Is anyone familiar with the Regia Design Line pattern for socks? The pattern tells you how to do a new heal that I have read and heard from other knitters who know knitters-once you get it figured out-you’ll never knit heals the old way again. The pattern uses a double stitch which is not the problem (not yet any way). I have found an online tutorial that shows you how to do it and it looks relatively easy. The problem is getting started. The first thing it tells you to do (at the heal part) is to divide heal stitches evenly across 3 needles then knit across all stitches including the last stitch on the first needle. Unfortunately, when you divide your needles evenly across 3 needles, your working yarn is now on the middle needle (the new needle). So if you knit across, you don’t even get to needle 1. So my options are to cut the working yarn and start it at the beginning of needle 1 or knit where the working yarn is (in the middle) to needle 4 then start the double stitch pattern directions which will not be even but probably won’t make any difference for fit or appearance. But I am sure that people who have gotten this pattern ARE NOT doing my two options. Any one with any ideas please advise-it would be much appreciated!
