I missed posting a Year of Projects update last week, in no small part because there was scant progress to update. Another week later and there's a bit more sock done. I've finished the leg, turned the heel and started the gusset decreases on sock one. With a Florida getaway planned for later this month, I want to get these done and off the needles before we leave ... after all, disaster tends to strike if I leave a sock project hibernating for any length of time.
The heel flap of this sock is very cool looking - with vertical ridges running top to bottom, created by columns of slipped stitches on the right side rows. Might be my favourite part of this design!
I'll leave you with this video from Rick Mercer ... kinda sums up how I'm feeling about this never-ending winter now!

C'mon down ----- it's plus a whole buncha ones!
the weather may be miserable, but your sock is beautiful!
Glad the sock is moving along now and all going well it will be off your needles before your trip.
Ooooh so jealous of you and your Florida getaway! I'm sure you'll be done with your sock before that, it looks wonderful so far!
You had me stitches Lynn , no one but Rick Mercer could think that up.
The sock is gorgeous so far , good luck with getting it done before your vacation .
Lovely to have something to look forward to at the end of the month. The socks are looking great and I'm sure you will get them finished soon.
Can you pack me along too?! I so wanna steal this colorway away from you. The heel construction is awesome.
The sock is really cool looking, beautiful!! Must be great to know going to Florida so soon:)
Awesome sock. I think I've had that one in my queue for a while. Loved that video!!! I'll have to remember that one next time I can't stand winter any longer!
I knew the weather man way just toying with us!
I hope the weather cooperates with you...you deserve some sunshine.
I love that sock!
I keep forgetting that I want to knit that pattern -- every time I see it I love it more.
