Just enjoy making socks as and when, and post them when you are done. If you really think you can manage 12 pairs in December then go for it.
According to my SnB Calendar, in Spain St Sebastian watches over the woollen stocking makers - I wonder if he is watching over our challenge?

Another question - Is it right that only the sock(s) made in a particular month count as the sock-a-month pair?
I mean, if I make 3 pairs in January, I cant count them as Jan,Feb,March can I? I have to actually make a pair in each month I want to enter?

In an ideal world the socks should be knitted during the month they are being submitted for, but we don't have a sock-knitting detector van so we won't be knocking on your door to find out why you are knitting more socks than necessary in any one month, and none in others!

LOL - I love the idea of a sock-detector van and the knitting police jumping out to check whats on my needles.
Sort of like Monty Python and the Spanish Inquisition ROFLOL

I will be very happy if I'm wrong

Here's my January socks! I'm really impressed with how they match each other.
They were knitted in Regia using Wendy Johnson's toe up pattern.
