Dear reader, I know you have been waiting, maybe you have baited your breath, maybe you have not.
But now is the time.
You may exhale.
For i HAVE FLIPPING KNIT THE FLIPPING HEEL OF THE FLIPPING SOCK!
Anticlimax? Just maybe.
BUT IT IS DONE.
Can you sense my relief? I like to think it is some what palpable?
I started with the free pattern, and then very quickly discarded it.
As i could not read it.
There is a reason it was free; It made no sense.
So i abandoned it and continued knitting without a pattern. Knitting Maverick that I am.

Time was passing, the leg was growing.

Then i found the Fish Lips Kiss Heel. Sounds like a Japanese punk rock tribute band, right?
It's not. Gutted, I know.
People of Ravelry were raving about it. Apparently any sock I made using this pattern would fit like a ... well in this case... a sock.
I was sold.
It was Genius. It was easy to follow. AND IT WORKED.
Witchcraft.
