Finally! I finished a short-row heel on my first sock!

I have been trying to learn how to do a short-row heel for a toe-up sock for weeks. WEEKS! I have referenced countless books and websites finding that regardless of my number of attempts, I could not understand the instructions (Please remember that I do not have anyone who can teach me this in person). Finally, today, I stumbled across CosmicPluto's old blog post with the BEST instructions with tons of pictures! Yay! Here is a link to those instructions:

Short Row Heel Instructions

If you are struggling with this; you will find your answers there. I seriously want to kiss the author of this blog post or send them lots of yummy yarn as an offering of my thanks and joy! I am so excited to finally be able to finish a sock!

Here is the sock's current status (it has a heel!):


I can't wait until it's done!
