I fought a mini-war yesterday.
It was a two-day battle that left me a bit bruised and very frustrated.
Oh sure, my strategy was sound.
But, time and time again, I was forced to retreat and reassess the situation.
I performed many reconnaissance trips to learn more about the enemy.
And still, it continued to evade me, nearly causing me to give up in despair.
I went to bed discouraged but determined to begin the battle anew with the dawn of another day.
And battle we did.
The enemy did not know that I had pieced together a better plan.
And then I gave it the one-two punch, holding my breath until I could safely declare victory.
The result? Well, I had to take more than one picture because I was so proud of myself…
Yeah, yeah, I can hear you. What’s the big deal? It’s a sock.
People…
I
Made
Short Row Heels
Without
Holes!
I used the instructions from this page and then the instructions from this page, double wrapped the stitch after the step in the second link where you knit or purl together the wraps with their original stitches, and then…
NO HOLES!
Mission Accomplished!

Very pretty yarn. Please share what it might be. Thanks
ohhhh – I’m so proud of you…. that looks fantastic!!!!
Woo! Don’t you love short row shaping? It’s great for the generic toe-up sock pattern…short row toe and heel… how could one go wrong? Great job! 😀
YAY! I’m learning how to knit socks right now and made one cuff-down and my second practice pair is a toe-up with short row heel. I need more practice with the SRH, I didn’t anticipate it being shorter and should have knit my foot a little longer before starting the SRH.
Niiiice!
[…] for Magic Loop. It has a short-row heel. You probably remember my victory over that battle in this […]
