Begin FLK heel by knitting 11 rows of stockinette in the back over 28 st followed by P2, then working the front of the foot of the sock in k3p2 rib over 30 st to continue the slant rib from the leg straight down the instep. At the end of the 11 rows of stockinette, move the 2 purl stitches from the back to the front, then work the FLK heel over the 28 stitches in the back. ***
Then do the FLK until 9 twin st on either side and 8 st remain in the middle.

Self- striping note re. Heel: my Fish Lips Kiss heel uses about 12 rows of knitted up yarn (approx. 12 yards of yarn), which info I will use in planning future socks that use self striping yarn, so as not to disrupt the stripes.
