I would really like to see a vid of this - Diana!!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't follow directions. Know I would be able to do it with a vid for support.
ALSO: As the last pic showed - it is possible to flatten the heel with weights. This makes latching up the heel flap for a workman's ribbed heel (strong and cushiony) easier to do than one would think. I used homemade mini weights at the base of each latch-up to identify where to begin and to hold the place, prior to unravelling. The mini weight is a plastic-coated paper clip (nail polished tips) attached to a $1 Store pic-nic table cloth weight (strawberries and corn on the cobs - cute :-)

P.S. How about it Diana - Ozlorna's technique deserves a vid
Maybe someday...but I confess, it would just be something to do that's different for me. I have done heel variations, but am actually am one of those weirdos who prefers ordinary short-rowed sock heels.
ReplyDeleteDear, Anon, I'd have answered you directly if I could. However, I have prepared a more detailed PDF version and put it as a Ravelry download.
ReplyDeleteThe easiest thing to do is - Cast on, and work though it, it isn't at all hard if you've hand knit them.
