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.

@EarthtonesgirlPodcast… I’m working a size medium like you did. 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🙏🏼

Hey EarthtoneGirl (Denise) --- I Love your classes!!! My Paternal Grandpa taught me how to knit when I was 7 or 8 years old ---- He would sit in his rocking chair in front of his picture window, and I would sit on the floor next to his right side --- We would knit socks ----- I had almost forgotten about this experience until a friend of mind told me to take a look at your class!!!! 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!!!

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.

I looked at so many videos trying to figure out the decrease after the heel. I was looking for shorter videos just showing that part. I finally gave up and started watching yours. I knew how to do the sock to the point of dividing the sections to start my decrease so i fast forwarded parts. Mostly i watched parts of each step. Finally i got the part i needed. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you go step by step. You have the only video that explains thoroughly. Thank you.

Denise, thank you thank you thank you!!! I have knitted socks before, but wanted to follow tour videos in this class because there are those moments, especially in the heel/gusset where I would be like “I don’t know about this, but ok...🤷🏽‍♀️” and your details really filled in the holes (no pun intended) for me! Thanks so much, and I truly appreciate you going slow and sharing these little tips (ktbl 🤯). 💗💗💗
