February Solo Sock Club Yarn and Pattern

It's March! I know what you're thinking, but I didn't skip February in the sock club. I simply didn't post about it (I know). The January socks turned out great. Here's the yarn for the February socks:
A skein of self-striping sock weight yarn, wound into a cake, in red, white and blue colors
Due to the self-striping nature of the sock yarn, these will be knit up in a vanilla sock pattern so that it doesn't look too busy with all the color changes. Stay tuned to see the finished socks!

January Solo Sock Club

I'm still enjoying the self-curated Solo Sock Club, inspired by the Yarn Harlot. I made good progress. Here are my finished January socks:
A pair of handknit wool socks. They are brown with mini stripes of green
The yarn is one I dyed myself, I called the colorway Caramel Apple from World on a String Designs. The base is 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon. I dyed it in a way that would prevent color pooling around the heel area. This used a vanilla sock pattern. January is in the books; I'll post about February soon.
