Lorna's Laces Swap

I am, apparently, extremely predictable in the yarn I buy for Mike's socks. I've been hoarding two skeins of Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock (my absolute favorite sock yarn), in "Baltic Sea" for a while now, waiting for the specially designated, only for Lorna's Laces, needles to be free.

After finishing my "Labor Socks" the needles were free and ready to cast on... then I had to wait to visit a friend with a ball winder and swift, then I needed to wait for the neighbor to come over for a magic loop lesson (so that I had yarn to cast on with her). Finally all of the stars aligned and I cast on. I love the colorway, Mike will love the colorway.

In fact, I'm SURE that Mike will love the colorway, because when I looked at his feet yesterday I realized that it's almost identical to his favorite Koigu socks. Don't believe me, look for yourself:

New Baltic Sea Socks
They are a bit more green (and less purple) than this, but after 10+ pictures I settled on this one!

Here's what I propose...
