Yet Again, Rip ...

by The Spinning Guy

Three rows of heel. Knit, purl, knit.

Count stitches.

Somehow, in three rows of short-row heel, I have dropped a stitch. Actually, I haven’t dropped the stitch. I’ve misplaced it. I’m short a stitch on the short-row heel section and long a stitch in the part of the sock that’s not getting knit.

I never did figure out where the problem was on the first pass, but symptoms were similar. The lost stitch may have been at the first turn from knit to purl. I’m wondering if that’s where the problem is this time.

[sigh]

Lets try this heel again.

EmmyI hated short row heels. Enough that I knit my next two pairs of socks top down (I’ve only knit three pairs of socks so far). I’m planning on using one of the heel flap modifications for toe up socks on my next pair.

(probably these instructions:
