In December of 2006, a blogger known as Fleegle changed the knitting world when she published a no-holes toe-up heel formula on her blog. Since I discovered the Fleegle Heel, I’ve been making videos showing how to do it, writing patterns that use it, and helping the whole world learn to knit it.

    I have never knitted socks and have a little experience with magic loop so watching the video would really help. Is the video really 17.99 or did I look at it wrong? That is way too much to pay.

    1. Hi Donna,
      The Toe-Up Socks on Magic Loop is an entire step-by-step video class, with 19 videos included. Compared to Craftsy or in-person classes at your local yarn store, this is a very economical choice. If you would like to take a full sock-knitting class, I recommend ours as a wonderful online option. Thousands of students have learned to knit socks after going through the class. I hope this helps! -Liat
