I made 2 socks ...

but they don't make a matching pair:
Can you see the difference?

I was knitting happily the usual way I knit Lion Brand socks - 64 stitches cast on, 3k1p ribbing and short-row heel. Just after I started the second sock, I came across this page about Strong-heel Socks by Gerdine Crawford-Strong on Knitter's Magazine 2003Fall. This method of heel knitting sounds interesting ... and it doesn't involve picking up stitches (though I am a lot better with this now). So, I tried it out when knitting the second sock:
As you can see, the flap and gusset are knitted at the same time as one piece. I didn't follow the suggestion of using the other end of the yarn when turning heel, so the striping on the front was somewhat broken. But it was actually not too visible.

This heel fits quite comfortably. But my feeling while knitting was that it took a bit longer to make ... and more yarn too. So, I weighed the 2 socks ... and my suspicion was confirmed. The short-row heel sock weighed 39g while the strong heel one 41g. I have yet to decide which one I like better. For now, I am happy to have tried something new. So, there is no short-row heel Bright Spring sock anymore.
