Katie, I have been looking for a way to finish my socks and have not had any luck. Could you post the pictures. I would love to try your technique.

Finally I have found someone else that does short row toes and heels the same as I do. I have been doing them that way for the past 53 years (I can’t believe it has been that long !! !!). I started knitting socks when I was six while walking to and from school and my mom taught me to make the toes and heels the way you show. I have NEVER understood why ANYONE would ever wrap since it is so fiddly to mess with and time consuming. I short row until I have one third of the stitches in the center then start “closing the gaps” as you put it and it makes it less pointy.

Sock on.

I’ll have to bookmark this page. I’ve been putting off learning a new method of knitting socks. Between your short rows and Roni’s socks on circulars, I’ll learn two new techniques!

Thanks kaity! This tutorial really helped me figure out the heel on socks. I was trying to help my roomie over the weekend on the heel part and neither one of us have done socks before. Glad you posted this.

Wow, even I get this. I swear I have tried almost every tutorial out there on short row heels. I had just about given up on figuring it out when you were recommended to me by Ms. Lana! What a blessing this is…I’m so using this method on my next sock (while will probably be Thursday!). Thanks so much!

[...] I had hoped to finish my sock today, but stuff got in the way. I’m going to knit on it tonight and try to get it finished. I found a killer short row tutorial (thanks Lana) over at Kaity’s. [...]
