[Nfb-krafters-korner] {Disarmed} FW: A new issue of Sockupiedishere!

Sat Mar 26 02:01:43 UTC 2011

Hello, all,

This is Denise.  Thanks for the sock info, Becky.  I want to go on that 
site.  Do
any knitters out there know what this abreviation means?  I've looked 
everywhere and I can't find it.  It's YFWD.  Let me know.  It's in a pattern 
for an afghan I'd like to tackle.

Denise

>> word for Oregon's Mount Hood, home of a historic lodge and

>>
>> 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
>> your stash (and if you don't, run to your LYS or check out
>> simplysocks.com!), so take out your sock yarn and get sockupied!
