How's Neatnik doing?
This is wonderful -- thanks so much! My "to do " list keeps growing. Not sure if that's a :-) or a :-(
The Henpecked STR would look great in this pattern. I've never knit a toe-up sock. It might be time to try, although I'm pretty chicken in this regard.
Awesome pattern! Love it! Thank you for giving me good ideas for some of my yarns! :)
What a great toe up heel flap sock pattern! I'll have to try it out - it is a different flap to the ones I've used in the past. Thanks!

This is a beautiful sock, I can'toomuchtrek@gmail.comt wait to make it!
This is a wonderful sock - looks great, is very comfy and stays up nicely without binding. Thanks for the pattern!
Please check your gusset instructions, as it seems to me that the decreases are both at the end of their needle when I think one should be at the beginning and one at the end.
