Sock Madness

It is so nice to hear such an enthusiastic response to the announcement about SM3.  I hope that means that all those people who had ideas floating around for SM3 socks are gonna put them in writing.  The date and time of round 6 isn’t all that I left out of the post yesterday.  We have a new team member for SM3 - Carrie (Pacalaga) will be helping with the test-knitting.  We know that, as a former player, she has the perspective and she’ll know what we’re looking for in a SM3 pattern. 

Our hope is to eliminate the last minute panic and get the patterns well in advance this year.  That way we can focus on test knitting and making sure that the patterns are all perfect.  We can also take the devilish teaser shots and make sure that the line up for next year is awesome.  Most importantly, we’ll know well in advance that we have enough patterns.  We’ll post more about what we’re looking for in potential patterns soon. 

As many of you have speculated, the next round, being the semi final, will have just one advancing player in each division.  I’m setting the release window between 7 and 10AM.  I will try to get it to you as early as possible.
