hump day socks

as promised here are some progress pics on my angel socks.

i've turned the heel and am cruising along on the foot. the heel was a lot less scary than i thought it would be and i am really excited to finish it. here is a closeup of the heel:

i guess this is a dutch heel and, while i don't think it's going to be my favorite (feels a bit bulky), it looks pretty good and i think it will be a very cushy sock. i just can't get over how much i love this yarn. the only bad thing so far is that on the instep (not shown in the pic), the colors have started to pool and i'm not getting the cool stripey effect i had on the cuff. but i can live with it and i think it's going to be a really awesome sock anyway. hopefully i'll have a finished sock next time. :)
