Heels checks? Check.

I've started work on the heel flap. Checks R Us...

(The flash throws off the colors, but no flash does, too, and is blurry besides.)


I briefly considered running a couple of horizontal stripes before starting the checks, echoing the top border, but decided against it. The checks start nicely right off the tops of the zigzags.

One thing I like about knitting a checkerboard on a heel flap is that it makes it really easy to count the rows...

Holy moly. Love it! I am catching up and just read that this is your design. So cool!!!

And anything that helps with counting stitches is right up my alley.

I like it without any lines of demarkation - just zigs into checks.

Also /awe
