Sock update

Tonight was the second sock class. I was a little nervous about turning the heel, but Christina took the time with each student and walked us each through the steps. It was so easy!! I took some notes and I should be able to make it through the second sock to this pair once this one is finished. I'm very relieved that this was so easy to do!

Here is what I have so far. This is the back view of the sock with the heel at the right in the picture.

And here is a better picture of the heel.

Now, I can work on the gusset through the foot during lunches this week. And we will do the toe and finish the sock next week. I'm so stoked!! I think it looks fantastic! I hope that I can have the pair done quickly so that I can have them to wear on Valentine's Day!

Once you have mastered knitting socks, you can make Max and Maisy matching sockies!
