Thanks so much, Jandybee! I also plan to do another pair of “Rivendell” socks. The next pair will be with a wool blend sock yarn though, after wearing this pair made from “Maizy” I’m not any fonder of the yarn now than when I knit with it. Lessons.
“Migration” is definitely the next in my que from this book, I love them! To answer your question; Near the top of page 66 the designer sneaks in the line “heel stitches: follow chart 2.” What she means is, follow chart 2 for the entire sole of the foot. That’s the ity-bity chart on page 67. Let me know how they come out! )

I just finished these same socks. I love this pattern and plan to do more. But I have a question: Have you done “Migration” in the same book? There is no chart or instructions for the sole, even in the errata. The picture looks like it’s alternating the two colors so I guess I’ll just design my own sole but I would feel more secure with the pattern or an experienced person telling me exactly what to do
