    What a horrible looking contraption. I much prefer my Crystal Palace bamboo DPN’s.

    If only we could find one of those! Who’d need to be in a contest, I’d just be making things.

  3. Carissa Says:

    How do the rules work if we include socks we knit on vacation in our “most socks” count? The rules for vacation socks say not to add photos of vacation socks to the flickr pool but this contest requires that you add pictures to the pool for all socks….

    Please use different pictures for each contest. I’ll update the post to reflect this.

  6. Not That Kat Says:

    Do we have to sign up again if we said we wanted to compete in the initial contest? Not that I think I’ll win or anything.
