I turned the heel of the purple cable sock the other day and now I’m busy knitting up the leg. It fits perfectly! Yay. Adding that extra cable really made a difference.
Here it is flat:
And a foot shot:
And another:
The gusset heel seemed to work, however I’m not sure if it fits where it should. Is the curve part supposed to fall just after the curve of your heel? Or is it supposed to fall right at the center of your heel?
It feels great, and seems to work just like it should. But I was just curious if I should have started the heel a little bit sooner than I did.
Here are the pics:
See, just after my heel. I also think I did something weird on one side. It formed tiny little ridges where I decreased back down. (Or maybe it was where I made my M1) I will have to go back and look closer.
Regardless, I still love it. Much better than the short-row heel, in my opinion, which I don’t like at all for some reason. The gusset heel is tighter and doesn’t leave those horrible tiny holes where you wrapped the stitches.
So knitting up the leg I go!
those sure are pretty
