There are many patterns that do call for a flap, but they are more complicated and I don't think they are suitable for a beginner - that's why I went with the Fleegle heel.<br /><br />I definitely know that "Toe-Up Socks: Essential Techniques and Patterns from Wendy Knits" (http://www.amazon.com/Socks-Toe-Up-Essential-Techniques/dp/0307449440/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287060300&sr=8-1) has a lot of different toe-up patterns that involve a heel flap. You can buy this at your LYS - it's a relatively new book.<br /><br />I hope this helps!<br /><br />LiatLiathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986060159378396506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440911019771690535.post-2964670127239675722010-10-13T12:21:36.061-06:002010-10-13T12:21:36.061-06:00Hi Liat!

You do have to be a member of my free email newsletter to access the free download area, but once you sign up, you can download many sock patterns in many different weights.<br /><br />I'm so happy you are knitting socks!<br />LiatLiathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986060159378396506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440911019771690535.post-76322962173653806132010-09-24T18:58:43.582-06:002010-09-24T18:58:43.582-06:00After purchasing your video e-book and doing a lot...After purchasing your video e-book and doing a lot of practicing, I'm feeling confident to try it for real! Can you recommend a good pattern for 2-at-a-time, toe up socks using fingering sock yarn for an adult?<br /><br />Thank you so much! Your videos are fantastic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440911019771690535.post-14368108047919509732010-09-14T00:20:45.061-06:002010-09-14T00:20:45.061-06:00You will love it and never go back!

HOWEVER, since you have the video knitting dictionary, which shows each technique both American and Continental, I think you will have absolutely no problem following the tutorials. Remember, if you don't totally love it -- if for any reason it doesn't knock your socks off, I'll refund your purchase right away.<br /><br />When you buy the video e-book, you will own it and be able to watch the videos whenever you want forever. You can even put it on a thumb drive and take it with you and watch it on different computers. All you need is an internet connection. <br /><br />Thanks for asking these great questions.

Also, if I purchase the video book, will I be able to view the videos as often as needed and will have have them forever? I'm a visual learner.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
