Your awesome socks inspired a question for both of you.

Do you buy shoes to show off your socks? For instance, are you prone to wear socks with your sandals, or do you wear clogs or do you have those clear plastic shoes that they make?

I haven’t successfully made socks, but if I did I might be prone to want to wear shoes that show off my awesome socks.

April 2018 Crafty Photo A Day Challenge

We're playing with numbers in this month's edition of #GGKCraftyPAD! Now you might say, how am I going to find something for the number 29 (or any other number)? Be creative. How many rows have you knit? How many stitches are on the needle? How many more inches or centimetres do you need before you bind off? Or, I accomplished this on the 29th day of April. We're so excited to see what you come up with! Here's the prompts list for April 2018 Geeky Girls Knit Crafty Photo A Day Challenge.




So, how can you participate???? Well, there are actually several ways:
INSTAGRAM - Instagram is the primary arena for participating in this challenge. Simply take your photo, add a caption to it, tag it with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD and share it. By adding the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD , others who are participating will be able to see the pictures that have been shared for the daily prompts. C.C. is on Instagram as cc_almon & Dami is on Instagram as damisdoodles so make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

TWITTER - You can also share on Twitter by taking a photo and uploading it to Twitter along with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD . Follow us on Twitter as cc_almon and damisdoodles.

FACEBOOK - Feel free to share with your friends on your own Facebook profile page or on our Facebook page.

OTHER PLACES - Feel free to share your photos other places like your own blog, Ravelry, Tumblr, Flickr, etc. Be creative and then tell us about it! :-)

How will you remember what the daily prompts are???? Again, there are several ways:
~Save the image above to your phone or your computer and check it daily. Maybe even make it your wallpaper.
~Bookmark this post in your web browser and come back daily for the next prompt.
~Save this monthly Google Calendar as a bookmark in your web browser or even add the Google Calendar to your own Google Calendars.
~Follow us on Instagram as cc_almon, on Instagram as damisdoodles and/or on Twitter as cc_almon and on Twitter as damisdoodles as we'll be posting the prompt for that day at some point during the day.

Most of all, we just want to encourage you to be creative. We hope this is as fun for yall as it is for us!!! Can't wait to see your photos!

And don't forget, each week, we will choose our 5 favourite photos from Instagram and they will be shared in the podcast and show notes for the podcast following that prompt. There are so many great photos and we can't pick all of them, but we love looking at everyone's!

Until next time,
Happy Knitting!
