I too love knitting socks!! I only wear my own socks these days, they're just so comfy and they always have fun colors.
But the real question is: are you team Toe Up or team Top Down?
Team top down except for that one time I started at the heel. I was not convinced that it was going to work. I felt the need to sacrifice a chicken to make the dark magic work correctly. I'm currently contemplating a toe up pattern. It's a helix rib without a heel... The idea being I don't have to make a new sock when my munchkins outgrow the ones I just finished ๐ฅด. Anyone have any experience with heelless socks?

Team top down can't store their ball of yarn in the toe of the sock they're working on.
You are a genius, I never thought of doing this before!
@constantokra @meggied90 Oh my god how have I never thought to do this
@meggied90 Toe-up gang for life! Except for all the times I knit top-down, of course ๐
(also these first ones that I hated were toe-up, so that put me off for a while, but I came back around lol)
