Sock Heel Update

February 4th, 2007

I just feel the need to share my joy; I found a better heel method!

The pattern was found here, and I’m completely done the sock working towards the ribbed cuff. I tried it on my husband’s foot when I was mostly done the heel, and it fit beautifully. No super stretching around the base of the heel, a nice comfy looking fit around the curves, and overal happy-heel-goodness.

The photo is sort of a quick shot that’s kind of crappy and blurry, but I think you can get the idea.

I found the instructions to be a bit difficult to follow, but I eventually figured it out. I plan to re-write them to be a bit more readable, and more easy to figure out what numbers to use for varying stitch counts. The funny thing about the heel I chose is that it actually does use short row shaping, just not exclusively.
