I finally found my way back to the sewing machine and got another block completed on the FatQuarterShop QAL, Deck-Ade the Halls. As I was putting them together I was wondering if the heels on the socks I am knitting would be as easy as these were. 
So this evening I knit to the heel and started the “flap.” As this is my first sock heel, I discovered that I am not sure what the pattern is telling me to do.
Anyone want to help be decipher this? Am I supposed to go back and forth on just part of each row? I stopped right after the 17 stitches on Row 1 and decided I better see if I could get help.
We are having a week of sunshine (really different from the rest of the summer. Monday I was planning a whole day of sewing but by noon the sun and the open road were calling me. So DH and I jumped in the car, put the top down, and drove 40 miles for lunch.
Well, time for sleep to prepare for a morning of running around with my daughter as she deals with insurance men and car repair people (dent in door). I think I will take my other sock with me to knit on while I wait for her. Must feel productive even while visiting with special people.
Have a great week, Gari

Yes, that's right, just go back and forth working only the stitches on needle one.
You will come back to the other needles in a few rows and work with them one at a time to build the sides of the heel.
It's fiddley, but you'll get the knack.
I concur with Loulee.
Yep, little short, fast rows. Good progress.
Awesome fabric stockings! I don't know a thing about knitted ones!
Love your fabric stockings. Hope you found some help for those knitted heels.
