If you go to my Ravelry page "DrMarta" and check the project notes on the Crazy Socks, there is some discussion of the pattern. I made it up from several different patterns, but was basically working from a worksheet Cat Bordhi gave us at a sock knitting class I took last June in Columbus OH. The increasing came from the Riverbed architecture in her Sock Pathways book. I loved the yarn and need to make some adjustments to the width of the heel, but otherwise it would be a great basic sock for handpainted sock yarns.

Re: steeking -
I knit some swatches in the round and went for it! HERE is a good tutorial, but I believe Knit Picks has steeking tutorials and you can also try Youtube.
The thought of cutting your fabric is very scary, but after you try it... not so terrifying!
I highly reccomend steeking on a swatch first, to calm your nerves.
Good luck!
