Well the first four have been knit in—the heel flaps have been knit (and one heel has been turned!)—the gusset shaping will be placed BELOW the leaf tips--a bit of change--but not really a radical one.

The front tips will move too--and I think there will be a suggestion of a stem-- dead center of each flower—too.
The tips knit up fast (there are just 9 stitches across)—and I can work from the other end of the ball. I’ll need them before I can continue, and begin to work in the round.
While I was stalled –(yes, I know, I could have turned the other heel) I took the time to do some finishing. Notice the leaves have had the tails woven in and have been attached to the sock—and the side (well the off-centered side) seam of the top of the socks has been sewn up
There is still more finishing to do –isn’t there always? But I like getting some of the finishing started before the sock is finished. It seems like less work that way.

So today, at work, I’ll knit up 4 more leaf tips. And by tomorrow? Well I hope to have them knit into place—and the gussets started.

I must have spring on my brain too. Knit a baby hat with leaves on top. Can't wait to see your finished socks.
