Socks that Rock yarn + Quidditch 2

So, I got my order from Blue Moon Fiber Arts today. I had ordered 3 skeins of yarn- 1 skein of 24 karat, 1 skein of Mustang Sally, and 1 skein of lover's leap- 2 reds because I wasn't sure which one would be best for a Gryff sock kit. Turns out Mustang Sally was, because Lover's Leap was (as I suspected but wasn't quite sure) definitely more pink than red. But it worked out- I have a skein of STR to call my own. OH, yes, all were STR Lightweight.

Yum. The yarn is really lovely, and I wish I didn't have to send off the Gryffindor colored skeins. Also, for anyone who's wondering- 24 Karat and Mustang Sally are PERFECT Gryffindor colors. I'm also working on the bag (I plan to have everything sent out on MONDAY of next week I'm just waiting for a few things to come in the mail and I have mostly everything all set) and not making it in Gryffindor colors this time, but using some earthy Crystal Palace Taos instead. Good times.
