Sock challenge

Nothing like casting on a new pair of socks in a soft nicely coloured yarn! I love the anticipation; how will it look in this yarn, can I manage this pattern?

I decided to take my sock-knitting to the next level and bought the oh so lovely Socktopus (Alice Yu). I'm in love. Decided to make it a challenge for myself to try knit all seventeen patterns til end of next year! Starting with Hundred Acre Wood, a toe up with lovely leaves. Let's see how that goes!:)
