Much better name for it than the eye-of-partridge. I also like the heel itself. I love the “eye-of-newt!” Much better name for it than the eye-of-partridge. I also like the heel itself.

Eye-of-Newt is also my new favorite for heels. I have a picture of DD’s cats getting up to no good with the computer (http://yarntails.blogspot.com/2006/04/pets-are-in-charge.html).

Admit it: stranger things have happened. Lorinda, here's how you do the eye-of-newt heel: Let's say your heel flap is 34 stitches (or some other even number). On the first row, you *slip 1, k1*, repeat to end of row. Row 2: Slip 1, purl entire row. Row 3: Slip 2, *k1, slip1*, repeat until two stitches remain, then knit those two stitches. Row 4: Slip 1, purl entire row. Repeat these four rows until your heel flap is the desired length. That's all there is to it!

I *like* that rib, and ROFL on the eye-of-newt heel; which is looking very fine. Beautiful color, too, and twinnage...details, details. I repeat, gorgeous! I have to agree with Lorinda. I think Zeno is happily basking in a warm hoomin surrounding him, heat from the laptop at his front, and two unwitting slaves. (Electronic is almost as good as human. Or at least they move less.) He's even pulling you into his orbit along with Alex and the laptop. You're taking pictures of him, aren't you? Shelley is right. (Zeno? I salute you. Ignore the above, I know you're getting coded messages via innocent emails theoretically addressed to Alex. But I do have to admire the side-benefit of added warmth. Positively Machiavellian.)

Love the socks! And where can I find the eye-of-newt heel instructions? I am determined to try it after seeing your beautiful results.
