Knitting Hedera socks for a friend. Using Jojoland Melody in y04. The heel is too deep, leaving extra fabric around my foot. I'll make the second sock the same way, the result is not too drastic, but next time I will make the heel flap shorter and pick up fewer gusset stitches to compensate. I love the gradual color changes in the yarn, although I think the plying makes for some kind of yucky spots. In pictures the colors are seamless so maybe from a distance they will be fine.
Fun things about this pair: I knit the first sock in about 15 hours, started in the morning and finished before I went to bed that night. I learned how to graft a toe with the first sock. After I successfully grafted it I went back and ripped out the attempt I had made to graft another sock and fixed it. The lace pattern is simple and allows the socks to push forward quickly. I'll probably use the extra yarn to make some lacy baby socks.
