I tend to knit very simple plain socks in interesting colourways* because that's what i mostly wear. I have made fancier ones that have been interesting challenges - particularly for presents but they just aren't what i (or the people i knit for) reach for everyday. I've tried various techniques (not the fish lips one - though i have used other short-row methods. They make a nice sock for a lot of people but don't particularly suit my foot shape - i do better with a heel flap) but these days i almost always use one of Cat Bordhi's variations of her New PathWays for Sock Knitters
*i'm very fond of Zauberball and am trying to move towards using the 100% wool version rather than the kind with nylon to cut down on laundry mircoplastics, though unfortunately that's only currently only available in the thinner version and sometimes here by the sea with it's occasional wild weather i need chunky socks!
