Cat's Sweet Tomato Heel Socks - a Heel Tutorial

(to purchase the book: http://catbordhi.com/books/cats-sweet...)
This heel, which gave birth to my new eBook, *Cat's Sweet Tomato Heel Socks*, emerged last winter after several days of sitting beside the wood stove with my mother while trying to fiddle my way towards a new short-row heel.After 3 fruitless days, I did a small thing—and just like that, the clean heel of my dreams existed. This small thing closes gaps without holes, wraps, or acrobatics. The heel is rhythmic to work and nearly perfectly smooth, like a tomato. Best of all, once the process is understood, a knitter needs no written instructions. For more information, visit CATBORDHI.COM
The yarn is Claudia's Handpaint 100% Merino 100 g/ 225 yds in Honey. For more info on the yarn: http://www.claudiaco.com/
