Okay, how cool is this?

This is U of MN Golden Gophers colors - maroon & gold - hand-dyed self-striping yarn from Scout’s Swag. I’m doing the heel flap in the Eye of Partridge stitch and look how it’s coming out. Neat, huh?
I have a huge rave for Scoutj - I asked her to do this yarn for me a couple months ago and when I started knitting it up, it was purple and gold. Nice, but we’re not MN Vikings fans here 
So she offered to redye it for me, free of charge. It arrived last week or the week before and it is perfect! She’s already gotten a good amount of business from me (and significantly enlarged my sock yarn stash!), and she’ll continue to be on my shopping list.
The socks are for my husband. They were originally supposed to be a surprise, but I had to spill the beans when I got all excited about how they were turning out.
