UPCOMING THEMES
TBA!
Lifeline is in so I’m ready to try the fish lips kiss heel for the first time. If you’ve done this heel before I’d love to hear how it went.
Two at a time toe-up socks with a P1, K3 pattern across the top of the foot, yarn is Knit Picks Stroll Gradient in Storm
The reason I never made socks is because I hated how the heel flap looked and was too intimidated by all of the others. Bit the bullet and decided to try with FLK and never gone back. I think that the instructions are a little overexplained but, overall, it's a very easy and rhymic pattern.
I've started experimenting with the ratio of side heel:centre heel:side heel and have found that I prefer the heel to be ⅔ of the total circumference, so you might want to try a few alterations once you're familiar with it.
That’s a good tip, thanks!
