  • I love to knit and crochet and even more so quilt. i taught myself all these arts. but socks are my nemesis. i can't conquer them. i want to learn to do them so bad before our 4 kids grow up. i just found your video and im hoping yours will be the one that i finally get that light bulb moment on.... i get as far as loading all my dpn's, but then get kinda lost. God bless and thanks for the upload even if i don't get it lol.

  • not a good video for beginners

  • This will be my first time knitting socks, so I'm happy if it's a bit loose on my feet =]

  • glad to see the english method of knitting. i started socks, but never made it to the end., i think i'll retry them. it doesn't seem so intimidating anymore.

  • @MissJayyjay it's not, it's very easy, although i prefer to magic loop method, myself.

  • @LoveAhiru I suspect this video was made under the impression that you already know how to knit. There are many beginner videos out there. To start you cast your stitches onto one needle then divide them evenly onto three of the needles and the fourth needle is what you will knit with. You knit with the fourth needle transferring the stitches from one needle to the fourth needle which frees up your fourth needle. This seemed straight forward to me.

  • OMG the way she started the stitches is totally different from how i start, but this tutorial is great considering i am left handed, so, kinda the other way round.

  • People are being really hard on you, they seem to expect you to teach them how to knit rather than how to use DPNs! Thank you so much, this was really helpful. :)

  • how much do i cast on for a teen size?

  • How the... how am i suppose to learn how to get the stitches first. seriously i can't see what she is doing and i would really like to learn is there a video i can watch to get how to actually get the stitches on???
