I don’t know about you , but I hate having to purl the first row of my long tail cast on to getthat smooth looking edge on the right side of my work. The solution- cast it on with purls. This move requires a bit of practice, but it is easy to do and also can be used in setting up any rib pattern. So….without further ado, and armed with my new toy (my video camera) I thought it might be fun to upload this method for your enjoyment. Don’t laugh. Practice makes perfect. I hope you like it.

Thanks so much for making your method of slipped short row heels available. It looks so nice and neat on the inside and outside plus NO HOLES . I have never been happy with the wrapped or yarn over short row heel on my socks. Your method is just so amazingly easy. I’ll be using this on all my heels and toes from now on. I recommend this for anyone who doesn’t like picking up stitches for a heel flap or holes in their short rows. And I might add that I will be trying her newest tweak on the heels and toes of my next socks." Deb
