I thought you had to make the tube and the heel together. So you just are basically making a separate thing right?

do you stitch 11 rows to get your yarn to the end of your 21-stitch series on the main needle? my yarn is coming from the center of my 21 stitches. please help me out! thank you!

I love these video's, thank you SO much for being prepared. You have no idea how nice it is to have someone speak like a normal human being instead of like Sonic the Hedgehog!

Dorret-Please tell me you know how to do half finger gloves! You are the only one on You tube that anyone can understand! Do you have any 'you-tube' videos on half finger gloves. You saved my sanity for knitting socks. Thank you

How do you know how many rows to make the heel piece? I don't want to accidentally make too many or too little...

thanks for the vid

How long should the heel part be before we "turn" it?
This is helpful, but I don't understand what you mean about "have your centre stitch as the middle stitch on the needle with half the stitches."
Do you mean the piece of thread hanging off the end from the beginning? Because if that is in the middle than the string connected to the yarn ball won't be accessible. I taught myself to stitch and so don't know any of the terms.

Hi
You need to study the very first video - you may not have created the centre stitch. If you hav,e it should be self explanatory - when you share out the stitches, make sure the guide stitch ends up in the centre on the needle.
Hope that helps.

I design my own patterns. The yellow sock is just an invetned number of stitches to get across the principles. The aim of the tutoiral was to show how you can control and understand the development of the individual parts of the sock and see actually how stragiht forward it is.
I hope that it gives you a soild foundation first to follow a pattern successfully and then the confidence to adapt or patterns or design your own socks.
