Gorgeous sock! Smile

Thankyou Smile
It's my favourite heel, i love the bulls eye effect and if only i could get rid of the rabbits ears on the middle "corners" i'd be so much happier!!


I love the way the forethought heel looks too, though I found it a bit fiddly to get going on. It helps minimise the ears if you pass the second last stitch at each end of the needles over the first one. Then just graft as usual. I do this on all my toes as well, and it definitely makes a difference.
