Gents Fancy Sock Progress

My 17 hour drive back to Colorado was a very productive drive. I was able to work on the current Vintage Sock KAL, Gentleman's Fancy Sock as we listened to a Clive Custler novel on audio. I've modified the pattern so that it will fit a ladies' foot. This Anne Schaeffer yarn is very, very soft and ultra-fine - yummy colors that I get 'lost' in. The pattern does not show up as well as it would on a more solid color but I love it nonetheless. I'm using my new Addi Natura 2mm bamboo needles and like them. This is the first time I've knit a short-row heel and was well pleased to discover it fits my heel perfectly. I may have to forego those heel-flaps from here on out!
