Thanks so much, Becky. I recently purchased a large number of the remaining
Risata yarn from KnitPicks and I'm going to try Cascade Fixation as a
possible replacement for the Risata. I have enough sock yarn for eight pairs
of socks now!

7A:EEE2F30DE2FA47A1490539C454E129907401AD31A0> 9990E8&> Sockupied, and it is
AMAZING. Really. (If "awesome"
> weren't so overused I'd call it awesome!)
>
> One of the focuses of this issue is how to work with heels;
> to flap or not-how to decide? While world events might not
> turn on this decision, it really is an important one for us
> sock knitters.
>
> There are several heel choices; my favorite is the short-row
> heel, which looks a lot like the heels you see on commercial socks.
>
> The cons to this type of heel verses the traditional flap
> heel is that it's a little less durable-heel flaps are often
> thicker because the slip-stitch construction, and if you have
> a high inseam you might need a little more give, which a heel
> flap provides.
>
> Almost exclusively, I wear Dansko clogs, Crocs, or
> flip-flops, so durability isn't really a factor for me, and I
> have a low instep, so short-row heels are my go-to heel.
>
> Sock designer Chrissy Gardiner has so much info to share
> about heel construction, it's really interesting reading. And
> because it's a Sockupied eMag, there are all sorts of
> visuals, too, including an incredible calculator tool.
>
> Here's an excerpt from Chrissy's fascinating article from Sockupied.
>
> Sock Conversions: Getting Your Head Around Your Heels
>
> I started out as a traditional top-down, Dutch heel sort of
> gal and have evolved into a toe-up, crazy-hybrid-flap-heel
> knitter as I've learned new techniques.
>
> I design nearly all of the socks that I knit, which makes it
> easy for me to use my favorite constructions (although I do
> like to mix it up to keep things interesting), but not
> everyone designs his or her own socks.
>
> Switching a short-row heel for a flap heel, changing the
> direction of the heel (from toe-up to top down and vice
> versa), or even changing both at the same time can be
> daunting prospects, but it's really quite simple once you
> have a few techniques under your belt.

> To work a short-row heel in place of a flap heel, divide the
> heel stitches (usually-but not always-half the stitches for
> the cuff) into thirds and work a short-row heel according to
> your favorite directions. (Or use Chrissy's Sockupied
> Calculator, sample at right, to tell you how to work the
> short-row heel!)
>
> When you're finished working the first half of the short-row
> heel, you'll have about one-third of the heel stitches
> wrapped on either side of the remaining one-third of the
> stitches unwrapped in the center of the heel.
>
> Make sure you ignore any gusset increase/decrease
> instructions when substituting a short-row heel.
>
> The heel is worked over the original number of
> heel/sole/back-of-leg stitches without any net gain or loss
> of stitches.
>
> Reversing Direction
> The short-row heel is perfectly symmetrical and is worked
> exactly the same in either direction-no changes required! If
> want to do a top-down short-row sock pattern toe-up instead,
> the heel is the easiest part!
>
> -Chrissy Gardiner
>
> The Heel Calculators
>
> Chrissy provides three heel calculators-one for short-row,
> one for toe-up flaps, and top-down flaps.
>
>
>
> As you can see from the snapshot at right, the heel
> calculator gives you step-by-step directions for working the
> heel by using your gauge and number of stitches cast on. You
> don't have to do any math because Chrissy does it for you!
>
> Being math-challenged myself, I can't tell you how amazing
> these calculators are.
>
> If you're anything like me, you have a bunch of sock yarn in
