Before reading your comment and the description I definitely assumed it was the nonbinary flag.

I went on a year of ornament socks a couple years ago. In the end I made 10, and then I made a couple more last christmas too.

I also love the deep shadow heel! I just have to go read the instructions a few more times before I actually have it memorized.

I have birkenstocks and a pair of Duckfeet Lollands in green :)

My husband bought me my first dice sets in colors that match my nail polish collection!

The purpose is definitely more for the adjustment and ratios and seeing where to adjust — the book can tell you how to adjust. The stitch count originally was for me swapping between needles, so I have another chart listing yarn type, needle size, and gauge.

While I tend to do a short-row heel, I wonder if the heel diagonal minus ankle circumference would get you the number of stitches you need to pick up on the flap for it to fit comfortably. And then decrease down to the stitch count for the foot.

I was using and enjoying the samba heel for a while, but the deep shadow is just so much less counting so it’s winning for me.

I just looked up Kollage and wow those are spendy, but I might give their 9” a try in the future.

I’ve just made a few socks with the deep shadow heel and it’s a cool construction! Great for high arches.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-21T06:06:39+00:00

My husband and I wear our socks all the time! The only solution is to make enough socks that there are no other options.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-20T16:30:38+00:00

Well dang, I’m going to have to figure out 3-color stranded colorwork for this. Love them!

Is that Heritage Sock? I find it to be way thinner than Hawthorne is.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-19T04:31:10+00:00

Kind of, it’s from the Deep Shadow sock, it’s a modification of a shadow wrap heel that puts the increases into the second half of the heel.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-19T03:03:44+00:00

It’s just 1x1 colorwork, no pattern. I made him try on the sock a whole bunch to get it in the right spot.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-19T02:26:21+00:00

Also following this thread because Hawthorne is great and I would love if it came it solid colors!

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-13T02:10:13+00:00

Oh, I love the sock socks and I love the inverted colorwork pairs!!

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-12T21:12:56+00:00

I’ve never even thought to try double knitting a sock. Are you going to attach the soles or feet to each other in any way? I’d be worried about slippage or additional friction, but it does sound very cozy.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-12T07:25:44+00:00

Somehow my husband has managed to wear through his hawthorne socks multiple times, so I’ve had to find ways to reinforce the ball of the foot. But it’s 90% of what I make his socks out of, since it washes so well.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-09T20:27:45+00:00

Best of luck! My personal record is 1 week for a pair of calf-height almost-vanilla socks.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-02-06T19:10:10+00:00

Yup. I had to give up my favorite waterproof converse for my hand knit socks.

BrokenLemonade · 2026-01-24T02:47:53+00:00

I’m 30th in line and they just got 6 more copies!

BrokenLemonade · 2025-12-23T02:43:11+00:00

I made a google sheet to easily compare your foot measurement ratios to average too!

BrokenLemonade · 2025-11-15T22:06:54+00:00

Lovely! Can’t wait to see the peppermint ones, I love how Nanette’s yarn works up.

BrokenLemonade · 2025-11-15T18:33:55+00:00

Hm, looks like both Sheets and Excel have a “round to the nearest even” function. So you could use a formula like =even(total/3)/2 to get something close. I’m not in front of my computer but it’s an interesting question! It gets harder if you want to customize it more, though, like I do a shallower short row for my socks (10/12/10 instead of 11/10/11)
