Good, bad or indifferent, part of me is competitive and there was no way a sock was going to beat me down. Exhibit one, my “no particular pattern” sock that recently proved so troublesome. It is now sock accompli:
When Terri urged me to show that sock who’s boss, I said, “Yeah. Damn right!” I went right ahead with a heel flap and gusset and said sayonara to the short row. I did change things up a bit though by doing a cushy, rustic-looking garter stitch heel and reverse stockinette toe:
Although this sock has a nearly 10-inch leg, there is still plenty of the Sock Hop (Wild Thing) left over from the original 2 ounce 200 yard skein of fingering weight yarn to get a great start on sock number two. Since I still knit in fits and starts, it may be a while before the pair is complete but it will happen.
Looks great! I like the garter heel. I’ll add that to my list of sock things to try. Sorry I had to hang up on you the other day. I’ll email you shortly!
I like-a.
Happy tasty sock and lovely yarn to boot.
So,is the garter stitch heel extra cushy then?

You show that sock who’s boss.
Love the sock! I will have to do that reverse stockinette thing too! Very cute!
