Slipped Stitch Socks

I found a pattern that I thought would work well with this Handmaiden Casbah sock yarn.

Casbah is lovely MCN yarn.

Here it is wound into a ball. 

It reminds me of a painted bunting. I would LOVE to spot one of these for real someday.

I wanted to do a pattern that was primarily knit (as opposed to textured or lacy) and found this one on Ravelry.

I started the sock with a twisted rib cuff, frogged from Monkey socks I cast on first. I am adding an extra slipped stitch round.
