Marly, I never knitted a sock so I had to watch this video 4 times, once without knitting and 3 more times second portion alway wrong. I've made good use of my life line let me tell you but it paid off I have finally succeeded first portion and the second portion.... on my 4th try while keeping my 2 stitch markers in place !

Marley you picked the best music for this video I’ve learned so much from you and a few other people on this new tube area of knitting socks and I appreciate your choice of music and your articulation of how to make a sock. I did learn from another website that she was making small socksand I wished I just started out doing some thing like that with less stitches in possibly would’ve gotten further along but I still go back to yours when I want to do my German short hair at Roz and work on my heels so thank you so much. This is a great tutorial.

I've read the directions for German Short Rows before but your video was excellent and really clarified the directions. A picture is worth a thousand words. I learned the secret to no holes when rejoining the yarn to finish the top of the leg. Great idea!! Maybe a tutorial for how to make the socks smaller for those of us with very narrow feet and skinny ankles and legs. I need the length for a med foot and leg length, size 7 shoe but smaller diameter tube for foot and leg.

Marley, if you are wondering why your viewing numbers for this video have increased since December it’s because I am watching it over and over again. I have yet to master the sock, after starting and tearing out and restarting more times than I can even begin to count. I am not giving up. I wish I could sit with you one day and just get you to tell me what I am doing wrong. The videos make it look so easy.... for me it hasn’t been. I may be expecting perfection and it isn’t happening. I have gotten where I can knit in the same style as you and it feels natural, but that’s the most I can say for socks.... thank you, I will keep trying.

Marley you are very clear with your short row instructions and the heel does look so clean and neat and (hole free). I will try your instructions of the toe up sock with German short row heels. I just completed a sock (1) sock using a shadow wrap technique and it does not fit well at all, it left little wings on both sides of the heel. Now I don’t want to make the other sock because it just does’t fit well at all. What a waste of time. So I’m in a dilemma as what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I wish I knew when I started my toe up sock with new circulars that I should soak them to loosen the curl. I'm just finishing the toe and before I get to the foot I'm going to try to loosen the curl by soaking in warm water.. They've been fighting me every step of the way and it's exhausting. The good news I've mastered the cast on and the increases. So far so good.

Thank you for all your hard work and for your lovely disposition. I ALWAYS look forward to your cheerful encouragement. God bless.

Complete sock newbie here (only done a few scarves and hats so far): Is there a video that shows what to do if you drop an end stitch or two during the short rows (showing how to pick back up the double stitches correctly)? Or do you just have to rip out the work and start over again? I struggle with shaky hands at times and my stitches sometimes get bumped off the tip of the needle.
