enjoy learning new skills from you. May I ask, what kind (brand) of needles do you use? I'm thinking of investing in another set of needles for finer work and wondered if you had any recommendations.
I especially like sharp tips. My favorites right now are Hiya Hiya Sharps and Chiagoo Lace.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks for the information. I want to invest in another set of circulars because your videos have turned me on to the art of lacework. Can you tell me what are the most common sizes I would need, that way I could build my set slowly.
HI Suzanne. I try to bind off my corrugated rib but I did not like by bind off. It flairs a bit. Any advise please, Thank you.
Try steaming it a little or blocking it, before anything else. Often that will solve the problem. Otherwise, you may need to go down a needle size if your gauge changed during the corrugated ribbing. Let me know if either of these work. Happy knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks a lot I will try both. Love.
Great. Let me know how it turns out.
Is the way you hold your needles and wrap your knitting a recognised style or are you left handed? I have never seen this method before?
I knit in the continental style. It is a commonly recognized style of knitting. That means that for general knitting, I hold the yarn in my left hand. For stranded work, I hold one yarn in each hand. The dominant in my left hand. I am right handed. Many, many people knit this way, but not as many as who knit holding the yarn in their right hand.

Thank you! Happy knitting.
Where can I find this pattern
Hi Sheila! I don't have a pattern for this just yet, but it's in the works so stay tuned.
Thank you have a great day
It would be much easier to folllow with 2 really different strands, like black and white than multicolor strand like those you choose
Next time, I will do that. Thank you!
Why don't you twist them, as in intarsia?

Look how beautiful her floats are going across the back! Practice! Practice! Practice!
Thank you.

Thank you امينه سليمان! Happy knitting.
You are TOO FAR AWAY from your mic... too hard to hear you.
Sorry, i have since bought a new mic. Happy knitting.
Awesome!!! I love your videos Suzanne. I always recommend you as one of my top knitting guru's :-)
