I like the Balbriggan heel. It's really comfy. It takes no time at all to knit up. The grafting thing is just a small glitch in near perfection. For anyone afraid of heel turns this is the one to try. I highly recommend this pattern by Jane Prater if you feel like experimenting with a different heel. I'm planning on using it again with the plainer-knit socks I have on the needle. It's very adaptable.
Today is a bit cooler and these socks are perfect. I can wear them with my favorite shoes which show off a lot of the pattern and color. And I think they look great with jeans, too!
Don't forget to vote - in the sidebar - and help me with my yarn color dilemma. See yesterday's post below for the colors.

Oh, these are georgous!! I love the colors!!!
What Ginny said - such great colours! :D
Absolutely fabulous! I could use more layers of wool today. It's spitting rain and it's so cold.
I love those socks!! Love the color and the pattern. And I'm the same way with new stuff. Why wait, is my motto. I need to finish some of my WIPs (including a pair of socks!) before I start any other project. Maybe.
They're just gorgeous, Stephanie.
The shades of pink in them look wonderful.
Balbriggan heel?? There's a town just outside Dublin called Balbriggan- wonder if the inventor of that heel was there?
I love new clothes too!
Missed your last post so off to check it out now...
Thank you all! These are very comfortable on, too. I went out for a walk after I posted and the performed well.
Mimi - check out my post - about 10 days ago - titled Balbriggan. It explains the heel.
Thanks for sharing your pattern:) I'm interested in the wool -the colors are beautiful!
