Turned my sock heel today, and given how many people we seem to have here who fear trying socks because of the heel this popped into my head.

Shut up it’s been a stressful day and I amuse myself…

    I LOL’d 😂 I have my merino fingering yarn chosen for the challenge, I’ll wind it up into a cake this week. Brace yourself… sock knitting is coming

      Yesssssss! I hope the yarn also has some nylon or something in it though, not to pick holes in the plan but I’d hate to see you make your first pair only for them to fall apart straight away 🙈

        I just checked and it does not 😅 Thanks for the heads up! I’ll just get a more suitable yarn (like I need more excuses for yarn shopping lol). I was planning to use this one I got in Spain, but with no specific plans, I’ll just keep saving it for another project, no worries.

          Eep! In that case, very glad I asked! Seriously, not a yarn snobbery thing in any way you just really do need something to reinforce it when it’s getting punished like socks. I made one pair without nylon, only wore them a few times in the house, and BAM! Hole :(
