Part of my slow-motion series for very visual learners, slo-mo GSR.
German Short Rows are a way to add shaping to knitting, and are often used in sock heels and toes. Many of my sock patterns use this technique.
You can see my other slow-motion videos in this playlist.
You can see my “regular speed” GSR video here.
Congrats to Brenda L, Linda A, Maureen C, Laurie B!

Something I forgot to say about negative ease and socks! Knitting socks too short will result in socks that wear out faster in the toe and heel, because of the pressure put on those spots. Be sure to invest in patterns that tell you when to start the toe/heel based on your foot size, so there is no guess work.
