Swirly Frogs

I had been pondering for a while what to do with the Froggin' Yarn. Very much not a color I'd ever pick myself and the pattern seemed too busy for such an already busy yarn. I found this Swirl Sock pattern a few months ago and thought it would be perfect, and I finally got around to winding the yarn and casting on this week. I had the sport weight so it was a very quick knit!


I have a lot of leftover yarn and I think I'll be making something for my 18 month old nephew with it. Probably more appropriate :) Though I am happy with how these turned out!

Tree Frog Contest #2

Here are my answers:

1: The Red-eyed Tree Frog is Agalychnis Callidryas, which is loosely translated from the Greek as "beautiful tree nymph" (at least Callidryas is translated as such).

2: Red-eyed Tree Frogs lay eggs on the underside of leaves (that are near water), so that once the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water below.

3: Red-eyed Tree Frogs are usually 2-3 inches in length.

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be! Since I found so many different varieties of tree frog, not all the answers coincided, so I chose answers based only on the Red-eyed Tree Frog, since that was the one our colorway and images on the contest/shipment showed.

Thanks, Jen, for another great club shipment and fun contest questions!
