Adventures in Sock Knitting

domtheknight helped me pick out our May/June pick: Wyvern. We're both excited to try toe-up socks, as this will be a first for us. Any words of wisdom, comm, or do we have nothing to fear?

I also have to confess that between finishing my Ph.D., wedding planning, and having a really resilient sinus infection I still haven't finished either of our previous picks. I'm working on it, though. What else could eleven plane flights over the course of my honeymoon be for?

Anyway, yarn thoughts? I was thinking of going with something green but I don't have anything like that in my stash so I have an excuse to visit Weaving Works for their big sale next weekend.

This month we'll be working on Blackrose from the Winter 2008 issue of Knitty. As an added bonus, it even comes with a pattern for matching wrist warmers.

Ready? Set? Go!

What yarn will you be using? I'm stuck between Socks that Rock's Thraven, Lenore, and Valkyrie colorways.
