The EarthtonesGirl Podcast Present:
NO FEAR SOCK KNITTING CLASS ONLINE
Class 4: The Heel on 2 Circular Needles
NO FEAR SHORTY SOCK PATTERN:
www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...
In Today’s class we are going cover the long awaited, much anticipated, very feared sock heel! But things are about to change. Today I’m going to teach you how to knit a perfect, hole-free heel flap and gusset. I’m beyond excited because I’m hoping this tutorial will give you the tools to overcome the fear and frustration that holds so many knitters back.
Each step in the process, heel flap, heel turn, and gusset will be covered slowly (I’m talking snail’s pace) and clearly to walk you through and get those heels knitted.
The pattern instructions are from my No Fear Shorty Sock Pattern. There is a link above.
As always if you have any questions, let me know but I do suggest watching the video, maybe more than once, practicing the steps, taking deep breaths and going slowly. You can do this!!!! Trust me!!
Upcoming Classes:
Class 5: The Heel on Magic Loop - February 29
Class 6: The Foot and Toe - March 7
Class 7: Two At A Time - March 14
There will be bonus tutorial videos added along with way.

You are incredible. I have been making socks for a long time but this has helped me so much with little tidbits you used like knitting through the back loops when picking up the stitches along the side. I have always struggled with so many things while knitting socks. You are a fabulous teacher and a joy to watch. I wrote down your little saying “comparison is the thief of joy” because I want to remember when comparing my knitting to others. That hit the nail on the head for me. Thank you so much for all the work you do.

And am confused, wouldn’t we repeat rows 3 and 4 14 times for a medium instead of 16 as you mentioned here…isn’t 16 for those who are knitting a large size. Should I knit rows 3 and 4 14 times for a medium size and still end up with 32 rows? Thank you so much🙏🏼

I know you are going to get tired of seeing my name come up, but I am so excited. I finally understand the “Why we do this”. I love the fact you are teaching us the construction step by step and what happens WHEN we do this step. Bless your heart for sharing your knowledge. I once had a calligraphy teacher who said, “I am going to teach you everything I know about calligraphy. Some of my fellow teachers think this isn’t a good thing because then I won’t be superior to you.” How sad. Now this knowledge gets passed down from generation to generation because we have confidence which makes it fun. Again, I give you a BIG THUMBS UP. I know this takes a lot of time and effort on your part. OK, I’m off my soap box, continue on. Haaaa.

I made mine split toe (tabi toe) socks so I can wear them with my flip flops. I live in Arizona so I can wear my flip flops all year. I am back this year to make some more socks. I’m so happy to find this video from last year because you explain so well. Love 💕 your thorough explanation since I forget from year to year how to knit socks. 🥰🥰

@tinas8460 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Denise, I had a real eye opener while watching you demonstrating the heel flap... It might be obvious for most people but for me it was not... The stitches on the needle are nothing than potential loops and are nothing specific as long as I knit over them. This realization is so helpful to understand what I am making. I started a textured sock pattern last October and in the heel construction it says "continue in pattern". This let me stumble and give up in the end because I didn't know what I know now. Thank you for giving me the self-confidence to master difficult looking patterns. 🙏🏻🤗😘

Hey EarthtoneGirl (Denise) --- I Love your classes!!!

WOW - you have opened a whole can of worms for me!!!! My excitement is over the roof ---- I have been going CRAZY doing this Sock knitting ---- I am 87 years old now, and it did not seem to me knitting was as complicated when I was 7 or 8 ---- but, that does not matter --- I am making myself - my daughter - my granddaughter --- and I do not know who else yet --- a pair of hand knitted socks for Christmas!!!! Thank YOU so much!!! I totally appreciate you --- I know these socks I am making are not perfect ----- but, they are PERFECT TO ME ---- We also sheered our own sheep, and spun our wool for the socks!!!

I have knitted socks on a 9” circular needle in the past and loved it. I am making knitting your socks on one circular needle now but after watching this video, I am seriously thinking of trying my next socks on 2 circular needles. That looks awesome. Great video. Thank you so much.

Oh my goodness! I loved this section! I counted by stitches all wrong and knit to 32 stitches of the slipped stitches! I kept saying to myself that this piece was AWFUL big but this is my first heel flap and gusset so what did I know! So happy to be following along! Great teaching, such patience? Thanks for this video.

Thank you for teaching these superb detailed classes. I've wanted to do socks for ages and have had trouble with every pattern I've tried. Here in your videos I GOT IT! I'm on my way to making a sock. Of course I have a long way to go but you answered questions I had, demonstrated clearly the challenges I was facing and gave suggestions and tools for keeping the knitting organized as I go. I like that you have a sock to show the finished project. Using a pale multi-colour is brilliant. It is easier to see and count the stitches. I started by listening to Class 1 and began casting on as I listened to Class 2 a second time. Now, I must admit I don't have the correct needles so I am using a 3.25 mm and the sock is a little 'loose' but once the proper needles arrive I'll start for real and make myself a pair. The loosey goosey sock has been frogged many rows and then tinked one row to fix errors many times. Silly to work on it when I'm tired but I was so excited. Lesson learned. Now I've purchased the pattern so can reference it as I listen to your videos. I love that I can do this over and over again at my own pace until I 'get' whatever confuses me. FYI my Ravelry page is GrammyDsKnitting Again, thank you, Denise.

This was an excellent class!! I love my heel. I am loving this style of heel. It is not hard at all ... just a lot of moving parts and you have to keep track of where you are. With the markers, keeping track of things is not hard at all. This was not any kind of watching paint dry. I needed every step of this video!!!!

Thank you so much for explaining the steps so clearly. Your tutorials were recommended by Judy on the you tube channel Witchpeace Craft. I've started your shorty socks which is my second ever attempt at socks. Going well so far.

I just completed this section. Having these videos is a godsend for me. Thank you so much for the ton of work you did to produce them. I’ve never figured out a heel, turn and gusset just using written books or other videos. I’ve tried. Afterthought or short row heels were much easier (using your videos of course) but they just don’t fit my foot as well.
