why didn't anyone tell me?

I can't even remember where I first heard it mentioned... but I tried out Cat Bordhi's Sweet Tomato Heel for the first time the other day. OMG. So much better to work than wrap-and-turn crap.

I hope it fits okay. Because working it was awesome.

Also. Hi!

edit to add... Foolish me. I should have linked to the helpful video.

Cool! I've seen it mentioned, but not seen the actual method till now. I think I may have to give this a try on the next pair of socks I make for myself. I usually work toe-up, and it's good to know that this heel will work for both that and top-down.

Another fan of Judy's Magic Cast-on here; I usually do the heel from the Express Lane socks, as it has no wrap-and-turns, which I've found a bloody nuisance. The Express Lane heel turn has yarn-overs instead, and produces a very nice heel with no holes at the corners, as a rule (some small amount of tightening might need to happen).
