(I know it sounds a little geeky - but it's true! you have knitted so well :D )<br />Isn't it interesting to have the garter edge and it looks like there are two darts at the heel? <br />Interesting!<br />I do like the short-row heel turn but they are not as strong as he re-inforced heel (I think this method can only be knitted top-down whereas the short-row heel turn can be used for both top down or bottom up). <br />x<br />KyokoKyokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289005841209205003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-71754092362703492692010-10-11T03:21:25.835+01:002010-10-11T03:21:25.835+01:00those socks are beautiful,Sarah~I just love them!those socks are beautiful,Sarah~I just love them!t does woolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311526491741344979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-46565894545928538032010-10-10T02:36:31.971+01:002010-10-10T02:36:31.971+01:00I have to say, I'm a top down girl all the way...I have to say, I'm a top down girl all the way.

I do love the perfection of a toe made with Judy's Magic Cast On, but I'd rather make foot length adjustments on a cuff-down sock than after I've made the heel on a toe-up one! <br /><br />I've put afterthought heels in cuff down socks; I just do them before I finish the toe so I'm sure of how long the foot is.pdxknitterati/MicheleLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164265671528808629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-61979882591968655152010-10-04T19:22:14.272+01:002010-10-04T19:22:14.272+01:00I'm with you on the top down socks, although t...I'm with you on the top down socks, although this heel is intriguing.

There is a limit to how much fuss I want to put into a sock.

It's what I learnt first too, and therefore probably why I feel more comfortable with that construction. I do feel like I need to expand my repertoire though!behind the ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895765547538722429noreply@blogger.com
