Cat Bordhi - Part 1: wrapping & turning, concealing wraps

Learn the tricks of wrapping and turning while working a heel turn, and then concealing the wraps in a way that means they are truly and forever concealed! These are the methods used in Cat's latest sock book: NEW PATHWAYS FOR SOCK KNITTERS, Her first sock book, which started the entire 2-circular needle knitting craze in 2001, is SOCKS SOAR ON TWO CIRCULAR NEEDLES.

Thanks for the explanation, I have been having trouble with my wraps looking bad. One question - why do you wrap the last (unwrapped) stitch on the row together with the last wrapped stitch, at the very end?

Again, Cat, please create a clearer video. The technique is so good, but I know that I get very distracted by squinting and trying to see what you are doing. I don't think I am alone here, and apparently you delete these kinds of comments eventually.

Cat I can not find a video anywhere for the purpose I am trying to do. I am trying to knit a hat in the round with some writing of a second color in the front of the hat so at the end of each round I have to do the wrap and turn or the picking up of the wraps. It is driving me nuts that i can't find a video anywhere. Some video's never show you to pick up the wraps. None show there being a stitch maker for the beginning of the round and where to slip it also. I have huge holes. HELP... please

I just wanted to say I love your videos and the way you describe things! I like how you focus more on describing the motions rather than focusing on "left and right" needles and such. Makes is much easier for lefty's to follow your directions.

My friend and I are knitting a scarf pattern for a “Molly Scarf”, a pattern by Susan Mills.

This pattern begins by being knit in a stockinette stitch with a wrap and turn. We have been able to do the wrap & turn successfully by following your utube instructions for sock knitting. Your wrap and turn Video 1. (conti)
