Very interesting indeed! I have always found Stephens designs a bit "out there", which I dont mind, they are at least not boring to knit lol. But I have always been intimidated by his sock patterns. Well... my new years goal is to make a pair of socks a month and how better to make it a real challenge than to use Stephens designs... I'm going to need to draw on all my abilities and with some luck I might be ok lol
@ByHookorbyNeedles I call it the "after thought" heel but apparently I was told it's really the "forethought heel" lol anyway I put waste yarn in and then knit the heel before the toe cos I try it on to measure.
Small world. I got my sock yarn club yesterday too! It was early and I’m considering the west sock club. Your yarn looks lovely. The purple and green in it reminds me of rather impressive bruises! But, I like it ❤
yeah, mine was early too, clearly they wanted us to get it before xmas, lol. I love the yarn from this club, its so soft and usually very high quality... either silk or cashmere blend. The west sock club looks interesting. I think I will enjoy it. 💜💜
Sounds like an interesting year working with Stephen!

Gorgeous yarn! I just knit plain socks and do the heels and toes last. Nothing fancy! Takes me months lol
I do like the 'after thought' heel, just makes knitting the sock that bit easier.
