My current sock knitting has actually led to a mostly knit sock in the past few weeks.
After this weekend, my sock is now entering its akward teenage years as a sock with an almost complete gusset.
Working the gusset decreases
This part of the sock is always tough and it feels much like juggling a porcupine. Once I get farther along in the gusset decreases it will ease up a bit. Hopefully I can make some decent progress this week at lunch and before class.
Head on over to Tami’s for more WIP posts!
This week I decided to post with the Yarn Along group as well!

I always find that socks seem to go much faster after the awkwardness of the gusset – so I hope that’s the case for you! Love the yarn.
Gussets are awkward, aren’t they? But really, it’s all downhill from here, and then toe-decrease city! Hope it goes quickly.
Great colors in your yarn. “Juggling a porcupine” made me laugh. I just started the heel flap on a sock and that’s exactly how it feels to me too.
Lovely colorway you chose for your socks!
I have knitted more socks than I can count and I still fuss until I am over the hump of the that #!%88& gussett. You are doing a great job. Looking forward to seeing the FO
Smooth sailing when that gusset is finished! Onward to the toe!
Aaahh, juggling a porcupine! I like to say wrestling an octopus!
I have never tried a sock, and I have great respect for all of you that do! I love the colours in your sock!
I have never knit a sock (it’s on the to-do list!), but the gusset part scares me already!
