Christmas Sock knitting progress update

I have 1 completed sock, 1 sock missing a kitchnered heel, 1 sock missing an instep decrease and foot and toes, 3 mates to go, and a whole ‘nother pair. I have spent too much time frittering around with afterthought heel techniques and getting self patterning yarn ( a supposed time saver) to have bilateral symmetry on a pair of socks
