Hot off the needles, showing non-matching stripes, basic design
These are named Beach House because the light gray heather reminded me of weathered wood cottages, and the coral, golden yellow (not this mustardy in real life) and turquoise were colors I saw a lot down on the coast (and even inland) as a kid.
Here are a couple of "on the feet" pictures. Socks have not been blocked and the loose yarn ends from all the stripes are still loose inside. I'll start dealing with those ends tomorrow.
The gray yarn is a new yarn I'm trying out. When the ends are woven in, I'll do the usual first wearing (24 hours to "set" the shape to my foot) and then wash them. It's a superwash yarn, as is the turquoise, but from different manufacturers. I prefer to handwash, so I can include stripes from yarns that need to be handwashed (and also because I haven't been really happy with either of the other superwash yarns I've tried in the machine. One shrank on the second wash; the other was limp and stretched out.)
These aren't the "daylight" colors--but close enough to give the idea. The turqoise is actually a bit darker, and the yellow a big more golden and less like French's mustard. That coral pink ("Shrimp" in Cascade 220) looks distinctly different at different angles, as these two pictures show. But at any rate they're very summery-looking.
