I want to try an anatomical toe on socks.That sounds great! I have recently tried the shadow wrap short row heel and it’s awesome! Easy, and no holes, no counting. My favorite, for sure.
My favorite heels are short row. I switch between either the Fish Lips Kiss heel or the Shadow Wrap heel. They are similar in that they both use twin stitches.
I tried the anatomical toe once, but the angle was too severe/angled for my toes in the pattern I used. I re-designed it, but haven’t tried it yet. I totally forgot about it until you mentioned it. I like to try different heels and just bought a pattern that starts with the heel with a provisional cast on. I may save that for your sock week!
Hello there! Do you have any pattern or receipe for the ergonomic toe for socks please ? I would like to try but I can’t figure out how to do. Thank you. Love your numerous tutorials. Brilliant! I learn a lot even if I know how to knit from my youngest age.
@@619to253 Putting it in a lanolin bath. :) Lanolin is natural wool fat. Wool naturally contains lanolin, but in yarns, this is washed away. By lanolizing your wool, you give it that natural protection back. Wool needs lanolin to be healthy, but lanolin is a fat and our society has this crazy anti-fat thing going on. Real wool lovers lanolize their wool to protect it and keep it healthy.
Using a different color yarn for the small sock parts ie heel, toe cuff it helps with better understanding of the different parts while learning. I used this technique when learning to make lace with 2 shuttles for tatting
Any tips for a good heel technique for high instep folks? I have tried several heels and all of them feel very tight getting my foot in and out of that “turn.”
Measure from your outside ankle bone to the floor. Knit a top down heel flap and gusset sock. Make your heel flap the same length as what you measured. This means more gusset decreases, but gives you the room for your instep. My measurement is three inches which works out to 48 rows at my gauge. Yours will be different depending on your measurement and gauge. Short row, afterthought, etc. heels don't fit my instep at all.
Always learn something when I watch you. Never heard of the assymetrical toe you talked about. I just did the shadow wrap heel and liked it even better than the FLK. Someday I’ll get up my nerve to try an afterthought. 🧶💕🧶
German short row heel girl here!
You can knit in your cast-on ends as well! I only ever have the toe end to weave in.

have you tried it? it causes a R and L sock so i think i'll stick to the round toe

Love the tips! New to knitting and also socks! Needed this overview for the complete picture. I need the "bunion toe" LOL 😂
Another excellent and very helpful video...I'm an avid sock knitter so I thank you very much!
So excited for Sock Week!!! 🧦🦈
Thanks Natalie always so informative. Look forward to Sock Week.
I’m a big fan of blocking before I wear as well. They look so pretty! It’s a final touch.
Loved this one too Natalie! Great tips! Can’t wait for sock week 🦈
Thank you so much for these tips! I watched the other video too. My goal is to start knitting my first pair of socks sometime in fall/winter 2023!!
How did those socks work out? Did you manage to get them done?
Some great tips! Thanks Natalie.

Do you have a favourite wool wash?
Haha, did you know there are actually some sock knitters that knit from the toe up?
6. Lanolize their socks (and other knitwork) 😜 Nothing that takes care of your wool better than a lanolin bath.
What is Lanolize?

Heel flap and gusset. I add extra rows to the flap to create even more room.
What is the name of that sock pattern please.. The first one...? Xxx
I'm also quite curious about the pattern of the gray/white and black sock. It looks really pretty.
@@charlottemeixner7536 hi Charlotte.... If I find out what that pattern is, I will let you know!! X
