Eye Of Partridge

Can you see the pattern on the heel flaps, up top? That's eye-of-partridge and I like it WAY better than your other standard heel stitch, k1 sl1. I think it looks really cool but I have to stop pretty much right there, because I haven't been able to knit long enough at one time to remember where I am in the 3-row pattern. I am petrified that I'll do a pretty good job all along and then at the end of the heel flap I'll do the same front-side row twice or three times in a row and it will look stupid but I'll be too lazy to take it out and fix it. So I'm just going to go ahead and stop right there, at "almost long enough".
