Using today to share my incredibly niche hydropower socks. I just started knitting socks this year, definitely lots to learn to get better, but I'm having so much fun!

I didn't find any hydropower patterns (shocking lol) so I ended up making my own chart to show a very basic overview of how water flows through a hydropower plant :)

side note, I'm impressed by how y'all are able to get good pics of your socks! this was hard!

I have three pairs started 😂

I'm happy to inspire you all to knit socks :)

These are the Hibernal socks by Summer Lee using West Yorkshire Spinners sock yarn. I’ve knitted a decent number of socks and have never run into this before. I feel like they fit decently otherwise. I looked at a few pages of projects on ravelry and don’t see others with this issue. Anyone know what is causing this?

I finally feel like I have a colorwork sock recipe that works for my feet! The pattern is from Renarde Endormie. Short row and peasant/afterthought heels never fit me well, even with mini gussets. So, I figured out how to do a heel flap and sole gusset and I love the fit. I also trapped my floats on the heel gusset so I could stick with one color throughout, which I like too.
