Short Row Heel Demo - Lifestyle Toe Up Socks, No wraps!

omg this video safed my (sock) life :) thanks!

This is really helpful. Thank you.

Hi Charisa I would just like to say thanks for this vid i just love how easy you make this look. I need some advice though i keep getting a little hole when i get to the part to continue knitting on the round after the heel. please help a frustrated learner to socks :o) thanks for all the help Justine :o)

If you have a little hole on the round after all the stitches are back in work, you can eliminate it by knitting two stitches together at that point, then M1 new stitch to compensate for the stitch you just lost (if you need the extra stitch for your pattern.)

Thankyou so much! I'm a total sock noob and have been trying to work out what a short-row heal is. Ingenious! Great vid, just the right pace, and annotations for more info - exactly what was needed.

Could I use this method if I am knitting socks from the leg to the toe? Or will it only work knitting from the toe up?

This short row heel works either top down or toe up.

Holy poop, I think you've just made me the happiest sock noobie ever. <3

You're right, it is mentioned in the annotations. I was watching this at work, not giving it my full attention. Let me just say that your video is excellent--I am always awed by people who can film themselves knitting and have it come out so well. I intend to give your method a try, the next time I knit a pair of socks. Thank you, Charisa!

wow thanks!
