Take a look at that sock. With this sock I:
*experimented with a different type of heel
*picked up the dreaded gusset stitches (my nemesis) without having to refer to online help
Um, OK. . . some honesty in blogging here. I did the gusset stitches all by myself, but I picked up a wildly uneven number for each side. But that leads me to:
*figured out and fudged what to do with this wildly uneven number of picked up stitches
*didn't create a hole between the heel and foot
The gusset slopes may be a teeny bit wonky. But I doubt that the gentleman on his galloping horse will ever come down and inspect this sock for wonky slopes.
They look fine and they fit.
Line crossed.

they look beeyoutiful ... but if you're really gussetphobic, you should definitely try toe-up - my preferred sock style ... everything I make toe-up fits like a little dream!
happy weekend, and please stay cool, IYKWIM...
Hallo Mary. Thank you for the nice comment about my shawl on KR. I envy you for your ability in knitting socks. I have yet to knit my first pair! :)

Congratulations on conquering the gusset! The sock looks just fine from this distance and as long as it fits, that is all that matters.
I have to take careful notes on every sock, or I lose track on the gussets as well. I had to frog back the other day because I just kept decreasing while my husband was driving!
