I finished my April socks last night. They’re two days late, but they’re SPECTACULAR. (It’s a Seinfeld reference—I’m not bragging about my own knitting. I swear.)
They were a very interesting knit, but not as difficult as they may appear. While the stitch pattern took some attention in the beginning with the chart by my side constantly, I found the rhythm of the pattern and worked the entire second sock without it.
I made one modification, and that's switching out the heel flap heel for a short row heel. What's up with heel flaps? (Now I feel like Seinfeld.) I don't quite understand why so many patterns call for them. And while I like handmade things to look somewhat handmade (although I'm not at all upset if they come out looking machine-made), I don't like the look of heel flaps. I'm anti-heel flap.
