Sock status...

[willowoak]

I just finished the increases for the heel gusset and will begin turning the heel after a short break. I'm using one of the lifted increases -- from knittinghelp.com (KRL, KLL) and Cat Bordhi (La-rink & La-link). Basically, you lift one leg of the stitch below the live stitch on your needle and knit into it...if you want it to lean to the left, you knit into the right leg of the next stitch on the left needle and if you want it to lean right, you knit the stitch and then left the second stitch down on the right needle. It's pretty close to invisible and the lovely increases look professional.

Pictures will follow...
