This is one of the best pictures I've seen that illustrates the anatomy of a sock. I used to always get the anatomy mixed up. I'd get the instep and gusset mixed up, the heel flap and heel turning mixed up. Seeing it on this picture it's pretty embarrassing that I could mix those up, sigh... I borrowed this picture from Melissa Morgan-Oakes from "2-at-a-time socks".
A quote from Melissa's book "Knitting socks is like a giant swatch". I use socks often to test patterns. You can put just about any pattern you want on your sock and guess what? No one can see them unless you want them to, yet you can get plenty of use out of them.
I think there are some people who think sock knitting it hard, and really it isn't. It's basically knitting and purling. You can use any size yarn, as long as you get the gauge you want for your pattern.
"Knitting should not be about deadlines, obsessive detail or any form of stress. The only limit is the one you place on yourself." A very true statement from Melissa Morgan-Oakes.
Hope to see you soon
