Well i guess i need to find a DvD on how too knit socks toe up because i can't seem too get the Heel every thing i find on toe up it says too do short row just like the toe but it don't make sense to me on how too do that i guess I'm just dumb or some thing but any how i tried to do socks toe up and this is what i ended up with as you can see the heel looks distorted or funky i don't know but it feels good on my foot lol and fits good. and the only reason i want too do toe up is because i don't like grafting the toe closed. And when your done with the sock its done you don't have too graft the toe closed. Much easier i think and Faster too. My son got me a DVD on how too knit socks but its from the top down and now i want one for toe up and hope it shows how too do the heel and not just tell you too do a short row like the toe if it does I'm going too get up set LOL.

Hi Linda
I saw your note and took a good look at your socks. You're doing nice, though I have the feeling you are a starting sock knitter.
Shall I tell you a secret? I never graft toes. I usually write it down in my patterns, but when I have to close the toe, I work them on to two needles (same number of stitches on each), turn the sock inside out, hold the needles together and cast them off, by knitting through both stitches - the toe works much better this way. I'll have to see if I can find a good pattern for you, for a toe-up sock :-)
