Clever

I couldn't wait ... look, this is how Skew goes,


First there is really weird gusset increasing, initially at two points, but then there is shaping at a third point - at this point is all trust, and wonder


Then the grafting, where a wee flap thing forms thus ....

and then a few rounds to start the leg (and some gusset decreasing) - and there it is!
A heel!



Clever, clever, clever, I'm a fan of Lana Holden if she can work out new forms like this. This is the design I like, structural inventiveness, none of that surface decoration - give me a clever shaping that works and is resolved any day.

Looks pretty good on the foot as well, I like, like very much. Its not easy photographing the heel of ones foot - the leg gets a bit scrunched up.

Note: I like my increases and decreases to line up in nice tidy lines, so I reversed the k2tog and ssk as written in the pattern, I suspect that has added one more structural line to the heel section ... but it works for me.
