Thank you for showing how you knit this, Ive never used circular needles and I wasn't sure how to to do this at all. I am such a newbie at this I appreciate it when the maker doesn't assume I already know how to do each step!! Thank You Thank You!!!
I love this video! I am trying to figure something out. Once you separate the tubes, you have a “top” and a “bottom.” It looks like when you start the heel, you add it from the bottom end first. With adding the toe and the cuff, you are knitting one of the two sort of upside down on the existing tube of knitting. How do you handle that, knitting off the left leg of the stitch?
What a wonderful experience being with you through this lovely patient and very helpful video. I sure needed this info as I can NEVER find ANY socks that fit my feet. At last, after more than 30 years, I will actually have custom made socks thanks to your tech. Loved your voice and approach. I also wear "thick" socks even in summer, as I too always have cold feet - but a warm heart like you. Thanks.
I"m 3d printing a CSM, and turning the heel and making a toe kinda terrify me. Knowing that this is possible, and your instructions are so clear, I"m not as afraid of my new toy anymore!! If I fail at turning, I'll just make my tube, and keep going!!!
Great tutorial. The foot measuring advice is really helpful. I do pull my needles through to just the cord when I cut so I have more space to work. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. You made so easy to understand. I agree with others, you should be making more tutorials or podcasts. I know it’s a lot of work, but you are very good. Cheers
This kit is genius! Folks will be thankful for you taking the time to make this informative video. Cutting your knitting can be scary....but after that first snip....you open up a whole new world of knitting don’t you.... Well done!
I just bought an Erlbacher Speedster and found your wonderful video. I measured my size 8 foot and got 9.5”. You have a size 6 foot that measures 9.25”. I’m confused. Shouldn’t mine measure longer?
Nice video. Thank you. When you mark the top of each 1/4 of the tube, then when you knit the four cuffs, that works great. However, when you start to knit the toes, your knitting against the spiral (opposite direction of the spiral). Doesn't that leave a gap? Thanks!
Thank you Shelley. I love my DPN’s and use them for all my socks. What do you think about using them for your cranked sets? Looking forward to getting mine!!!
Надо же, впервые вижу такую технику вязания. У нас, в Казахстане, такие наборы не продают. Техника интересная, но вязать самим намного быстрее и проще. Я, например, за 1 час вяжу пару следиков на двух спицах. Wow, this is the first time I've seen such a knitting technique. We, in Kazakhstan, do not sell such sets. The technique is interesting, but knitting yourself is much faster and easier. For example, I knit a pair of slippers on two needles in 1 hour.
There is a few reasons why... 1. You would need to know exactly how long to crank each tube ahead of time. People who crank tubes and sell them usually just crank it into one tube. Then you can decide how long to make your socks. 2. You have to put a different color of waste yarn in between each tube, and you would still have to pick up all your stitches after for each tube. This is less waste. 3. It’s no more tedious than picking up your stitches for your heels and toes and cuffs.

I’d like to see more tutorials. You’re a good teacher. Thanks 🙏

Thanks for the video! I just received one of your crank sets and can't wait to try this!

Im listening to you while i work...i guess i love your tone

Thank you for doing this video!! My CSM will be arriving today (happy dance) and I found your channel just in time 🥰
This kit is genius!

Well done!
This is what I need to do for gift socks. 🧦 Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏻
Great tutorial! This looks like a lot fun to do! I had no idea that a tube can be turned into a pair of socks. I look forward to more videos from you.
this was excellent!! I am getting a few tubes cranked and will follow your suggestions.
Thanks so much for this video Shelley. Looking forward to meeting you at the Edmonton Fibre Frolic.
When you knit in two different directions, like you will here with cuffs and toes in opposite directions, aren’t you off by 1/2 stitch?

Charlene Taylor Yes, it does. I use my end tails and weave them in at that spot to close the gap. 😊
@@polkadotcreek2177 Thank you!! I'll try that.
I would like to know how you finish a heal/toe cap. Is the another video to watch?
Thank you Shelley. I love my DPN’s and use them for all my socks. What do you think about using them for your cranked sets? Looking forward to getting mine!!!
what length are your Needles? I got a pair and the cord between was unbearable short for this.
Great tutorial!!! Thank you!
What kind of knitting machine do you use?
Thankyou. I was just wondering what length your circular needles are?
I like to use 32” cord. 2.5mm needle 🙂
We're can you the tube and sock yarn from

Great video….thank you.
Thank you for this helpful video. Who was the person you mentioned to have a look at?
The other video that has a great after though heel video is Kirby Wirby’s video here on TH-cam
What circular knititng machine did you use?
An Erlbacher Gearhart Speedster
Why not use waste yarn at the 1/2 way point on the machine to make things easier to separate the socks?
Sure, you can do that if you know where the half way point is, or where you want it to be. You can do whatever you want. This is what I do.
Where’s your bin?
Hello! Great video, thank you very much. Do you have the instructions by chance in writing?
Hi!
Yes, on my Ravelry page you can download it-Shelley Dupont Designs
Thank you 🌿💮
Thank you!
Just great. Thanks.
Where do I find your notes on Ravelry?
You can find them on revelry.com under Shelley Dupont Designs or Polka dot creek

What machine do you use to make the tubes? I can’t quite catch what you say at the start.
Amanda Gordon I use an Erlbacher Gearhart Speedster 😊
Polka Dot Creek Gots me one of those a few weeks ago. 😬
I’m processing the math. If I have a size 11 foot and like a 5 inch leg, I would use 12 inches of tube? 🤔
jjbing3 Yes, I believe so!
Tedious. Why not just crank 4 tubes?
There is a few reasons why...
1. You would need to know exactly how long to crank each tube ahead of time. People who crank tubes and sell them usually just crank it into one tube. Then you can decide how long to make your socks.
2. You have to put a different color of waste yarn in between each tube, and you would still have to pick up all your stitches after for each tube. This is less waste.
3. It’s no more tedious than picking up your stitches for your heels and toes and cuffs.
Using the eye end of the needle makes unraveling stitches easier.
