I have been knitting for 60 years and this is the best demonstration of heel flap knitting I have ever seen. I will no longer try to teach my Grands how to knit heels. Sending them to you. Thank you for another great video. I only wish the Red Heart Chic Wool yarns were still available.

Oh my goodness! I have never knit socks before and I’m watching all of your sock videos before I start. My biggest obstacle has been the heel. You have made it so easy to understand. Thank you!!!! I can’t wait to get started.

I'm really excited to start these socks. You're the first KZfaq instructor who has made me think that I could actually make a pair of socks. I will catch up this week as soon as I get my materieals. Thank you.

Thanks so much Marly! Just got done previewing part 3. I was a little bit nervous about the heel flap, but this seems faitly simple. You always make everything seem "doable". Love your teaching method - you're simply the best. Thanks again!

I'm half way thru the heel flap! I can't believe I have made it this far! I was terrified of using dpn's and started and stopped this project more times than I care to admit. BUT, i tried again yesterday and I'm actually doing it! Yesssssss! Thanks for the very clear instructions and explanations. I'm loving this! 😁😍

@debbieperea95 3 жыл бұрын

Ok you’re an incredible teacher. I’ve never used DPN this long. I’m actually making socks. I’ve taken your advice and I’m doing the second one at the same time👍🏻. You’re very helpful when you explain each part and extremely thorough in letting me know why we’re doing each section. Excited to finish up the heel flap then do the second sock’s heel flap 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🧦 Socks are becoming less scary 🤣🤣🤣🧶🧶🧶🧶TY🧡

I love this tutorial. I have not posted my socks because I have been a knitter for over 20 years and chose this year to learn sock making. Totally understanding the dpn use, I prefer magic loop. Because I am not conforming, I have not posited my socks. How I love them and excited to make more. I want to make 6 pair of socks for 2018. You have greatly increased that goal. Thank you.

I love the idea of having a second pair of #5 needles to do the second sock at the same time as the first. I already knitted a sock that is so comfortable and now need to do the second sock but because it was so comfortable I don't mind doing the whole sock but I will surely buy a second set of #5 dpn's. Great job. I love it.

I've started on my second pair of socks, the first was for a friend now I'm knitting one for me and my son asked for a pair. I'd really would love to be able to knit the poncho you're wearing in Part 3. My supervisor asked me to knit her a poncho, this one would be perfect.

Hello! I’m currently working on this project and I just wanted to say I love your videos!! You are amazing! Is there any chance you would be willing to make an instructional video on how to knit continental style? I’ve only been taught how to use the English style and it seems to be much more time consuming. I have tried to learn continental but I can’t figure out how to get my hands right and how to hold the yarn properly. Thank you!!

@doriseaster8043 6 жыл бұрын

also I intend to make a sweater that calls for a #3 your yarn is # 4 also it calls for US 7 (4.5) needles 32" long circular and dpns (or longer circular needle for magic loop) for body and sleeves, US 6 32" circular needle and dpns (or lonmger circular needles for magic loop) for button b ands and picking up stitches for collar and sleeves.

Your videos are AMAZING. You are a delight to watch. I love the style of heel, heel flap and gusset. I have a pattern for different size baby socks. The method is using wrap & turns. I honestly hate it and have ripped them apart dozens of times. My question is: could I replace W & T heels to this method???? And how would I go about doing it? (If it’s possible). Thank you Marly

Hello Mrs. Bird, I'm just a beginner knitter. I learn it by watching you & your mom. So I have one problem with it. The yarn keeps twisting how do I prevent from twisting yarn when I knit? I've stopped practicing because the yarn kept twisting and it got annoying. So if you could help I would appreciate it. Thank you & I really enjoy your tutorial & live ones too. HAGD. 💕

I just got some of Marly Bird yarn and my DPN's yesterday and was so excited to get going- excellent instructions by Marly Bird but I tried 3 times and my last time when I thought I had everything and was working on my second row somehow the yarn the needles everything got twisted! Going to give it another go! Maybe wind the yarn in a ball before starting I don't know!

Ok... I have a question Marly. I knit with very fine yarn/fingerling, needle 2.75mm/2us... I am doing the heel on one of my socks... I checked and over checked... everything is done exactly like it should BUT it don't do the alveoles of the eye of partridge... there is some ondulation but not more than that... the thickness is there though so... what is happening? Is it because my wool is to thin? Have any idea?

@amyahdocq8835 6 жыл бұрын

But, when I put it in front of the light, I see the little eyes... so why it is not doing the alveoles like yours? I saw too that several other knitters who put their work of your page have similar to me... you don't see the alveoles... why?

Marly the knitting -warehouse has chic sheep yarn @7.99 per skein of 186 yds.but yours is @ 9.99 not sure how many yards, but knitting -warehouse says 100% mercerized wool yours says 100% merino wool is this the same as the mercerized wool? Also Knitting-warehouse says they try to match dye lot but sometimes they can't please advise .

@kerigiddens4557 6 жыл бұрын

Its the same yarn. They are both RedHeart Chic sheep. In the listing I saw on knitting warehouse it said the fiber was 100% mercerized merino wool as does the listing on RedHeart's website. If you were to order 2 skeins of yarn and they were from different dye lots the color may not match exactly but since each skein will be used on a different sock it probably won't be noticeable.

Needle 4 and needle 1 are for the heel? I’m confused-why wouldn’t it be N1 and N2? Is there a logical reason I’m missing?

@MarlyBird Ай бұрын

The start of the round is at the middle of the heel. So when you knit in needle 1 it is the left side of the heel. You don’t get to the right side of the heel until needle 4. Hence 1 & 4 are the heel.

You said and on a right side row does that mean do not do the last purl row back? It states its a 24row pattern so if we count the first row as the one where we get the 24_stitches on one needk e as row 1 then the 4 pattern rows start but the last purl row is NOT done that end on the right side and is a 24 row section. So no last purl row back???

Yes writing on my tablet is difficult. row one purl. row 2 slip one knit one. row 3 purl. row 4 knit one slip one and repeat for 24 rows. looks like a regular heel pattern . but it is still a sock and I never thought I could make a sock and heel part was the easiest part to learn.

@kerigiddens4557 6 жыл бұрын

It sound like your slip stitches may be on top of each other. In the video she talks about making sure your slip stitches are over the prior row's knit stitches and vice versa. But like you said, it's still a sock, that's what I keep focusing on. Good Luck! :)

@ritadixon3107 6 жыл бұрын

Yes I think so, but the pattern says to start one row with a slip st. and the next with a knit st. but you cannot do that on an even number. so I figured the ss and the knit st. is the problem. Thank you for answering the question. I ready to start the gusset and heel now.
