The yarn is a 50-50 merino-tencel blend in the Kelp colorway, and the photos really don&#8217;t convey how lovely the shine is or how much the yarn reminds me of the sea. The pattern is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pepperknit.com\/patterns\/zokni.html\">Zokni Sock<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pepperknit.com\/blog\/\">Minty<\/a>. I had a hard time getting gauge, so the sock was knit on three different needle sizes &#8212; 3mm for the leg, 2.75mm for the foot, and 2.25mm for the heel flap, heel turn, and toe.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spriteshoots\/480931645\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/188\/480931645_042bf5e692.jpg\" width=\"50%\" height=\"50%\" alt=\"All Blocked!\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Other than messing with needle size, the only change I made to the pattern was altering the short-row heel to be an eye-of-partridge heel flap. The pattern is a detailed one, as you can see below, but I think the variegated yarn really suited it.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spriteshoots\/480931659\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/175\/480931659_9f3f96adc2.jpg\" width=\"90%\" height=\"90%\" alt=\"Bloom Details\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Someone who has yet to receive her Bloomin Feet package will be the new owner of these socks &#8212; and I hope she will like them as much as I do.
