@AngelaPreston and other #Knitting folks - I bought yarn to knit socks but I'm paralyzed trying to choose a pattern. Do you have a recommendation for a long-time knitter who has never done socks?

@podfeet @AngelaPreston This is a great intro pattern for learning to make socks (on Ravelry)
@podfeet any “vanilla” pattern would do (I’d recommend vanilla because it will help you find out which stitch count suits you best), but I learned through the Sockalong: https://www.winwickmum.co.uk/sockalong
I like this pattern because it is easy to see where in the pattern you are. The original website is no longer available, but the WayBackMachine has got it.

@podfeet It’s not a ‘pattern’ as such, but more of a recipe for a specific heel on which you can build your own stitchpattern design. The Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Sox Therapist. It takes a bit of time to make the template(s), but they always fit me well. 64 stitches is always right for my shoesize 41-42 with this kind of yarn.
@AngelaPreston Yarn in case it affects the choice of pattern.
