I am so impressed by how fast you are with socks! I'm not fast with anything, and I still haven't ventured back into sock territory after trying and failing years ago (it was the heel turn that stumped me; yes, I did have an instructional book and googled for help and etc.). Maybe one day after I polish off some other projects...

I'm not very fast 😂
It's one of the reasons I started working out how long a round took etc so I could feel like I was making progress (some days, a round seemed to take an age). It became easier when I knew what I could knit in a day. I mark the knitting every ten rows, it's like blogging daily 😁.
I still have to look up the heel turn (and kitchener stitch to close the toe). Most other things I can remember or work out as I'm doing it. I was aghast when I mislaid my vanilla sock pattern with the heel turn instructions. It was very worn and dog-eared, it had been used so much. I finally watched this video which explains the formula to construct the heel. I had one of those, "ah, I get it" moments, but I still have to watch the video each time.
I fell into sock knitting by accident, when I used to go to a knitting group in London. They are actually quite a big undertaking because they have so many stitches - nearly as many as a sweater. I'm sure you'll get there when you're ready 😍
