Knitting people - a sock heel question!

[helenprev]

If I knit a short row heel on my rpm socks, which I am knitting stripy using two different coloured balls of yarn, can I carry on the stripes on the heel?

I want to carry on the stripes and it won't work with a flap heel, I know that, but I've never tried to knit a short row heel before - I think it is time to learn!
