Short Row Hell

My new sock project is not going as smoothly as I hoped. It's my first attempt at a toe up sock, and the first time I've tried to do a short row heel. After watching a few videos, I finally figured out the cast on, and the toe doesn't look too bad, but this heel is a major pain! I mean, I know that it's nice to learn new things, and everything I've read says this heel is fabulous...but, come on! I just ripped out 19 rows, and am going to start again. It's really fortunate that I have the internet as a knitting resource, otherwise I would be going really bonkers right now.
