2nd sock heel is done!
I must admit, it’s kind of fun, doing the heel, after the monotony of 2×2 ribbing for 5″. There’s many different steps and each step doesn’t take THAT long and boom, you have a heel! Now it’s onward to the toes, and wanting to finish is then my motivation at that point!

It’s only taken me 3-1/2 weeks to get to this point, from starting the sock, too! Woohoo!
We were stuck in the house today, because of a winter storm warning. There were so many differing guesstimates on how much snow we would get! LOL! What snow? We got mostly rain, just a dusting of snow! It was 35 degrees most of the day, and raining and all that water had nowhere to go, with our huge snowbanks and all! So, the city had to come by to clean snow away from the drain, so the 6″ of standing water could drain into the storm sewer! What a mess. Now everything that was slushy is freezing, since the temp is in the 20’s now!
I wonder if the icy roads and sidewalks will warrant a 2-hour delay in the morning? Hmmm. Probably not.
For dinner tonight, we had chicken, broccoli, and brown-rice casserole! Yummy! (and yogurt and basil and oregano and Parmesan cheese!) . Plus we had a salad, too.

Love your socks. How did you learn - and where did you get your pattern? I’m doing the mid-month February dishcloth knitalong and absolutely love it. First time I’ve knitted one while dirrections are given. I’ve cast on for the snowflake - but next project is to learn to do socks. I need to pick a pattern, yarn and get needles. Thanks! Love your snowflake and thank you for your suggestion on the middle.

HI Dawn!
I am catching up with you today! I love the socks. I am knitting my first pair and am midway through the heel. I really wish I had chosen a thicker yarn like sport weight. I have been tempted to chuck it a couple of times but I am trudging through. Are you using the “Silver’s Sock Class” pattern? If so I might be asking for you advice!!
Love the sock, it shows me the possibility of completion!! Karen T.
