Here Come the Treats

Before we post the specs on the next sock we want to catch up and award a few treats for the first 3 rounds.  Since everyone is a winner in Sock Madness, these treats have been awarded in a slightly different way.  Felicia and I have decided that, for each round, we will give a treat to someone who was eliminated and someone who made it through to the next round.  For the most part this will be random but, there will be occasional exceptions and we’ll note them as they arise.

You’ve already seen some of the prizes.  That would be the 7 skeins of yarn that we dyed.  The rest of the prizes will come directly from those who donated them.  For those prizes it would be great if you’d post them to flickr on arrival – to share with everyone.  Just a suggestion – not a demand. 

Without further delay, here’s the first list.  You may congratulate:

From Round 1

Deirdre, from Stephanie’s traveling Sock Division, has won an autographed copy of one of Stephanie Pearl McPhee’s books.  (You may need to wait until things slow down for her to get it, she’s a little busy with the tour right now.)

SnidKnits, from Wendy’s Toe Up Sock Division, has won a skein of Sock Madness yarn

From Round 2

Stariel, from Stephanie’s Travelling Sock Division, has won a gift certificate to Aija’s Esty store - zeromarkers

Sarah C, from Cat’s Soaring Sock Division, has won a skein of Sock Madness yarn

 

As we said, many of the treats will be awarded randomly but not all of them.  Round 3, the treats are being awarded  by the designer of the pattern used – Tricia Weatherston!  She was so excited by your reaction to her pattern and the socks that you’ve made with it.  She says that you are “the most concerned,gracious, friendly knitters around” She will be providing 2 skeins of Claudia’s handpaint, 2 balls of Panda wool and a ball of Trekking XXL that will be divided between the two knitters that she has chosen and selected according to their color preferences.  They are:

Mt Mom, from Wendy’s Toe-Up Sock Division – for being such a gracious loser in her close finish with Tezzcan.

Yarnatic/Victoria, from Nancy’s Traditional Sock division – for her incredible perseverance in getting through the garter stitch points

 

We’ll be in touch with you all to give you further information or to collect it so that you’ll each get your treats.
