A sock!
(For the record, I swear I already wrote a post about this sock and scheduled it to post this morning, but it is Just Not There. So, if you see this sock twice, it’s not my fault!
I finished the first RPM sock.
It has an afterthought heel because I find I wear out my heels first, and I do actually repair them if the heel is an afterthought heel. I tried a new to me heel, the Thumbjoint Hat Heel. It was good fun, but I am not sure if I’ll like it on my foot. We shall see once sock #2 is complete and I get an opportunity to wear them. The best part? If I don’t like that heel, it’s an afterthought, I can always rip it out and go back to a traditional afterthought heel.
You know, it’s kind of funny, back when I started knitting socks, I tried an afterthought heel immediately. And, I really could not understand why they hadn’t caught on, I loved the technique so much. It took a couple years and the fad of really good striping yarn, but they did catch on after all.
I don’t think I am going to start the second sock of this pair right away. I really would like to get a handle on the socks for Mr. Ink and the socks for my mom. Then I can go back to the ones for me.

I’ve never done an afterthought heel and I’ve knitted dozens of socks. I don’t know why I haven’t tried it. But, that’s a good-looking heel! 🙂
Okay so where is this afterthought heel from? I have wanted to try a new one because the standard one doesn’t quite fit my heel right.
I just googled different afterthought heels, and found that one. The name in the blog post should bring it up. If not, let me know and I’ll do some additional digging.
