Interesting!
For Easter I made some Easter eggs for my kids and my niece and nephew. Though I didn’t get a photo of the light blue one for him.
This brown two toned one was for the Bub, she wanted it in brown and picked out the colors from my yarnlets.
The purple one is two-toned b/c I simply ran out of yarn… it was for my niece. and the Green one was for the Bead as it’s her fave color.
As I was trying to take a photo my niece wouldn’t let go of them. it’s pretty funny and leaves a cute photo of hands grabbing the eggs.
The pattern I found on ravelry. It turned out eggs bigger than I thought. it’s a really cute and easy pattern.
They’re really interesting and the girls just love their eggs.
Ya knot what Else is interesting? what you can find on Yahoo! Just now I searched “sock wars” and this was the result , I can see more than 11 pages.
When I clicked on this site, I found it was closed down by lucas film .. interesting! Maybe that’s why they’re not promoting this Sock War 4 as much as Sock War 3. They’re still sponsoring it as I understand. (but they don’t have anything about SW4 on their website though) And the New Tofutsies power stripe is supposed to be the yarn for the war. But by looking at their website you wouldn’t know they were sponsoring the game.
More interesting, here’s some links I found about Sock Wars but not the knitting competition. I guess it’s actually a war that kids play by throwing socks at each other like snow balls. HILARIOUS! There’s even movies on You Tube check them out:

In a similar way to the SWTC site(but not by lucas film ), though it’s my understanding that “sock wars” isn’t copyrighted, I’ve been asked to take down my contest for the Weapon Bags. which is sad b/c there’s nothing out there like them, but good for those of you who entered. I’ll be pulling 2 names shortly and letting you know who’s won shortly (read tomorrow or the next day) If you didn’t win but you’d still like a bag check my Etsy store for those you like. If you remember one, I’ve made contact me, via etsy or my email, and we can work something out!
