1st sock I had attached the yarn at every stitch for the heart. The result was a little weird but ok.
For the 2nd sock I decided to attach the yarn every 3 stitches, as many knitters seem to do.
The result is horrible and very very tight but I won’t rip it back because I’m assuming that this sock will be a much better fit than the other !

Found a mistake in the heel turn that explains (perhaps) the salad I did with sock 1 :
On row 2 if you P4 your heel is not going to be centered
you should P5 but then you’ ll end with 18 st instead of 16

There’s also a mistake in the gusset decreases (every salad i made is explained !!):
there’s no indication where to begin the rounds, so if your begining point is the same as before heel, you begin after the marker.
So your decreases are not on the same round.
Or round 2 should be: K1 SSK k to 3 st before next marker K2tog K1 SM K to end
