Take a close look at the point where Sharon picked up the gusset stitches then began knitting outward. It looks like a four or five row pattern there. Am I right, Sharon? It looks fantastic!

Thanks Kim!
Barbara - there's a garter stitch edge on both sides of the heel flap (I think it was three stitches on each side), and I was really dubious about that while knitting it. I've always loved that part of the sock where the knitting basically makes a 90 degree turn and I was afraid this wouldn't look as dramatic. Boy was I wrong. The garter stitch edge makes it really easy to pick up the stitches because there's no doubts about where to pick up or how many. Also, you pick up two additional stitches at the top of the gusset, where the instep meets the heel flap, and that completely eliminates the hole that sometimes occurs there. Clearly, Charlene Schurch knows exactly what she's doing!
Those are beautiful! Think I'll use cables on my next pair.
Sharon, those are so gorgeous! Love the colors! All the patterns look so crisp and clean. What beautiful work!
