Yes, the SRH is fast and not so much with the counting, but (in my hands at least) just not so dependable. Meanwhile, here's a close up of the Dutch heel from my Madder Ribbed socks (Knitting Vintage Socks). Now there's a respectable heel.
I love this pattern. Love. It.
At first I thought the seams along the back of the heel might be weird, but actually they make for a seriously good-fitting sock. The star toe, I admit, isn't such a good fit for me (maybe Weldon's readers at the turn of the century had pointier feet?!).
I definitely see more Vintage Sock patterns in my future. And more projects with my Knitpicks nickel-plated dpns. (Thanks cauchy09 for the book and the recommendations!)

Yay! I love your Madder Ribbed socks. And, the heel...the heel is perfect!!!
Of course, I find your short row heel fine, too. I did figure out a way to fix those last pesky holes by picking up stitches and then immediately decreasing them.
