Self striping watermelon sock yarn - with seeds!

This morning before work, I started a new project with hand dyed self striping watermelon sock yarn - with seeds from from knitpurlgurl on Etsy.com and a basic sock knitting pattern called Strike Up the Band Socks (knitting pattern) from Knitamazoo Fiber Arts, also on Etsy.com.

Hope your week is taking a turn toward the crafty side of life.
Happy holiday knitting...

Tada Tuesday

While watching the Ghost Hunters Live Event last night, I was able to finish sock two!  You may have seen the previous recent bloggie on the sock knitting progress, if so, you will know I am sooo happy these socks are finally ready to wear.  I was waiting for a pattern to inspire me and the project sat on the sidelines for too long.  They're made with Rachel-Marie's aka KnittyDirtyGirl fabulous yarn.  Rachel-Marie has moved on to new adventures and enjoys being a Mom, but we all miss her yummy yarn creations and I know she's still being creative in her life. The pattern I used was by Knitamazoo.  You can find the pattern, Strike Up The Band, and other goodies, on Etsy at Knitamazoo Fiber Arts.  I enjoyed using this quick and easy sock pattern and definitely have sock knitting fever now because of it.  LOL!

On to the next one...(a total Ghost Hunters reference)only I'm clicking my needle tips together instead of the fist bump thingie.

Hope you're having a tada kind of day.
