I use those exact stitch markers to keep track of my rows. So handy!

Amazing sock tutorial ! I have watched sooo many tutorials, and for some reason stumbled with the cast-on time after time. I persevered though, and interestingly enough came full circle back to your 3 part tutorial, and am delighted to report that yours has finally “clicked” with me. I have never knitted in the round before, and I’m pretty sure you would have had a friendly chuckle at the many blunders I’ve made along the way 😂 I’m now happily bubbling along with my first sock and am almost up to the heel. So, I wanted to express my gratitude for making these tutorials. Your voice and delivery is calm and soothing. Many thanks from Australia 🇦🇺😀

Hoping to learn enough to make my first pair. Thanks for the tutorial. I subscribed.

Ohhhh that’s WHY it’s called an “afterthought heel.”

Hi Natalie, thank you so much, I can get back to my socks that use an after thought heel, they have been waiting for a least two years, now I can finish them.

THis series is incredibly helpful! Thank you. I'm casting on my FIRST pair and after watching this far, I'm surprised I've been so intimidated to knit socks. YAY!

Thank you for making this so easy. You gave me the courage to finally try knitting socks with an after thought heel. You said to knit the foot portion 2 inches shorter than you need. So let's say my foot length from heel to toe is 6 inches. I would knit 4 inches from the waste yarn point forward, and then knit my toe and kitchener the ends. And then go back and remove the waste yarn and knit in the after thought heel. Is that correct? You made the process easy. I'm just getting hung up on how to calculate where to put what in. Thanks!
