Vanilla socks are one of my happy places, I have quite literally zoomed through the entire foot and leg portion of my Goth Kitty Vanilla Socks. I just need to cut in the afterthought heel!
I have been making socks long enough that I am fairly comfortable cutting in afterthought heels. I used to use lifelines when I was new to this type of heel and now I just fly by the seat of my pants.
I did end up adding some increases in the leg to improve the fit. It’s audit season at my job and my stress is higher than normal. So my tension on this sock is tighter than normal, lol. So adding extra room in this sock felt like a good decision!
Happy Knitting!!!

Do you have a good resource for determining where to cut in? I haven’t had good luck finding the best spot to add the heel.
My afterthought heel “recipe” makes about 2 inches of fabric. So after trial and error I have learned that I need 7 inches from the toe to cut in the heel because my total foot length is 9 inches. But I have customized an afterthought heel to better fit my high instep.
Thank you!
