The End

Sock Madness 3 finished up a little over a week ago with Dyveke as our champion. It was a great finish to a really good competition. As usual there was lot’s of great knitterly behavior. Knitters connected, supported each other and shared lot’s of laughs. As times it seemed like s tight little community which is remarkable when you consider that the community includes people in countries that cross time zones and speak different languages. Truly this is proof of the power of knitting.
Since the competition ended Carole and I have heard all of the lovely comments and we really appreciate all of the nice things that you say. It’s great to think that you want this to continue. It makes us both proud.
I wish I could say that Carole and I will be doing this again but we both feel that the time has come to pass the torch. I started Sock Madness after competing in another knitty event and thinking that I could do better. I bet that there are some among you who’ve had the same thought. That’s the kind of energy that Sock Madness needs and that Carole and I really can’t offer it anymore. It needs new blood and excitement.
If you think that you could be the one (or team) to take Sock Madness further and make it even better then contact us at sockmadness (at) gmail (dot) com. We’d love to see it continue in new and excellent directions.
To those of you who have expressed the desire to design for next year or help in other ways we thank you and we’ll pass your info along to the new Sock Madness Mods.
Thanks! It’s been great.
