I have a skein of Jungle Cat has been tempting me for a while (and not just because the colourway is Temptress). I actually have two, and originally dyed them for a shawl. I've started several, but always ended up ripping them out because I didn't like the way the colours were chunking.
So yesterday, I decided to start Skew. I've wanted to make it for a very long time, and finally got two round needles to do it (it's recommended over dpns), so I figured I'd see if the yarn wanted to be socks!
I have to say - I think it does. In addition to being the first sock I've done on round needles, it's also my first toe-up sock - yay for new techniques.
The sock is coming along swimmingly (I'm already to the heel - way further than this picture shows. ) and I'm already thinking about what to do with the second skein. I could do another pair of socks - but what about a Wingspan?

Very cool looking sock, and perfect in that colourway. I can't wait to hear your review once you're done. It's in my queue but I've been wondering about how comfortable it would be?!
Interesting looking sock , curious to see how yours turns out . Might be a pattern to try with some of my striped sock yarn .
Very cool, that yarn looks great with that pattern. Its been in my queue for a while.
I tried Skew, but it's in timeout - I have a really high arch, and couldn't get it past my heel. The foot fit perfectly, so I've ripped it back to the start of the heel and will look up the mods for high arches. Someday.
I can heartily recommend Wingspan, though. I've got one in progress that I'm crazy about. Sometime soon I'll remember to take a photo of it...
