While I am showing the ribber…
…who’s boss, I thought I’d distract you all from lack of blog posting with [insert drum roll here] a contest.
It’s been a while since I’ve given anything away (July, in fact) so I thought it was about time I coughed up some stuff from the stash…or maybe…possibly…
…instead of a skein of sock yarn that’ll marinate in your stash…how about a pair of socks? Yes, a pair of socks. I will knit the winner a pair of socks on my CSM out of a skein of…hmmm…STR lightweight. These will have to be plain socks with a picot hem and short row heels (since they are the only kind I can knit on the CSM at this time - don’t worry, I have a high instep and they fit me just fine) since the ribber is still fighting me (the bitch).
Sounds good to me - and I’m guessing you all will like the idea. ;o) Go ahead, tell your friends, the more the merrier!
Here’s what you have to do to get a pair of hand-cranked socks of your very own:
Guess how many pairs of socks reside in this basket (it’s sitting on a standard size picnic table for scale - if that helps). You can email your response to me at jessalu [at] gmail [dot] com by midnight Wednesday, September 26th. However, there’s a catch - I have a very, very picky spam folder which catches all the lovely ‘make your *insert appendage here* bigger’ emails I get a million times a day AND most of my regular mail so please #1 put ‘Sock Contest’ in the subject line and #2 leave a comment that you participated so I know to look for your entry (an added bonus - you’ll be making my inner comment wh*re all giggly). Thanks! :o) (oh and if more than one person guesses correctly - I will draw from the correct answers for the winner)
See, I’m kind of killing two birds with one stone here - Kelly tagged me about a month ago to show my sock drawer and it took my sorry ass this long to respond (I’m so sorry…) so you guys get to wallow in my guilt of being a bad blogger by winning a prize. Cool, eh? ;o)

My lame guess is on its virtual way.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:59 am
How could I resist the chance of having a pair of socks knit for me! My guess is on its way.
September 25th, 2007 at 6:10 am
What sort of clue is that … it’s in the shadow … you can’t see how the socks are arranged … are they folded or balled up … etc.

I have also guessed. Also, as Bill Murray might say… oh, never mind, I’m one too.
September 25th, 2007 at 7:47 am
I love a contest.
September 25th, 2007 at 7:55 am
I’ll send a guess. How could I resist???
September 25th, 2007 at 8:00 am
My guess is on it’s way. I guess I can’t send multiple guesses, huh? That would be weaselly?
September 25th, 2007 at 8:24 am
I just sent an email
September 25th, 2007 at 9:09 am
Email is winging its way to you…
September 25th, 2007 at 9:45 am
Fun fun fun!! E-mailing my guess over now!
September 25th, 2007 at 10:02 am
Okay, I sent off a guess!
September 25th, 2007 at 10:23 am
That is quite the reasoning for a contest.
You shall have my guess shortly.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Oh, I’m so guessing. Done.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
I’m playing, too………………
September 25th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
I sent you my guess. After the contest is over we do get to see what’s inside the basket right?
September 25th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
My guess is also on its way, you comment wh*re!
September 25th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
I just sent in my guess…. =)
Thanks!
September 25th, 2007 at 8:02 pm
I guessed. What ELSE do I have to do?
September 26th, 2007 at 12:47 am
I’m another one that wants to see what’s in the basket revealed - show us the socks (said in my best show me the $$ voice):)
My guess is on it’s way.
September 26th, 2007 at 5:54 am
My guess is on the way.
September 26th, 2007 at 10:21 am
Watch for my guess and wish me luck; this is the first contest I’ve ever entered!
September 26th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
I e-mailed a guess.
Now kick that ribber where it lives. Conquer it or there’s no hope for me!
September 26th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
I emailed a guess maybe I should say I hazard a guess. Only my second contest.
September 26th, 2007 at 9:43 pm
I’m sending a guess… my feet are cold so I hope I’m close!
September 26th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
I’m in on guessing. Ribber?, at least your have one
