I turned my first heel!

I didn’t think doing short rows would be too hard to figure out because I’ve played with them a bit before. Here’s the front side showing:

One thing I’m not happy about is that my short row shapings look big and bulky. Maybe they’re too loose. I don’t know. I was a bit afraid of wrapping my wraps too tight; I’ve done this in the past and I couldn’t hook the wraps on my needles. So I made sure not to wrap too tight this time, but I may have overcompensated. Anyway, I think the stitches look sloppy and I can’t wait to practice on my next sock til I figure this out. Thank goodness they come in pairs; I’ve got another attempt waiting for me very soon.

Now to finish the cuff.
