i have just finished these socks, plain, yes they are, (apart from a purl row now and again)but a great achievement for me as not only did i dye the yarn myself using Kool Aid but it is also my very first time doing heel flaps, previously i have always done short row heels and toes, but thought it time to sit down and work my way through heel flap instructions. 
i have to say i think i prefer to do short rows, its less time consuming, but there is a pattern i want to work on that has the pattern on the heel flap, so thought it best to give it a go before i did any type of pattern on it.

They are stunning!!! And amazing starting with short row heels  I've not done them yet  Heel flaps are MUCH easier I think.

thanks girls.
the reason i did short rows first is cause Linda taught me how to knit socks, short rows and toe up is the way she does most of hers nowadays, i couldnt get my head around any heel instructions to start with, hence why linda showed me, its only taken a year for me to have a go at heel flaps

Lovely socks Debz. Well done on trying heel flaps - though I still prefer short rows myself. DH says because I'm a lazy so-and-so who'll do anything for an easy life.
