A Different Lens: Starry Sock

The Flower Power Fund is a fundraising campaign supporting Marie Curie UK, a wonderful charity which supports people living with a terminal illness.  The brainchild of @Sherlock_knits, a year long campaign of yarny loveliness brings a new colourway each month under the theme of '50 laps around the sun'.  June is the turn of ourselves, and this is 'A Different Lens'.
 
Taking the theme somewhat literally, Caroline went staight to the sun for inspiration, finding a marvelous photograph (photo credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) taken showing x-ray flares from the surface of the sun.  This has led to not one, but two colourways (the other, 'Solar Flare', can be found in its own listing) this one being 'A Different Lens' a variagated colourway using the cool blues, greens and lavenders of the inspiration picture, with speckles of gold mimicing the heat of the sun itself.  Dyed using the newest U.V. reactive blue dyes this colourway is a truely unique offer!
