Every time I see a photo of someone wearing colorwork socks knit without a gusset, I just scratch my head at how they even got those puppies on the foot to take the photo! I swear it’s a magic trick. I would knit in the gusset, then knit the FLK Heel with tiny needles and possibly fewer stitches to get the right size heel cup due to the extra gusset stitches. Basically, though, I don’t like feeling like I’m pulling on a girdle to get into my socks, doing the hippy hoppy sock dance to get them on. They feel and look good once they’re on, but it’s Not Fun to get dressed in the morning. Anyone else have this experience? ;)
