Nope! Haven’t gotten to the short socks yet. Wanted finish this pair first. So, I’m knitting along and it’s time to turn the Heel. My brain thinks. “This could be a good time to try a different heel instead of the one I’ve always knitted. Let’s investigate—or this could be my way of procrastination!!
Inside is always purl
Always knit heel flap—k1, s1 across
Then turn heel—
Neat huh?
