Finally making socks out of the yarn from Sock Summit 2011! Found this pattern/recipe on Just One More Row’s stripey sock threads. Used my normal JMCO + Cat Bordhi toe, 2 at a time on 2 circs. Learned the Sweet Tomato heel. Bound off with a picot bind off.

Also increased on side seams every 10 rows for an a-line look. For sleeves, started with the instructions of teal and gray…
