Socks and Winners!
Well, it's time to announce the winners of my contest!
The first prize goes to MJ, who guessed 20 pairs worth of sock yarn - which is exactly how much I bought! She'll be getting the Toe-Up book.
There are two runners up who guessed 21. This is a "more correct" answer than 19 because I actually came home with 21 pairs worth of sock yarn, just one of them I didn't buy and I realized the question for the contest was how much I bought, and also one of the 21 is not for me. This question was more complicated than I realized!
So Tece and Dawn are the two runners up - I'll email you copies of Falling Up. (Tece, I need your email!)
In the past few days I've also finished a couple pairs of socks.
Pattern: (Black)hearted
Yarn: Dream In Color Smooshy in Night Watch
Started: 8/1/09
Finished: 8/21/09
Pattern: Twisted Flower
Yarn: Dream In Color Smooshy in Wisterious
Started: 3/10/09
Finished: 8/25/09
Sorry for the blurry picture, the beautiful twisted stitches don't show up with flash and I apparently couldn't stand still enough.
I started the Twisted Flower socks so long ago as twin socks with MJ, but I got distracted when I hit the heel flaps. Also, there is a 38 stitch by 49 row chart for the foot, and that requires a bit more attention than my usual knitting situations allow. But the past week or so I decided I'd go for it and put on an audiobook and just did it. And I'm so glad I did!

20, huh? Wow, you were downright frugal.
Lovely socks. I love Twisted Flower -- it's been on my must knit list for the longest time, I have the pattern, but haven't gotten around to knitting it. They're beautiful.
