Happy weekend!
I had to take a break from my socks due to kids school vacation and life getting in the way.
However, I’m back at it.
Using Marly Bird’s great videos, I have completed one heel turn and gusset!
I chose to knit the alternative gusset that Marly provides (both ways are in the written directions).
I am continuing to knit the stockinette foot portion of this sock before starting the heel turn of the second sock, simply because I don’t have to think while doing the stockinette.
When the kids are at school on one of my days off, I’ll start the second sock.
Now, I will say my sock looks HUGE, but it actually fits my foot well.
(I’m sure it is due to it being made in worsted weight)
I am enjoying completing each section and am psyched I will complete an item on my Year of Projects list!
Have a great weekend!

Good job on this sock knitting. The next one I knit for myself I want to knit the Eye of Partridge heel.

Thank you! I liked making that heel although it doesn’t show up too well with my yarn choice.
