RicaWil, I am basically having trouble with reading the directions to the Ann's to go sock pattern.  Specifically the Set-up Row 1 & 2.  But I did get some help with setting up the stitches for the heel flap. Any additional help with the directions on the set-up rows would be great!

Okay, needle 1 has half of your heel stitches, needle 2 has all the front stitches, and needle 3 has the other half of your heel stitches. When you end the leg section at the marker on the last stitch of needle 3 you are in the middle of your heel stitches. So you stitch the stitches on needle 1 in order to get to the edge of your heel, then you turn and stitch from the back. Stitch all of the needle 1 and needle 3 stitches onto one needle. This leaves you with one needle having all the heel stitches on it the other needle having all the front stitches (move the front stitches to a holder).

Does this make sense?

Yes, it finally makes sense!!   I'm going to start on heel tonight.  I just hope I can make it through the rest of the pattern !

Thank you so much for your help.
