Here's a preview of week5, socks5. I'm trying out a new heel that I heard being talked about on one of the lists. It's called the yo-yo or jo-jo heel. Over on Tessknits, it's described well, and renamed as the Double-stitch Short Row heel.
It gives a nice, tight heel with no holes or stupid double wraps.
(Wow, I actually wrote "hools" instead of "holes". Sad but true.)
I liked knitting it alot--much better than a regular short row heel.
This is actually second sock. And it's past the heel so it'll be done soon.
60 sts, sz 1 dpns, plain vanilla sock except for the Jo-jo heel.
The directions are not in my head well enough, though. I think I'll do the next pair using the same heel just so it can become more natural to me.

Hey, how are your socks coming? Glad you like the heel and that you found the instructions are clear. As you have probably figured out, I too dislike the double wraps, backwards YOs and other shenanigans on some of the short row heels out there! :)
