One thing I really appreciate about your beginner tutorials is that you don’t just teach the pattern itself, but also skills that can be applied to any pattern, especially when it comes to adjusting patterns to your own measurements

I love that too! I am way too much of a beginner to add in all the math, so I probably will just follow a pattern as-is a few times just to get a feel for the process, but when I’m ready to level up to a higher quality sock that fits better, I know exactly where to go to learn to do that! I love his teaching style so much.

I'm really struggling. I can't make the two legs of the stitch appear when I pull down to make the double stitch. I've tried and tried ... I don't know what I'm doing wrong. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I am new to knitting and no matter how many tutorials I watch, I always come back to yours. They are by far the most detailed ones. I especially appreciate that you explain WHY you do the things you do, it makes it so much easier for me to understand how knitting actually works. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your tutorials.

Socks,,especially toe up,,are one of my favorite things to knit~I was just thinking last night that I haven't made any in awhile~!! I'm now teaching my 9 year old grand daughter how to knit,and she's learning SO FAST~!! Her mother,,my daughter, also knits,in fact,she got me into it. Turns out,it's WONDERFUL for people with ADHD,,I find I stay focused for hours,knit EVERY day for 4 years now,and haven't gotten bored or lost interest. My daughter and grand daughter also have ADHD(surprise,surprise,,it runs in families!!) and knitting works better than any medication,,which none of us take. So,there may be 3 generations of Clarke women who have short attention spans,,but we're also 3 generations of knitters~!!🧡🧶🥢 I Love it~!!😄

So many little tips and tricks! Thank you!

This is a wonderful tutorial! I'm only 20 minutes in, and I've learned two new skills. I've made 3.5 socks so far, and I don't especially like the "squared pointy" toe box that you get from increasing every other row from the start. Your technique of increasing every row until you've doubled your starting stitch count makes a much nicer toe box. Weaving in the new color is a great technique as well. Thank you SO much for all your videos!
