More Afterthough Heels

I finished another pair of striped socks with afterthought heels. (please forgive the too-small sock blockers)

See how the pattern is not interrupted on the stripes on the instep? That's the main reason I use this heel.  It is somewhat fiddly picking up the heel stitches to knit the heel so I still prefer a heel flap or short-row heel.

I had to reknit the heel of the second sock about 7 times to get it to match the first one.

I just have this 'thing' about identical twin socks.
