I love this pattern! I hope to get a better photograph outdoors if I can get something besides rain or overcast skies. This pattern is great for variegated yarn. I modified a couple of things. I began with 3 rows of stockinette and a purl row (to stop the roll) before beginning the pattern. I also replaced the standard heel flap with the Fleegle Heel which I talked about at length in this post. This is a very nice fitting heel, and no picking up stitches around the flap - woot! These socks are also my second Christmas gift completed. (The Kauni Shawl is the first, but still needs blocking.) We won't discuss how many there are to go.
