Got the heel in - worked beautifully & did not need extra red rows.
Now I am rethinking the cuff. The one on the pattern is just sc, folded over - doesn’t do the beautiful plaid justice, IMO. The stocking with the heel pattern I used has a ribbed cuff which would do nicely. I also have another idea for a ribbed cuff using hdc that I will probably try on a test swatch - it will either be really pretty or a miserable fail. The ribbed cuff is my fallback option. Whatever cuff design I use will go on the 2nd stocking too.

My 'Gunga Din' stocking LOL!
The foot looks out of proportion to the top, but that's just the angle at which I had to take the pic to keep my feet out of the frame.
I really love how this turned out. It's a combo of 2 patterns & although I used the technique from another pattern for crocheting the cuff on the stocking, I came up with the crochet stitch pattern - looks like knitted ribbing.
I am now in 'bobble hell', working on the 2nd stocking, which is going to be super cute if I can get it figured out. The heel & cuff will be the same design as the plaid stocking, so that's 2 things I don't have to figure out from scratch.

The 2nd stocking is done! I call it the 'Holly Berry' Bobble stocking. I will have to take better pictures of them hanging.

They are so nice! And unique. I had to go looking for this thread. Wanted to post an easy lamp idea. Made this many years ago. I used to change out what was in the jar. Either fake flowers for spring, fake fall leaves in the fall. I even made one with the promotional minions from a fast food joint. Full of them. But it's been seashells fir many years now. Used a half gallon canning jar. Drilled a hole in the lid for the lamp hardware. Found everything I needed at Menards.
I also made a couple of bedside lamps using pint jars.

Thanks. Me too. If I had a dedicated crafts room I would do one with thread spools.
