Heel hole: the epic problem

My Providence socks are coming along well. I put the ball of yarn in a yarn bra, so it's staying together better. I've turned the heel and am getting close to starting the ribbing:

I tried Wendy's method of avoiding the heel hole, and it didn't work for me. She knits at a tighter gauge than I do, which may be part of it. I'll try some other tricks on the second sock as well; it seems to be an elegant solution, and I'd very much like for it to work.


Amazingly, it snowed yesterday in Providence. Still, today was a glorious Easter.
