Yes, there are June, July and August socks. These are socks made from one of my favorite yarns, Handjive Knits Nature's Palette Fingering (100% merino). I had some socks made of this yarn a couple years ago. Felted them, then lost one side. This yarn is amazing, as long as you don't wash it in warm and run it through the drier (which unfortunately seems to be the fate of most of the socks I've made. I suck at Woolens Care). I actually started these in July, but then I did the insanely hard pink cabled socks from July 15-August 15, so those are my July socks. My August socks aren't actually done yet. One side is, but I got sidetracked by the sweater from hell (Camp Loopy #3 project). Anyway, these precious socks are just to look at. I'll probably never wear them because the yarn is, yes, ungettable. They don't even make it anymore. I still have one and a half skeins of it left (and i had to search all over the internet to find those skeins). It's Yarn that is Too Good To Knit.. It's Trophy Yarn. When I die, bury it with me.
Also, tried something new on these socks, which is the two color thing. I made some two color anklets a couple years ago (from this same yarn, btw), but this is the first time I've done the stripey thing in socks. Who says I'm resistant to change?
