Tye Dye Chevron socks

I've decided to go with Charlene Schurch's Chevron pattern. Here's my notes so far.
3/15 started swatch with a cast on of 60. Too big. Decreased to 52 for only 2 pattern repeats but increased the pattern to a 13 stitch instead of original 11. Aren't I getting good?

3/16 Using knitpicks size 1. Cast on 52. Using short row toes.

Pics of the yarn

Noteworthy sock pattern mention

I'm sure more experienced sock knitters already know this but for the newbies like myself I have discovered that the yarn over cable sock from Sensational Knitted Socks is the same pattern as Vogue's The Ultimate Sock book's wrap mock cable. Just thought I'd mention that.

Tye Dye Sock yarn..what pattern?

I have this exact yarn. I borrowed this picture from flicker from chickwith2stix. I cannot decide what sock pattern to use! I have some sock books, Sensational Knitted Socks, Vogue Knitting and Favorite Socks. What pattern from either these books or a free pattern on the net should I use?

Spiderman Blanket written out

The Spiderman Blanket is not completely written out in pattern. I wrote out the last bit as promised on my Rav project page. I am currently working ON this project so there might be an error in my added on part of the pattern. I want to thank AnneM for creating this pattern. It is fairly simple and a great idea. My son will love it and I am already trying to think up colors for my girls' birthday blankets.
