going to do some Ship of Theseus level alterations:

• substitute fish kiss heel for flap/gusset
• which means making the ankle longer before starting the heel (2.5”?)
• adding a lace pattern to the instep starting after 1.5” (Super Stitches Knitting book, pg 158, Vandyke eyelets, 3 repeats)

started heels on back of repeat 2, round 5 of lace pattern, approx 2.5” height from cast-on edge

did the square toe, decreased to 16st for length
had to add 2nd yarn at ~32st after running out of the Dorset

Lace pattern for top of foot, repeat 3x between *

1: k1 * yo, ssk, k8 * k1
2: k1 * k1, yo, ssk, k5, k2tog, yo * k1
3: k1 * k2, yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, yo, k1 * k1
4: k1 * k5, yo, ssk, k3 * k1
5: k1 * k3, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k2 * k1
6: k1 * k2, k2tog, yo, k3, yo, ssk, k1 * k1

note: this replaces the skp in the book with ssk, easier to do with this yarn and little difference in final appearance
