She shows how to do it with DPN as well as 2 circulars and magic loop. It is the easiest heel I have ever done and there is no flat to deal with and no way it will every have holes that you have to repair.<br /><br />Love the socks. I am envious as I just don't get DPN's. I try and still go back to the magic loop method.Marshanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884416285402915069.post-70614918158143304522011-10-23T21:12:50.358-05:002011-10-23T21:12:50.358-05:00I think I'm going to do a short-row heel.

After that picture was taken, I realized I knitted once sock on a size 6 and the other on a size 5 *sigh* so I practiced the heel on the smaller of the two. I got the decreasing with wrapping down... but when I did the increase, one side was stronger than the other - IE - it was more defined than the other. Oh well - all in the name of learning, right?Crishttp://crochet-with-cris.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884416285402915069.post-47512266551156794552011-10-23T19:06:25.709-05:002011-10-23T19:06:25.709-05:00Over half way - yay you!

I think I ripped and reknit the first one at least half a dozen times. It does get easier!Minding My Own Stitcheshttp://mindingmyownstitches.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
