Information on items in this video:
The socks I used in the photo is from Turtlepurl Yarns (available on Etsy), color Absynthe.
The yarn I used in the fingering weight men’s socks is Knit Picks Stroll Tonal. The gray yarn used at the toes and heels is some unknown leftover yarn.
The yarn I used in the men’s DK weight socks is Knit Picks Hawthorne Sport, in color Irvington.
The 9” circular needles I used for demonstration are Knitter’s Pride Platinas.
The yarn I use in my demo sock is Knit Picks Hawthorne Sport – I think Knit Picks has recently discontinued that yarn.
My nail polish is by Gelish, color “Mauve Your Feet”.
What is the pink and grey yarn you used to demonstrate turning the heel is the video?
That is Knit Picks Hawthorne Sport – I think Knit Picks has recently discontinued that yarn.

Thanks! I will check it out. ?
Sorry, guess I should put my glasses on when trying to read and make posts ?
Love the look and fit of this heel!
Would you recommend to use this heel with your lace patterned sock, or any lace or cable pattern for that matter? Would it look odd?
I love patterned socks.
Thanks
Corrine – I haven’t tried it myself, but I don’t think it would look much different than any patterned sock with a stockinette heel. Could be really cool if the shape of the heel adds to the stitch pattern.

Thanks. I will give it try. Maybe will not use a contrast color for the heel as it might draw attention to the wedge.
Hi and Happy Holidays Staci! I just bought your Sling Heel Sock pattern but I dont see it to download. Perhaps because it’s a holiday. Please help me out. Thanks.
Hi Staci,
Can I use magic loop with this pattern?
