Probably a Bad Sign
This last weekend, for the first time in my life, I had the overwhelming urge to knit a flap heel. On every other sock I’ve ever knitted, I’ve done an
Auto Heel – it was the first heel I ever learned how to do, and it’s the only heel I’ve done since.
And yet, when I got to the point that I was ready to add a heel onto the go-everywhere socks I’m knitting, my first instict was: “I should use this pair of socks to try out a flap heel.”
I think it’s because I’m finding that I actually really don’t like these socks. Mostly it’s the colors – and what’s driving me nuts, of all things, is the green. Those who know me will blink a bit when they read that, because green is by far my favorite color, and yet when used in this sock, I hate it. I think it has too much brown mixed in or something.
Poor flap heel – given that I’m predisposed to not liking these socks already, the chances the experience of the heel will convert me away from the Auto Heel are small.
Then again, when you’ve already learned the best way for you to do something, why change?

I guess I am doing a flap heel right now. So far to me, all heels are magic. I’ll post a photo to Ravelry for you!
