First attempt at the fish lips kiss heel. I got stalled on these socks for a couple weeks because no matter how many times I read the instructions it didn’t make any sense to me. Plus I don’t get much time to knit most days, usually just 10-15 minutes while I’m waiting for my kid to get out of school.
I ended up finding a video (Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Betty Mueller on YT) and it made sense! It doesn’t exactly follow the FLKH pattern instructions but it worked for me. Unfortunately looking at them this morning I’m pretty sure the sock is too long for my spouse, but I have to wait til they get home from work before I can see for sure. Either way I really like how quick and easy this heel was so I’m not concerned if I have to tear it back a bit and redo.

I’ve decided this year I was going to do a sock of the month thing, having only made a couple (not matching socks) in the past. My fish lips kiss heel …needs work, as does my reading comprehension. It’s a good looking sock though, good job!
Wow that’s ambitious! I started these right around Christmas.
Let’s just say the first pair were almost wearable. 🤣
Oof been there. Finished my first pair (toe ups), went to put them on, and found out I had done the bind off too tight and they couldn’t fit over my heel.
