Heel turn of the "cosplay" (smaller) #Socks I am making for my mom after she saw some in the same pattern in similar yarn on my feet over a Christmas visit in 2022.
This is a fleegle heel... So I basically do short rows back-and-forth and knit a trapezoid up the back between the two gussets. Then I do someinor expansions to get ready for the leg patterning.

Completed #Knitting the cosplay (smaller) #Socks I made for my mom after she saw some in the same pattern in similar yarn on my feet over a Christmas visit in 2022.
This was knit - purl ribbing for 12 rows and then Jeni's surprisingly stretchy bind off (which is pretty much a half-double crochet as done with knitting needles).

Started #Knitting the larger #Socks I am making for my dad after completing smaller socks for my mom after she saw some in the same pattern in similar yarn on my feet over a Christmas visit in 2022.
This was the Judy's magic cast on and increasing every other row to make the toe. There are now 38 stitches with a marker on the sole and 40 stitches along the top where the pattern will be. These socks will have a longer/wider foot but a shorter leg as there is not as much yarn left for the full pattern. I have similar yarn in a different color so I figure I will make dad the full size and mom the abkle-socks in that color.
