Sock Progress

Here is my progress on the Yukon Leaves. I am loving this pattern - easy, interesting, and moves fast.

This pattern does the heel in a way new to me: after the heel flap, there is a heel band which reduces the width from 30 stitches to 22, and then turn the heel. Is there some name for this method?

The link where I got the pattern from Zippiknits blog is:

And this color is closer to reality.
