what happens between 4:17 and 4:20? Thanks.

@bbb360d It looks like Kelley worked her stitches to the end of the row, just before starting the decreases.

Thank you so much for your sock tutorials! They are great!!! They are really helping me get through my first sock pattern. I'm just wondering, if you don't worry about how many stitches you pick up, will your pair of socks come out even???

Thanks!

@annemira3 The slip stitches you do on your heel flap should make it pretty easy to pick up your stitches. Also, the number of slipped stitches to pick up should be the same on both sides, so it should come out even. I think if you have one or two different, it won't be too big of a deal, you will just have a different number of stitches for the top of your foot vs the stitch count for the bottom half. This could mean ending up with a sock that fits tighter or looser around the foot than leg.

your series of sock videos are excellent - You are a delightful instructor ~ you have a very calming voice as well as very clear and easy to follow instructions and pictures - I love the magic loop way of sock knittiing - it's so much easier for me than dpns :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

numbers are not easy for me either, but I understood perfectly :)

I am knitting my first sock with your videos to help me through the tough parts.

My son has size 15 EEE feet and I am trying to learn to knit socks to fit his foot.

The needles you recommend are wonderful! I love them!

Thank you for sharing your instructions

Thank you SO much Kelley! I was about to give up on the entire sock knitting business before I found your videos. I attempted several socks and kept getting confused on picking up the gusset stitches. What really helped was the fact that you say not to worry about the number that is knit up the sides because we'll be decreasing to the number that we need. That is GREAT!!! Quite liberating I must say. Thanks again!

Thank you very much for creating these tutorials! I'm very impressed. Especially because you can knit and talk at the same time. ;-)
