Look, look! Hey, that's me!
This summer at the Sock Summit, I will be teaching a class called "Heelix," which covers two topics:
1. Cast on and knit a heel using helix knitting,
and,
2. Knit a sock from the heel-out.
The helix heel maps a double Archimedes Spiral to a heel shape, resembling a configuration something like this.
Heel-out socks follow this sequence of events (bearing in mind that you can switch the order of #3 and #4).
Stay tuned for upcoming posts containing more detail on some of the techniques used in this class. Although I won't be posting any class content, I will share some related fundamentals that will come in handy with all kinds of knitting projects, socks and beyond!
