*GASP* She knit more socks?!

 I knit these socks for my dad for Father's Day. Same basic sock recipe with the fish lips kiss heel. The yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 Ply. It's 75% wool (35% is Bluefaced Leicester) and 25% nylon. There is no colorway or even a color number on the ball band. I purchased the yarn online from Simply Sock Yarn Company.
 This pair of socks I knit for myself. It's basic recipe again with the fish lips kiss heel. The yarn is Schachenmayr Regia Tweed Color 4-Ply. 437 yards. 70% wool, 25% polyamide, 5% viscose. This yarn also came from Simply Sock Yarn Company during their anniversary sale.
And these socks! Aren't they cute? Same basic pattern with the fish lips kiss heel. The yarn is from Brenda and Heather Yarns. The sock yarn is their Tuff Toes base which is 80% superwash merino, 20% nylon and is approximately 380 yards. The color is Slice of Summer Remix. The heels and toes were knit with an 80 yard mini skein of Watermelon Rind in the same base as the sock yarn.
