I've heard that for socks that you actually wear, afterthought heels are a "love 'em" or "hate 'em" kind of thing.

That way the strands are stretched the long way around the outside, rather than taking a short cut across the inside. You are still knitting with the right side facing you, so you can see what you are doing, it's just the side you are not working on is between you and the side you are working on, if you see what I mean.Stitched Togetherhttp://www.stitchedtogether.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655647507639114810.post-29036564136407062832012-12-05T10:50:19.101+00:002012-12-05T10:50:19.101+00:00You know, I do consider myself a sock knitter but ...You know, I do consider myself a sock knitter but I have never done an afterthought heel, they look terrifying ;) <br />The stocking is looking amazing :)pinkundinehttp://twitter.com/pinkundinenoreply@blogger.com
