My Sock almost has a heel

So after too many months of trying to get the Lace Sock going... I am so proud to announce that I got the sock to be 10" long... I posted on Facebook about it... I then realized that I needed to start the heel.. but that I had no clue how to proceed since I've never knit using the Magic Loop method before.. not a huge problem and probably one that I could have figured out on my own and probably did since I researched it to death.. but I did my usual thing.. I brought it to Knitting Group... someone there would know or should know.. right.. well out of the 5 knitters there tonight noone had done Magic Loop... so they told me to pick a side and follow my instructions... well once again the instructions are Wrong... I'd already known that there was a correction to the second row instructions that was needed. Tonight I found that the 3rd row instructions were wrong too.. Thank goodness for my friend Christine.. who helped me figure it out and gave me better instructions.

I am currently an inch or an inch and a half into making the heel flap... I'm thinking of bringing it to work over the next couple of days to work on.. better than sitting around waiting for people to want to come in and shop for toys... maybe I'll be ready to start picking up stitches by next week..
