FlamingPurpleSummerBirds....

With no slight at all intended to either of the lovely June patterns, I didn't have one over the other grabbing me as the best candidate for the lovely Bird of Paradise.

But there is some sort of fire/heat/bird/sock/harrypotter zeitgeist going on with socks. I know there's at least one other Rockin' Sock Clubber also in Pick Up Sticks Club - so did you see the Fawkes Socks that the RSC blog was talking about?

Because I'd promised myself I'd at least have a good go at knitting club socks in club patterns, I wouldn't have thought I'd be doing this. But since for June, we had neither pattern as an all-original-just-for-June pattern, I feel morally sound with considering that an out, and Bird of Paradise is going to be knit up into a Fawkes Socks pair. I'm 3 reps in down the first leg, and it's lookin' really neat. Pic to come.
