Back to summer here!! Short pants and short socks!! I like these footies so much I knit more. The designer is brilliant and takes most of the counting out of the slip stitch heel by simply adding a marker at the center of the heel when you begin the short rows. Knit 8 past the marker, kfb, k1, w&t. I simplified even more so the purl row rather than p 19, I purled 8 past the marker, pfb, p1, w&t. The next 2 rows were 6 past the marker then 4, then 2. Easy as can be! Just count from the center marker!! I used her method on my next 2 pairs of socks. I had to adjust my numbers a little because this is heavier yarn knit on larger needles and fewer stitches. There will definatly be more slip stitched heels in socks in the future. --Ann-- Savoring these warmer days.

I printed this pattern for short socks the first time you posted it, but haven't made any yet. I did know another pair of mittens while I was at the beach. It was kind of odd.... sitting in high 90 degree temps and knitting mittens. :)
Your knitting prowess amazes me. Beautiful!
