Thanks for this video I have been looking for a pattern to make socks on a flat bed knitting machine. I will give this a try. What size did you make? Thanks

@crochethabit The sock I made was 8" circumference. I previously did a tension square to determine my guage for that yarn, which was 8 stitches per inch. So I cast on 64 stitches and went from there.

What game is the boyfriend playing?

google "knittinganyway" Cady has pattern books for sale that teach you to do just this.

this is fantastic! I have never done socks on the knitting machine. I would like to try sometime because your video makes it easy to understand the mechanics of it better than other videos I've viewed (I would need a pattern too).

I do have a question regarding latching up the side seam.... how stretchy is it?

THANKS VERY MUCH,

I HAD KNIT SOME VERY NICE SOCKS,

EASY WAY,

SO I WONDER IF YOU HAVE MORE IDEAS TO KNIT IN YOUR BROTHER BOOK,

THANKS SO MUCH!

This is a great little video, but the background noise makes it hard to concentrate on what you're doing. Still, thanks a lot for posting it. Glad to see you had all necessary parties in position.

Great clip, thanks. I have found ebeginnersknitting (.) com to be very helpful also

I wish he would have done a close up of your cast on, I realize its a latch tool cast on but I've never seen it done on top of the needles, very interesting. I also liked the way you latched up the side seam, I've never seen that done either in my 8 years of machine knitting, very cool.

Great video, cute socks! Great job for your first pair!
