One down one to go
hI finished one of my Rapid River socks yesterday.
I really love this pattern and the yarn (knitpicks essential) is absolutely yummy. I did the heel flap like the pattern suggested. Usually I feel flapped heels are really big and bulky but this one isn’t. (AND NO GUSSET HOLES! GO ME!)
I tried to do something different with the toes and wanted to take the lace pattern as far up as possible, but they turned out a little boxy. Even too boxy for my tastes. I think a wash will help them out a bit.
I’m in line waiting to join the SAM3 and would like to finish these this month. Melissa has already requested a pair of socks for herself so maybe I’ll do some simple stockinette ones for her next month. 
Hope this post finds everyone happy, healthy, and warm!

Hi! I’m your hostess for SAM3. You should have received your blog invite a couple of times by now, but let me know if you need me to resend it again.
Maybe I have your e-mail address wrong? Just let me know, and I’ll get it straightened out. I didn’t realize you were still waiting. So sorry.
