I just finished the heel on my first argyle sock. I started working the last diamond, but the heel is bothering me. The short rows are not as invisible as they should be, not to mention the little holes. So I went back and looked at the tutorial again. This will probably the the 5th time I’ve checked since I finished the heel.
I now see what I did wrong. I picked up the wrap incorrectly on the knit side. I also wrapped backwards on the purl side. So that, hopefully, explains why both sides look bad.
Now I just have to convince myself to frog the darn thing and do it right.
I love the concept of a short row heel, my foot just isn’t short row friendly unfortunately. There are so many ways to do them, too, lots of variations on how to close up the holes, too. I think I’ll start doing short rows on the toes again, though.
So is the argyle the first sock you’ve done?
Hi,
I have also an issue with socks. It is something that should probably be easy but not designed for my brain. I started 3 times and it is still bad. Not motivated for 2nd foot.
