Sock Club Time!

The BMFA Rockin Sock club kit for april has arrived! The yarn is a new wool/silk blend that has a lovely barber-pole effect due to the different dyeing properties. I don't have any great pictures of the colorway, but here's what I do have:

"Walking on the Wild Tide" colorway, and Grasshopper sock pattern


Of course I couldn't handle waiting to cast on, so here's my progress thus far. I've just finished the heel and am starting on the leg part. It's still yet to be determined whether I'll do the knee highs or normal sock length. I think I'd like to do the knee highs, but the pattern is a little boring so I'm not sure.
