Toe up sock with...ahem (Waffle). Knit with Brown Sheep's Wildfoote in SY-300 Ragtime on size 2's -Magic Loop
"HOLE-Y CRAP-O-LA!"
While I love the toe-up method for knitting socks. I loath the holes on the short row heels. I did, however find this, so I will be visiting the frog pond once again.

Great lookin' sock!
I used to get those holes too until I followed cosmicpluto.com's recipe for no holes short row heels and toes!
Love those bright pink socks!
ah and I thought I was doing something wrong! I'm glad I stopped by now...thank you!
I use the crazy toes and heels patterns for short row heel so no wraps and no holes, worth borrowing a copy if you can.
can you waffle stitch in your sleep? maybe you'll just wake up & the sleeves will be done - a few decreases missing perhaps - but still.... :)
I really love that orange color!
I love waffle stitch too. I can't stand short row heels. The ones that use garter stitch are okay. I've recently discovered the band heel. Best of both worlds, and I can use the eye of partridge stitch on them. (but not on short row heels.)
I got my prize for guessing the stitch count. Thanks! I just got beads to knit ribbon I-cord with to make a necklace and the ribbon yarn will be perfect. Can't figure out the other yarn either.
that is a lot of waffle stitch! I think it would drive me batty!!
I love your waffle stitch projects! So sorry about the sock, it's so beautiful indeed - but I think with the tut on short row heels they'll be perfect! Happy Knitting!
I'm getting better about holes too. I've finally figured out about twisting the stitches at the v intersection or whatever you call it. My friend Janette helped with that one. Everything is looking lovely. Ox's socks were the first one's I made without holes. I still have to try toe up.
the harlot really was great. she talked about why knitters are so wonderful which was hilarious & heart-warming. it was all around an amazing day - didn't even notice she was hours late. :)
