Kitchener the two ends together and arrange the live stitches on your circulars. You then have your live stitches in both directions ready to knit smoothly.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9836580.post-50357713283103856922010-01-14T15:02:16.067-05:002010-01-14T15:02:16.067-05:00I have the hat heel pattern on my desk right now, ...I have the hat heel pattern on my desk right now, and I've been mulling the construction but coming to no firm conclusion.

The creative thinking for this heel has a great deal of merit to it and I expect that it will inspire your next great pattern.

Thank you for the confirmation that this isn't the best most perfect sock construction ever. I looked at it and had the same issues just looking at the pattern.<br /><br />Incidentally, this is also (one of the reasons) why I don't like the normal flap and gusset heel, as my feet are a little more sensitive than others' and the one and only pair I made with the flap/gusset (which I did because of the patterning) I actually hate wearing because the picked up stitches rub so weirdly against my foot.<br /><br />I may look at Cat's new book if there's anything that's not a modified flap and gusset (which her first book was). That heel never looks good to me, and it doesn't fit me quite right. (I bought the first book, worked all of the sample socks, cried, and sold it to someone else in my knit group.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
