Bavarian Socks DONE!

Yay!  Finally, I finished these this morning, now I can get to the other ones that have been poking the back of my brain to get some attention.

Really Twisted..

... the 'Bavarian Socks' pattern, from CAST ON magazine winter 2002-2003, is a Karen E. Williams design.
Plan to take your time - you'll need a lot of it - if you decide to make a pair of these, every knit stitch is a 'k tbl ' until you get to the heel and sole for this version - also, no contrasting frou frouy eylash cuff here. This particular SRH is my first attempt at one from a Regia pattern booklet, aka a 'boomerang' heel??
These socks were started over a month ago and I've just started working on the foot portion today, it didn't help that I made many mistakes and started and restarted various trial heels like this frogged 'eye of partridge' one.

eta; here's a similar pattern by Eunny Jang, now editor of Interweave Knits magazine

Also OTN is the GAL, almost to the second corner when I decided to take a break from it.
