Perfect timing! I’m going to practice my linen stitch knitting a coat for a doll! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I have to admit - after 3-4 years knitting I have been doing the ssk wrong oh goodness. How good will my socks look now? Love your help in simple uncluttered videos.
Glad you like my videos! Don't feel badly for working it "wrong" -- lots of knitters learn it one way for whatever reason and don't know that it's technically incorrect. But I hate saying it's "wrong," necessarily! There are places where you might want a twisted ssk, so you'd work it slipping them purlwise instead.
Do slip st patterns really lend stability and durability to a fabric like a slipped stitch sock heel flap? And if so why dont we make the sole of the sock and the toe with a slip stitch pattern? Those places seem to wear out a lot faster than the back of the heel even when frequently worn in shoes.
They can add durability, it depends on the specific pattern. Slipped stitch patterns tend to not curl like stockinette, but again it can depend on the specific pattern.
You could totally do the sole of a sock in heel stitch (or eye of partridge), just keep in mind that it will be a different gauge than the top of the foot - this is likely the biggest reason they aren't typically used in these other areas. It works to advantage to have a tighter gauge at the back of the heel, but can be a problem elsewhere. It can be hard to work a heel stitch in pattern with shaping, so that's why it isn't often seen on toes (in addition to the gauge difference.)
@@HeatherStorta thanks i will have to experiment. I understand the gauge gets compressed
Plz give tutorials of pattern shown in this video
Which one -- the linen stitch or the pink/green one?
@@HeatherStorta pink green one, 😊
I can do that! (That's a fun pattern to work.) It's called a two-color Thorn stitch if you want to look it up in the meantime.
@@HeatherStorta thankew sooo much, so nice of you, 😊
