Leg 44 purl bumps plus 1 rnd
1 k rnd
1/1 ribbing for 20 rnds

I’m pleased with how the heel worked out. Looks like I pegged the change in foot length for using more sts on the heel just right. The deeper heel definitely helps the fit, too, though I think I could go even a little deeper depending on how much it relaxes after blocking. So next time I might try four added sts on each side of the heel, though I will then need to start the heel a quarter of an inch sooner.

Miscounted in the leg of the second sock. I made it too long and only figured out when trying the socks on. Decided to lengthen the shorter sock to match which added an extra day, but all done. For real this time.
