Day 3: Yeah! I'm almost finished with the gusset. I have 5 more stitches to increase (2 on either side and 1 in the middle). Then I'm ready to start on the heel turn. So far it seems fairly easy.....well the gusset part does anyway. We'll see how the heel turn goes.
I've read the pattern through throughly and the heel turn sounds easy enough. However, I won't really now until I actually start working it. I'm used to doing socks from the top down and really know what to do when it comes to doing the heel flap and heel turn. This is only my third toe-up sock and my first with a gusset and heel turn in it.
I really love knitting with this Alchemy Juniper yarn. I've always loved knitting with my handspun merino but this is a 4 ply with very thin strands. Where as my handspun is a 2 ply worsted weight (I call it a lace weight, where some would call it a fingering weight), yarn. I will definitely buy more of this Alchemy Juniper. I know that it splits fairly easy, but so do a lot of yarns. I just have to pay more attention to what I'm doing when knitting.
