Sockapalooza sock and holders

I just received these sock needle holders today.  I purchased them from a seller on Etsy, www.lunastrixae.esty.com .  (I would put in the link but I don't know how to do that yet, any helpers out there?)  I really like using these holders for sock needles, so many times I have had to push the needles back into the bag.   I would really hate for one of my nice wooden needles to break.  Plus they can certainly hurt someone.

I started knitting a pair of socks last night for my secret Sockapalooza pal  with one of the yarns I dyed yesterday.  This yarn started life as a cream colored skein of Louet Gems Pearl.  I started the Friday Harbour socks from "Knitting on the Road" by Nancy Bush.  I am 'sailing' along so quickly! (pun intended)  I did have to restart as the cast on edge was far too tight, so I cast on with two needles which really helped.  I have a question though, would you like these, or are the stripes taking away from the pattern? I was not going for stripes when I was dyeing, I was hoping more for variegation.  I think I would wear them but would you?
