I'm so glad I learned how to knit because otherwise I would not know about heel-flap socks, and I love how much deeper I'm able to make the heels with this method.
#gonna have a lovely pair of well-fitting socks
#i just started into pattern alteration land
#aka i've got chunky calves but very slender feet
#so i decreased by an additional 12 stitches and have added a ribbing band + extra 1x1 ribbing on the arch
#these are gonna fit SO WELL
#seriously if you look at my nice commercial socks it's sad how ill-fitting they are
#part of this is courtesy of the fact that cute patterned wool socks tend to be marketed towards women
#and sized for a normal person
#not a women's 12us/42+ EU
#but it's sad how poorly fitting almost all of my boot socks are compared to the socks i am currently making
#here's to hoping the yarn I made is touch enough to withstand wear and tear
#(i think it will; it feels pretty wiry to work with)
