I am sure this German Short Rows technique is good. However the Lady in the Video didn't pause for a minute. She kept going and talking and talking.. So this isn't going to be help.

These videos are part of a column on German Short Rows, which appeared in This Week in Ravelry. The article contains a written explanation of short rows, compares this technique to the wrap and turn method, and has many up close photographs. You can find that column on Ravelry.

@TeenYarnie Sure, you can. Typically, the first half of a short row heel is worked using this technique, then a couple of rounds are worked, and then the second half of the heel is worked. The Germans call this a "Jo Jo" (yo-yo) heel.
The variegated yarn is a (unfortunately) discontinued Plymouth Galway Paint colorway. I really liked using it for teaching purposes. I wish I could still get it!
Thank you for finally putting a name to this technique, and doing such a nice clear video. I've been using this same technique for about 2 years now, learned it from Ruth Kindla's book, and hadn't seen it anywhere else. I'm glad it's finally coming to youtube. I love shortrows because of this technique!

Amazing! I just learned W&T and this looks much easier. Now if I can only "wrap" my brain around it......;^)
