Short Row Heel with YOs, Part 1

MtMom demonstrates how to turn the heel of a hand-knit sock with Priscilla Gibson-Roberts' short row technique, using YOs instead of wraps or pins.
Part 1 shows how to begin working back and forth, and continues up to the shift from shrinking to expanding the rows.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I was knitting baby socks that used this technique for the heels and I couldn't figure out what they wanted from me. Your video really helped me out.

Thanks so much for this video. I couldn't figure this out from the instructions in her book. A picture is worth a thousand words!!

Thank you!!! Your instructions were super easy to follow and the filming was PERFECT!!! I just turned a heel in my first pair of socks!! You ROCK!!

Part 1 I could understand and it turned out quite nicely! Although the heel has turned out on the side of the sock! So I obviously did something wrong! But thank you I enjoyed trying it. I won't mention parts 2 & 3 :-(

Thanks so much for demonstrating this method. I've read the instructions, but knew I would need help to do it right. You've made it very clear.
