Letterpress Socks

I finished my Letterpress Socks.  These are the June socks for The Handmade Sock Society, Season Six, and I wanted to share them before we get the next design tomorrow.  These are knit in Hue Loco's Merino Sock in the Ohana colorway.  I also used a tiny bit of Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in Natural at the very beginning of each sock (details are in the previous post).  Just a note: this photo is probably the most accurate for the yarn color in these socks.  This has been a surprisingly difficult colorway to photograph!

I'm looking forward to seeing the new design tomorrow!  I have five or six skeins of yarn set aside for this series, but I've found that if I try to pick yarn before I see the pattern, I end up changing my mind.  It's just easier to decide once I've seen how intricate or textural a design is.

In other very big news, Caleb was accepted for graduate school!  He'll be starting his MS at Texas A&M this fall!  We're all very excited, and we've already got the A&M t-shirts around here!
