2020 July 27 - Video: Hung Hem

IMG_7841.JPG

This video is the step-by-step method of how one works a Hung Hem whether you choose to work flat or in the round.

A Hung Hem on the CSM is basically a segment of regular knitting where at some determined point, the initial first row is brought up and hung on the current active row on the machine.

When we do a Hung Hem the initial row of live stitches are taken care of, and if done completely you should not need to worry about any dropped stitches.

The topmost edge of a hung hem can have a variety of stitches worked to create an interesting edge (or to add split rings for the universal bonnet). A Hung Hem can also be MOCK RIB and even full RIBBING - although the use of the Ribber requires a few extra steps to gain access to where one hangs the stitches. This is a video with sound.

2020 July 26 - Video: How to Kitchener your Sock

IMG_7835.JPG

This video is the step-by-step method of how I close the toes of my Cuff Down Socks.

One can make closing the toe of their sock much easier, if, when the sock is on the machine, we ensure to work at least a single row of knitting before working the toe on a cuff down sock.

I recommend that in the beginning at least, try adding stitch markers after finishing your sock yarn and working two rows of scrap, to the first and last stitches of both the top and the bottom segments (four stitch markers). This prevents those crucial stitches from escaping and being overlooked. I also demonstrate how I remove the scrap from the sock although for this sock I caught the scrap yarn a bit while Kitchenering which caused the removal to be a bit more work than usual.

This is a video with sound. This video is viewable by itself or in with the recent Cuff Down Mock Rib Hung Hem Shortie Sock Video and five page written pattern I released yesterday. Looking for more info? Please see MY YOUTUBE VIDEOS
