Crunchy Socks

So, one of my current projects is my first pair of socks. I'll be breaking with the wool tradition here at Twoo Ho Height because I'm using some really nasty, crunchy acrylic yarn, but I am still on a fiber high since getting my Ravelry invite last October (all other craft forms are getting tired of the back burner). My feet aren't sensitive like the top of me is, so it should be okay. The yarn is Red Heart Strata in the Splash colorway and it looks great, but the texture is even rougher and crunchier than regular Red Heart! I'm just turning the heel of the first sock and will get some pics up soon.
