Given how much I enjoy knitting socks, encourage others to try knitting socks, and basically never stop talking about knitting socks, I thought you might all appreciate the project notes from my first ever socks.

Lol, glad I'm not the only one.

In my defense it turns out a forethought heel is just not the heel for me! Didn't even know there were different options at the time, though ๐Ÿ˜…

What heel is for you? I'm all about German short rows. So much so that i've been making a German short row pinwheel blanket... with sock yarn... it's basically a never ending garter stitch short row heel.

Can't go wrong with a classic heel flap & gusset. I do have some more exciting options on my to-knit list though, @fancityknits@troet.cafe over on Mastodon just put out a free pattern with a very interesting looking heel variation (toot here) and it's gone straight onto my queue!
