terri · Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2006 11:24 am Post subject: The Rules

The sockamonth challenge will run from january 1st 2007 till december 31st 2007, the aim being to make a pair of socks each month.

You have until the last day of each month to post a piccie on the forum of your PAIR of socks, and if you do this, you'll be entered into the draw to win a skein of n's sock yarn. Progress piccies would be great too!!!!

You will be entered into the monthly draw for every month you complete a pair of socks!

Any member can participate in the challenge, and it is fine to enter the challenge part way through the year for newer members!

The socks can be plain or patterned.

You can use childrens socks as your entry if you wish, but these should count for a maximum of half of your total pairs of socks for the years overall total.

Post a piccie of the socks you have made in your own thread within the sockamonth 2007 challenge forum, this makes it easier to see who made what!

The challenge will be split into three categories when it comes to achievement at the end of the year!
Those who have made 12 pairs of socks or over will receive a gold sock button which they can use on their blog or signature here, in addition, all gold sockist will be entered into a draw to receive the gold sock prize.

Those who have made 6 pairs of socks or over will receive a silver sock button for their blog or signature, and in addition, will be entered into the draw for the silver sock prize.

Those who have made 3 pairs of socks or over will receive a bronze sock button for their blog or signature, they will be entered into a draw for the bronze sock prize.

Monthly winners will be announced on this thread at the beginning of the month from february onwards!
If you are the winner for the month, either pm your address to n or myself, and you prize will be on its way!

I'll post details of the final prizes exact contents later in the year, but they will be sock related, and I promise they'll be worth winning Wink

Happy sock knitting guys Laughing

Well I'd put money on it being Anni to be honest - Most people would be hard pushed to beat her!!!!!! Wonder if we can get a head start while she's in Norway, although I'm sure I've read on her blog (and maybe here) that she's still knitting away!!!
