After reading your tutorial, I'm going to happily go back to the Afterthought Heel which I have done before. I thought "I SHOULD learn another way to do a heel, the afterthought is just too easy". NO WAY! You helped me realize that it is just one of the ways - not judged less than other heels - and I can do the afterthought without guilt.

I suppose it wouldn't be that much worse off...it really is dependent on how tight you knit and with what yarn you use. Yarn can wear differently depending on fiber blend.<br /><br />As for the color question, I'm not sure if you requested that I knit up another example in a different color (which I can't right now since my life is tied up from my twin babies) or if you can use different colored waste yarn (which of course is a yes).Knitting Up A Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196665402800400810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38745160.post-43357382619513594562011-02-19T13:03:17.146-06:002011-02-19T13:03:17.146-06:00So could you do this with another color? does the...So could you do this with another color? does the heel "wear out" since there is not the traditional K1sl back?birdwatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084691903524005577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38745160.post-22633051383072675942011-01-18T01:22:35.167-06:002011-01-18T01:22:35.167-06:00Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Can this method be adapted to Magic Loop or 2 circs? Could you perhaps do a tutorial with that method? To just "think it through in my head" is 'way beyond my sock knitting expertise. If it would be too much trouble that's ok. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Any chance you'd consider doing this tutorial for either Magic Loop or 2 circs? I, and I'm sure many others would very much appreciate it. You do such a nice job of explaining each step so clearly.
