Short Row Heels

Want to learn how to do short row heels?

If you are really serious about learning this technique I would suggest getting a copy of "Simple Socks Plain and Fancy"
by Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts. This book has a wealth of information, from sizing for any gauge to various design ideas. Her detailed instructions are very well written.
