True Afterthought Heel

I designed and knit woollen socks with True Afterthought Heels. It is funny but the true shade of the white yarn is natural white but it looks like beige in the pictures. I took many pictures and it is always beige, never natural white!The white yarn I used is from my old collection I have inherit in 2010. It is Finnish 100% wool called Syreeni (50g = 150m). The pink yarn is Red Heart (100% acrylic, 50g = 185m). 

I was a bit worried if the natural white yarn can be seen proper in the pics but for sure you can! That is only good so we don't mind about the weird beige shade in the pics.

I used Single Cables to decorate the socks which otherwise are plain. The tiny cables are cute little decorations.

I knit True Afterthought Heels for the 1st time ever. You can see it in industrially manufactured socks. Despite it is the most common manufactured heel in socks it is not very durable. These are going to be night socks for someone who is not a sleep walker so these socks don't need to be able to bear stress on the heels.
