I used the "eye of partridge" heel directions from SKS (where else!) and i've carried the back cable down into the heel. I'm not entirely sure i like it though, it gets a bit lost in the slip stitch pattern of the heel, i think i should have left those six cable stitches as knit stitches to stop it getting drawn in. I do really like the garter band i think it gives it a nice tidy edge and picking up the gusset stitches was quite easy too :o)

For the sole i am doing a reverse stocking stitch, or as Charlene Schurch calls it a "princess foot", it's a pain to work, i hate doing purls in the round, i always get in a tangle on the first stitch and i also get a ladder there too. Hopefully once it's washed and blocked(worn *lol*) it'll even the stitches out a bit more :o)
Tonight i will cast on the second sock and hopefully see the same progress which means i'll be doing the feets on Thursday, if i work quicker i might even have them finished and ready to wear to the craft show on Friday! That would be cool :oD

Do excuse the crap photos, the camera on my "new" phone isn't very good :o(
