One of the things that keep me coming back to sock knitting is the endless possibilities it offers. Socks are, of course, great little canvases for trying out a new technique or stitch pattern. But even if you want to keep your sock knitting relatively simple — your go-to handbag or Zoom project, perhaps — there’s still plenty of scope to try something new! Perhaps you like to endlessly experiment with your knitting to, or you’re still just after your perfectly fitting, winning sock combination. If so, I present for your consideration: the short row heel.
