Bullion stitch

It has to be one of those stitches that you need to practice a thousand times to get one right. I love the look of them and so far, mine have turned out horrible...More practice I guess. I was wondering if there were any socks out there that used the bullion stitch? I think it would look really good as a bed sock or for socks to wear around the house...or it could be that i am such a homebody that anything is good to wear at home...Well I must go and try and concentrate (got a cold) and see if I can finish the pattern that I am working on. Only the sleeves, collar, and trim to go on my Elegance sweater!!!
