Hi Carrie. This was so great. It makes sense to me now how this heel is done now. And it's simpler than i thought it would be. I definitely have to try this heel. I also like the shadow wrap short row technique it looks like it may be smother or more tidy than the way I usually use.Thank you so much. ❤🐻
Wow this really just helped me understand how the heel is constructed in general. I’m still stuck on the German short row, but I understand it better now too. I’m definitely coming back to rewatch your videos when I try the shadow wrap heel on my next sock! Thank you so much!
I am looking forward to trying this heel for some variety. I have a high arch and I do a lot of heel flap and gusset heels. Thank you for your tutorial.
My favorite heel is the shadow wrap. Once I tried it, that was it for me. It's so clean and pretty and it's so much faster than my next favorite (the forethought or after thought heel). Denise (Earthtones Girl) has a fabulous tutorial showing how to do it, super clear and free 😊
Thank you Carrie! I have been knitting socks for a couple of years now, using the heel flap and gusset method. I have just begun to branch out into different heels, and found this video really helpful, allowing me to try Cat’s Sweet Tomato Heel. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺🧶😊
Hi, I knit my socks toe up with GSR heel and start my heel 2 inches short of total length. Would it be the same for this heel ? And if you wanted contrast color heel, how would that work? Thanks
Great questions. The Sweet Tomato is a deeper heel than the GSR so I would start my heel earlier in the sock. If I wanted a contrasting color, I'd probably choose a different heel. One of the keys to the sweet Tomato heel is the plain row of knitting around the sock when working the short row wraps - the boomerang - and if I used a contrasting color I'd end up with a stripe around the instep.

That’s cat for you
It’s ok, Kitty !
When you purl back are you. purling 2 together. Are you completing the shadow wrap method?
No. All the shadow wraps get finished in step 4 when working across all the stitches.
Are completing the entire shadow wrap method, it was unclear to me in the video.
Yes. In Step 4 when I discuss "working the wraps" that's when I complete the shadow wraps.
