I’m almost at the end of my very first sock!!! thanks so much for your help
Thank you so very much! The last time I tried to graft the toe of a sock using written directions, it turned out very badly. This sock looks beautiful, thanks to your video!
I’m so glad when I get a note like yours. Great that it worked out so well. Please keep watching. Thanks.
I love the Flintstone reference. We’ve come a long way!
glad I could help.
THANKS SO MUCH for this great tutorial!!! I had two sides of a scarf to graft and it turned out PERFECT. I did a practice piece first, to make sure I had it correctly, but now I think the directions were so clear, I probably would have had success immediately!
You demonstrate and explain so well. My only experience with knitting was watching Wilma from The Flintstones “Knit one, Pearl two” (using two bones instead of knitting needles), and the wool yarn was being drawn directly off the coat of a live sheep standing in her living room!
Many thanks.
yes, that;s my motto. the more you do something the easier it gets…..at least for me.
Thank you again for another great video. I have always had trouble with this stitch. your instructions were great as usual. I finished off the mittens for my grandson and it looks good. Practice will make perfect.

Thanks! My scarf turned out great.
Now I’m making a narrower version of the scarf pattern for myself.
Do the same thing. There will be more stitches. I did it on my multi stitch baby blanket video.
So. I found a pattern on KnitPicks for a scarf (the Seaman’s Scarf) that you knit the two halves, then graft them together using Kitchener stitch.
Would I have to do anything differently, since I would have yarn coming off of both needles, because I”m essentially grafting together two separate projects instead of closing a tube?
it should go pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
OMG! this is going to take some practice. I dropped a stitch but ‘ll darn some thread in to make it look like the pattern.
This video is SO helpful. I have it bookmarked for every time I’m finishing another sock. Thank you so much!
*Noe* I understand what I’m supposed to be doing with this technique! Thank you!!!!
Can’t thank you enough for teaching me the kitchener’s stitch. What a wonderful teacher you are..thanks so much.

Happy knitting!
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but congratulations on finishing the socks! Please keep watching for more videos. I put a new one up yesterday.
Thanks for the nice comment.
are both right sides together before you begin?
If not for you and this video, I would not have finished my first sock. Thank you so much for taking it slow, speaking clearly, and getting VERY close up. Made all the difference in the world. Superb!
