The sock is back on track! (Wouldn’t it make a very nice mitt, too? Just throw in a space for the thumb to come out…)

And here is the little beginning of a heel flap. I’m so excited to be getting to the exciting part of the sock. Not that I don’t love the meditative nature of the leg and the foot, but working the heel and the gusset is always the part that I love to see working up for its sheer mathy cleverness. I’ve never designed a sock heel myself, but being able to work one always makes me feel very ingenious.

I’m hoping it all goes smoothly–there are so many other socks I want to make!
