My knitting has been so uncooperative lately that I am so far out of my comfort zone, I couldn’t find it if I tried.

Crying helps.

I’m with you on the top down heel flap socks, I tried short row heels and didn’t like them, I’ve never tackled toe up socks. I tell myself I’m old enough to know what I like and not that interested in new challenges, but then I am very old. Great man socks by the way.

No, it’s not just you.
Although… I don’t really like knitting toe-up socks. Not because they’re unfamiliar, but because you have to rip back more than just a few rows of toe if the foot doesn’t fit. Then, there’s the bit where it goes from half pattern/half stockinette to all-around pattern. I like top down because by the time I’m at the foot, I’m usually getting tired of the pattern stitch and am ready to move on. But that may be just me. There are tons of toe-up aficionados.

Welcome to the dark side! Now you’ll have to try something toe up so you can use every little bit of a lovely yarn.

awesome work… what a pretty sock!

I am the opposite, I always go for short row heels unless there is some particularly striking reason to do a heel flap. I’m quite lazy and just find them quicker to do on auto-pilot. Yes, I definitely do cling to the familiar!
