Cat Bordhi - Part 2: wrapping & turning, concealing wraps

Two more questions:
The short row heel patterns I have seen recommend wraping even the last stitch, but you intentionally leave the last stitch unwrapped. Can you comment on the difference this makes?

Do you have a preferred point to bring the stitch count back to it's full compliment, since knitting the last (never wrapped) stitch together with the last wrapped stitch leaves you with 2 fewer stitches at the end of the heel turn (or short row heel?) than you started with.

I so appreciate your generosity to take the time to make videos to teach techniques so clearly.

Three questions:
For a short row heel where the stitches are added back in one-at-a-time and the stitches after the first concealed wrap are wrapped twice, do you do anything different? Can you pull both wraps over the stitch in one move, or do they need to be moved in two steps? If so, which order should they sit on the needle?

Thank you for this method it rocks! I don't knit socks but I knit longies and this is by far the best method I've tried. However, I do still have one problem and I'm wondering if you can help. When I hide the second last wrap, the pattern wants me to keeping going, instead of turning. So my last wrap (the purl wrap), I come to it on the other side. I cannot figure out how to pick up this wrap from the other side without it becoming a mess. Is there a technique for this?

It sounds like you are doing short rows under different circumstances and without seeing what you are up to I cannot give you a good answer, alas.

Your video demonstrations are priceless! Sometimes I shake my head at your corny stories (HA! Reminds me of how I make little stories about things to help myself remember--my kids just look at ME and shake their heads! LOL). I love it! The wrap & turn series has been a lifesaver. And that yarn you are using--what is it? GORGEOUS!!!!

The yarn I am using is discontinued, but I have worked with Lorna's Laces to create a similar yarn, which we've named Cat's Ahah! yarn, because it makes it really easy to se what you are doing and to investigate new knitting techniques.

I absolutely adore the stories to help us remember what we're doing. The ladies with their necklaces and hairdos is priceless. Not as much as the technique! Nonetheless. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Thank you so much - I had a sock I had almost given up on with traveling with it this weekend. The book I got the pattern from did not explain the technique other than about 2 lines. very frustrating. I think I got it now! I started learning to knit a sock with your "socks soar on circular needles" and I keep going back to that as my guide....

THANX SOOOOO MUCH!

No matter how you knit, you can do short rows this way. Just give it a try.
