Socks!

I've finished my first Winter Dudes sock.  I'm through the colorwork and about to start the heel shaping for the second sock.  You can see the trees on the first sock.  There's an additional chart with this pattern without the trees.  It has more gnomes (wearing backpacks!) instead.  I went with the trees because I am making Christmas socks, but the all-gnomes design is also cute.

Now that I'm through the colorwork, the rest of the sock should go pretty quickly.  This pattern has a heel I've never worked before.  It's a short row heel, but there are little gussets on the side which should give me a better fit for my high arches than just a regular short row heel does.  I'm looking forward to testing these!
