When you are learning you don't care how slow or boring it is because we want to see every single step. Most people go wayyyy too fast!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us. You explained this very well and I could see everything!!

Excellent video. So well done. You could never be boring! Thank you.

This was perfect first time I have ever added a afterthought heel, I love it!!! Thank you

I just had to tell you that this was not BORING it was soothing and rhythmic watching someone else knitting.

11 years later and your video was anything but boring!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Videos like yours helps keep the art alive and well!! 💓

Finally some one tells how to find WHERE to place the heel - others are pre-determined heels - not truly 'afterthought'. Thank you so much!

Not boring at all! I need to see from start to finish so it’s perfect! 👍🏻 ❤

It is not boring but very detailed and informative. I loved it so please keep them coming.

It is not a boring video, it is a tutorial video and I appreciate it and really enjoyed it. Loved it😘🇨🇴

If anyone was here to see the horror on my face when you said you were going to cut the knitting they'd have called an ambulance! LOL! I'm pulled myself together, though, caught my breath and am amazed. I'm combining my Addi Express tube knit sock technique with an After Thought Heel, so HUGE thanks for your patience in sharing this. And you're an absolute delight - not the least bit "boring".

Thank you for the math. And for a short, not too rambling video. And for showing a true after thought heel. Took my 6 video clicks to find what I was looking for.

Thank you for making this video.. I'm anxious to try the "leave two unpicked at the end" method" and this is by far the best video than demonstrates it. You're very kind to take the time to share with us.

I thought this was a VERY helpful video. You made several comments about the quality but it made good sense and was super clear to me. Thank you!

This is the best after thought heel video I’ve every seen:)❤️❤️

Thank you, this was really a good tutorial. It wasn't boring at all.

This is a great video, it's easy to see what you are doing. And you describe things very well

Thank you so much for doing this video it’s not crappy at all especially for those of us who have never done the afterthought heel! Christina

Not boring, goes at a pace easy to follow.

This was a great video. I believe I ready to do the after thought heel. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. I've watched many podcasts where the knitter talks about "cutting in the heel" on a tube of knitting, but I never saw any waste yarn. Your demo really helped me wrap my head around the concept. Your video was really clear to understand and follow. Again, thank you so much.

just want to say it is so nice to have people in this world that will share what they know. By going slow you really helped me and I love the way you knit. Thanks again it is like having someone sit next to you to help. Can't get that from a book. I have just started knitting 2 years ago and it has been watching videos like yours that help.

Excellent video. Been holding off on finishing an afterthought heel but this video makes it look so much easier. Thank you so much.

Your video is the BEST and CLEAREST that I’ve seen about the afterthought heel!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Your socks are beautiful!!!! You are so funny!!🤣

not boring because it is band new to me and I needed to see it all. thank you for doing this video!

It's not boring. It's great and I have to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you so much!

Not boring at all! I’m watching like a hawk 😁

Your tutorial is great! I could listen to your accent all day, too. The instructions were clear and gave me confidence to cut my knitting...no fear!

Not a crappy video at all. Tracie of the Grocery Girls Podcast said this was the best tutorial. It is very helpful. It gives my more confidence to give it a try. Thanks for including the heel placement information as well.

Great Video!!! Not boring at all! I'm also a newbie, loved all the details. I will definitely be watching this video again and again. Thanks for sharing.

I am a new sock knitter and trying a new heel. I watch The Grocery Girls and heard about your video! Thanks for showing all the steps for this new knitter!! I am going to try this! I am at the heel part of my Smooth Operator socks and wasn't sure if I should keep knitting until I finished and then added the heel, but watching your video showed me I can do that!! Your video was great! Very clear and I LOVE how close up you get!

Jodi at the grocery girls said this was the best afterthought heel video, so here I am!

Your video is not boring at all!! This is a new method for me so it was perfect!! Some videos go too fast and you have to keep going back to see what they did!!! Perfect!!!

Thanks for such an informative video...love watching other knitters knit

This was SO HELPFUL, thanks a million!

I really want you to post more videos on sock knitting. This was very informative.

Thank you, this will make my heels not so bulky, nor "holey". great video

Really enjoyed your video, glad you were going slow it helped me understand it. Thank you again!!

Thank you so much for doing this video! It is awesome and I learned a lot. You are a very good teacher too.

Good video, you don't give yourself enough credit. I would have liked to seen you knitting both sides, not just the first side. Good colors and camera and up close to show the details. Thank you.

Don’t apologize for your video. It was very well done and I will be trying an afterthought heel on my next pair of self-striping socks.

I’m also here as a recommendation from Jodi at Grocery Girls. Thank you for the video. I’ve heard so much about “cut in heels” and now I get it. Good job on the video.

many many many thanks to you! just finished my first afterthought heel sock pair with your clear, well-paced instructions!

You are hilarious! I will watch your knitting videos anytime! Thanks!!

Great tutorials. I’ve heard your name come up many times on other podcast. Thanks so much

Thank you for this video - very well done. Beautiful pair of socks, too.

Like the way you roll! LOL This is the first afterthought vid I have watched. I have heard and wondered what afterthought knitting was and now I know. You really did a great job of explaining your process. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching. This really helps me and encourages me to be brave and try it on my second pair of socks.

This may be your first video, but I think you did a fine job! I especially like that the viewer can *really see* what you're doing here. Lovely!

Wonderful (not boring) video! I'm ready to try it!

Thank you, very helpful tutorial ❤️🇦🇺

Excellent tutorial, not boring at all! Thanks so much

Nothing boring about it and very helpful! Thank you!

This video finally taught me how to knit the heels on my socks! Thank you!

As a Woman who is Very self-conscious of her hands (I have Muscular Dystrophy and is makes my hand movements rather stiff and spastic) I have to say your hand movements are quite beautiful and flowing when you knit. You should be proud of showing your "knitters hands". I would be! it is not boring at all to watch you knit. It's beautiful.

I recommend this video to groups and it’s how I learned, thanks for this and it always makes me chuckle when you cut the stitch 😀

You are truly amazing. My heart was in my mouth when you were going to cut that stitch. Then I watched with my mouth open while you created a heel. #admiration #artist

Excellent video. Appreciate all the detail. I think this technique will work perfectly for a sweater I need to fix. I made a beautiful crew-neck sweater but didn't think to add short-row shaping to the neck so the back of the neck would come up higher than the front. I'll have to think about this some more and make sure I understand which way the shaping goes. Unlike with a sock heel, I'll probably have to close the opening with a kitchener stitch. My best bet will be to practice on a swatch.

Love this method. I have yet to do an afterthought heel. So I'm doing my research. I appreciate you using the light box, great idea , easy to see what you were doing.

This is brilliant! Can’t wait to try it, thank you for sharing the tutorial

Great video! Thanks! Not boring at all.

genius indeed! Thanks for this, I will be using on my next pair of socks, ones I am starting right now. Never had the guts to try an afterthought heel, but can't wait to try now. Thank you for this great video.

This was a terrific video! I'm so glad you did it mostly in real time. Since I'm just teaching myself to knit, it gave me a good gauge for speed! Thank you! I'm so going to try this type of heel.

I love your accent. I am from North Carolina, and I felt like I was home again. Great video, very helpful and entertaining!

Excellent video!! Thank you!!😊

A very good video, not crappy at all! Very helpful for those of us just learning how to knit heels of all kinds!!

Oooohhhh, I loved your video. So clear. You are a natural teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us. Yep, I love the accent too.👍🏻

Thank you very much! I was struggling with what measurement to use to for the ATH (where to place it) A very good video. You have a nice fluid way of moving your fingers when you knit. You rock

Very informative video not boring at all! Thank You!

Thank you! I never knew you could do it this way. I'm fairly new to knitting, and this video was super helpful.

Just doing my first afterthought heal and saw a reference to your video from Treehouse Knits. How timely for me! Thanks so much for sharing this knitting pearl of wisdom! The sock population of the world will definitely increase (at least in my world). Thanks again!

Great video! very clear and I liked that it was slow and very close up. The tip on leaving 2 stitches on each side and not pulling the yarn out was fantastic! Thank you. It was not boring at all!

I was looking for tips to do an afterthought heel, since I've never done one where I cut it in, and EVERYONE recommended your video! Thanks so much for a great tutorial, and I love your personality thrown in!

Thank you for posting this great video. So helpful!!!

Great video...thank you for doing it. I'm fairly new to sock knitting and I hated using waste yarn, excited to try this way.

Crazy Sock Lady sent me to see where she learned to do this :) Your explanation was very easy to understand and see. Thank you so much I get how to do this now. Liked and subscribed! ^_^

Just making my first cut now - thanks for this clear & helpful video.

Thank you for a great tutorial. It was not boring at all.

Just LOVE this video!

Clear instructions, thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video! I enjoyed it very much!

A very informative video for sock knitting. Thank you.

I watch tons of knitting videos and many of them have to do with the many and varied ways to knit heels. This one is my favorite and the one I'm going to use on my next pair of striped socks. Thank you, thank you. BTW - watching your video and listening to you is just plain fun. :)

oh thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I found your through the Grocery Girls pod cast. I blinking hate gussets in sock knitting, and I cant wait to give this a try. My husband has also learned how to knit since he retired, and the heel is his tough spot as well. This helps a LOT. You Rock!!!!

You make a fine video. It has been helpful.

Thank you! Your video has been very helpful!

Thanks I was getting frustrated watching heel y-tube will try this❤

Thank you for this video I think it was very helpful! I am going to use this method on my current WIP!!

lots of good info in the video! when I master my gauge I am going to try this method! thanks for sharing:)

I appreciate this video and look forward to trying it!

I, too, was sent by the Grocery Girls. Well worth it! I have just completed my second pair of socks and wanted to try an after thought heel. You have given me the confidence to do it. Thank you!!

your video was so helpful! i enjoyed yours very much. thank you.

Nice, Thanks for shearing 👍 👍

I watch Arne & Carlos and they showed doing a heel similar, but they used waste yarn, but they never actually showed how to knit that on because they only knitted the waste yarn on the half of the sock that has the heel, so I can only assume he switched to the waste yarn, then because he was using DPN's, he turned his work back to the regular sock yarn and knitted over the waste yarn. I have no idea since I can't find the video showing how he added that. But I kind of like the way you did it because you didn't pull out 2 stitches on either end which prevented holes. I am definitely going to try this with my socks from now on, so thank you. And don't say your video is boring, it wasn't boring. It was very informative.

Thank you for this tutorial ... it was AWESOME!! I prefer to knit cuff down and am always worried about running out of yarn if I make the leg too long. Now I can split the skein in two, cast on the cuff and knit until I run out of yarn! Add a contrasting toe and heel (I don't like contrasting cuffs for some reason) and all will be right in my world. Thanks for expanding my sock addiction. :)

I think your awesome 😁😆👍🙂☺️😊❤️💕💜💞 Thank You For This tutorial!! It was truly helpful!! I enjoy watching it,.... I just found your channel and subscribe.... Happy Knitting... 😁❤️💕

K3N Clothtales recommended your videos and I am gonna be honest, I was a little floored when you started talking and you have the same accent as me lol I think you’re the first fiber artist/creator with a southern accent I’ve seen on KZfaq. Subscribed and liked, as you came highly recommended and your video is great.

It's absolutely not boring. I've never seen an Afterthought Heel before. I'm a fairly new knitter. I've never used needles smaller than a US 4. I'm amazed at the tiny needles you use.

I loved this video! It worked perfectly for me. And it wasn't a crappy video...enjoyed it.

Not boring at all. In fact extremely well done and clear.

This is so great! Thank you!!

Awesome video. The suburban stitcher mentioned you in her sock instructions. Thanks and I will try your method next. Thanks again and you did a great video.
