Hi, I'm new here, and I'm trying my first sock! I have got the book "Sansational Knitted Socks" by Charlene Schurch, and I'm working on her Class Sock, the sock she teaches in her beginning sock class. I got past the heel turn, and then when I got to the gusset part, I got all mixed up, and it seemed the only way to continue was to cut the yarn and start going with a new tail. Is this normal? I could not see how to keep going if I didn't cut it. This is what a friend told me to do. She has knitted a pair of socks in the past (only one pair, mind you, not SUPER experienced). The directions say nothing about cutting the yarn! I'm feeling discouraged because I don't think I'm a dumb person, and I've knit many things, including a vest, ponchos, a sweater, hats, and many scarves, of course. And I really want to learn socks, but it's just baffling to me.
