    As a new knitter, working on my first scarf, I am absolutely astounded by the pace of your knitting. Bravo
  • @rehrerrobin6025
    This is the best explanation of the Judy method that I've seen!
  • @Bexsar92
    Amazing video! Thank you so much! Im trying out my first toe up socks using your videos as tutorials. So easy to understand and I can clearly see what and how you do it. Appriciate it! I Have only done cuff up before. but I don't really enjoy it, so I thought I would try toe up sick, using magic loop and see if that makes it more fun.
  • @bettye444
    Thank you so much for these instructions. I learned to do this several years ago and became very competent, but because of “things” I didn’t knit for awhile and had completely forgotten how to do the cast on.
  • You are a great teacher, do you know anyone that shows this left handed? I’m having a hard time in my brain seeing how i.t should look from a left handed prospective.
  • I Thank You So Much !! For This Tutorial!! It Has Been A Big Help.,,It's My First Time Toe - Up - Sock.... In Fact I'm Copying Off Of You., Doing A Child Sock...I Thought This Will Be Easy For Me To Follow.... I Just Finish The 48 Stitches., Now Fixing To Knit In The Round.. 😁😊👍🤗
  • @happydazzleart
    This video is just wonderful! I feel I can try them now. Thanks from Spain!
  • Wow. I’ve knitted for a while. But always have deviated from the magic loop. It was always confusing to me the way other explained it. You made it more understandable to me. And I’m gonna try the new toe you explained. Glad I found your video
  • @MayBrox

  • @bebiebua

  • My first time trying well explained ty i cant wait to continue this series... i did have a question do you have a tutorial like this for two socks at once?
  • @user-fd7bc1hb3i
    very clear instruction but can you do the same on 4 or 5 needles??
  • Just finished my first toe up socks. Wonderful easy pattern. Thank you! QUESTION- do you block the socks and do you need a sock blocker?
