Death by Socks 3Sign ups end tomorrow ,(on the Yahoo group).
Don't know if I'll bother this time, after the muck up caused by the postal strikes, and the fact that I have yet to frog the enormous socks I received

I would just snuggle up on the sofa and knit something nice for yourself instead....

I agree with n.  Sounds like too much pressure, too little fun for me. At least if you make your own, you know they'll fit!

I would rather have my eyeballs gouged out with DPNs than take part in this!
After my experience on the Monkey Sock Swap, I haven't had even an email since the beginning of November (after the deadline) from my swap pal, I won't venture off forum for swaps etc now. You've spoiled me here  
Besides I heard that some people knit loads of socks and some got zilch but stress for their efforts, it's way too stressful anyway as post is absolute rubbish still here.

I totally agree & you get to chose the yarn/pattern combination.

I agree. I wouldn't bother either. I did Sockapalooza last year and got nothing at all for my efforts - the person I knit for didn't even let me know if she'd received them, the person who was knitting for me never sent my socks on, despite e-mailing to say she would finish them. I was then promised a sock saviour to knit socks for me, but they didn't show up either. So, I was total sockapal-loser!  It's put me off doing any more off-forum swaps.
