I committed to making a hat, mittens and socks to complete a set for the charity I knit for. The socks were a perfect chance to try out some heel flap techniques. The set was a chance to stripe up some leftovers.
I decided it was fine to use a slightly different technique for each sock. For the first one I did two garter stitch stitches at the edge of the heel. It makes it easy to pick up, but slightly messy looking:
For the second sock, I just did one stitch. And it seems like it's the best finish I've got. I have tried many things, both complicated and simple and this has the advantage of being reliable, easy and tidy I'm knitting a four ply sock next weekend, and i suspect it will be even tidier in finer wool.
And back to out subject at hand: 200 grams of left over 8-ply made into useful objects that will keep a ten year old Ukrainian refugee's hand, head and feet warm.
