I made it past the heel on my Toe Up Socks With A Difference. These had kind of languished at the bottom of the WIP pile. I had completed the stockinette foot and was ready to start heel. This is a new to me heel construction and I needed time and brain space to sit down and just work through it. Both had been in short supply lately, but I finally made it!
The heel is a double gusset heel worked on the bottom of the foot. I’m following a Wendy D Johnson pattern that is free and found here on Rav. It was easy to follow and a pretty slick construction. Time will tell if it’s more or less comfortable than a traditional toe up gusset heel.
In the mean time I need to finish the leg of this sock and get moving on the second sock!
Happy Knitting!!
It looks interesting! Wendy Johnson has so many nice sock patterns out there that are free, she is a wonder!
I really like the look of them
This is a cool idea. Thanks for sharing. One of the things I dislike about toe-up with a gusset is that the sides eventually get too loose with wear. They of course snap back into shape when you wash them, but still, I prefer cuff-down gussets because they’re stiffer since they can be picked up.
Looking good. Love the yarn!
Love the yarn and have a heel question. It looks as though this heel doesn’t have a flap and isn’t “reinforced” in any way. Curious if that means the heel might wear through more easily.
