5280 DenverKnits Sock Challenge
04.30.08:  722 socks completed / 4558 socks to go
Spreadsheet:  click here


Here are the rules:

1.  You must be a member of the DenverKnits email group.


2.  Knitting begins on April 1st, 2007. You can NOT count any socks that were started before then.

3.  Each time you finish a pair of socks, send an email to the DenverKnits group with the words
     5280 Challenge in the subject line. Tell us 6 things about the pair (note that I said PAIR, not single
     sock!!).

  • Size (e.g. women's medium)

  • Needle size used and type (double pointed, 1 circular, 2 circulars)

  • Yarn

  • Method (toe up, toe down, magic loop, etc.)

  • Who the socks are for (self, friend, family, charity, etc.)

  • Date finished

Only entries with answers to those 6 questions will be counted in the final tally and entered into the
drawing for the gift basket. I will keep a spreadsheet and will report back to the group from time to time.
At the end, I'll tell you the results of the survey questions.

Please DO report to the list any time you like about your progress and current finished sock. Tell us
your blog name if you'd like us to check out progress and/or pictures.

A GIFT BASKET OF GOODIES WILL BE
AWARDED TO THE KNITTER WHO FINISHES
THE 5280th PAIR OF SOCKS - and PRIZES WILL
ALSO BE PRESENTED THROUGHOUT THE CHALLENGE!

Please patronize our sponsors - they have been very generous.

This list will be updated as gifts arrive.
If you wish to donate something (doesn't have to be sock-related),
please email me for information.
