St. Patrick's Day is really a holiday about knitting
You heard it here first!
First off, I finished my Dublin Bay socks. (Did you notice that? Dublin Bay!)
The recipient (like most of the known world) has larger feet than I do, so they're a little big for the sock blockers.
Next I headed over to Catherine's to dye yarn. We got some Kool Aid in green and blue.
Mad Scientwists... hee hee. Here's some of my yarn dyeing.
Alexis came over with her very fab scarf, which totally belongs on this blog.
Stars? check Blue? check I think I need to make one of my own.
And last, but not least, I started my 2nd ever pair of toe-up socks. I like this toe much better. The pattern is Elfine's Socks. :)

You go girl! How are you liking the pattern? I hope it goes much better for you than it did for me (though I super extra love my socks!). Knitting lace with a bad ear infection wasn't, in retrospect, the best idea...
:)
the socks rock! i love that star scarf. where did she get the pattern. i may have to make one myself! the yarn you're dying looks like fun! how did it turn out?
Elfine's socks are so pretty done, and you chose a great color (I love the sock-on-sock action). I also love the double knit scarf-- I love double knitting!!
that green kool aid is one of my faves for dying. i have a whole sweater's worth i undid and dyed, now i need to knit it
Nice socks there! Definately on my to do list. Yes, you must make that scarf it is so cool! Is it sock yarn you're dyeing? :)
This is Alexis, the maker of the star scarf. I had been wanting to make a double knitted scarf with stars on it for awhile now. The pattern in general I've been making up as I go along, but the chart for the star is here:
