What is a bad habit you wish you could break? Alternatively, what's a good habit that you just can't seem to get started?

Forgot to mention that this method only works with yarn that has a high proportion of animal fiber (wool, alpaca, yak, Angora, etc).
There's also a Ravelry group for the podcast, if you are into that sort of thing.
There's not really anything to link here, but definitely share your results if this spurs you to dye your first skein of yarn! I can be found on Twitter, Instagram, and Ravelry as @purlbug and you can find the Revelry group for the 10,000 Stitches Podcast here.
These are the tutorials where I originally found and learned these techniques.
Hopefully this will be helpful for those of you who want to do an afterthought heel but are a bit afraid of picking up stitches and snipping yarn in the middle of an otherwise perfectly functional sock tube. :-) Be brave!
