sockapalooza sock-cess The sockapalooza was by far most work and most fun I've ever had with a knitalong. And what a huge success! With over 150 participants, there was a large chance of failure. But we only had about 6 folks not finish and dozens of generous knitters offered to donate yarn and socks to those pals who were forgotten. Thank you so much to everyone who participated and offered to donate! sockapalooza

I JUST started practicing yesterday. Rehearsals have begun! Thank you, thank you! Posted by: Cara at May 28, 2005 8:55 AMThanks for organizing it! I had lots of fun. :) Posted by: Andrea at May 28, 2005 9:56 AMThis time it will go better.... If only I can figure out how to not make holes when I turn the heel. Posted by: Jennifer at May 28, 2005 10:24 AMCan't wait for the next round. It is amazing there were so few problems. I'm starting to think of what yarn and pattern to use. My pal will just have to live with a bit of a hole on one side of the heel turn, I can't get rid of them! Posted by: Vicki at May 28, 2005 11:02 AMI'm hoping to join the next round since I've just done my first pair of socks! Posted by: emy at May 28, 2005 2:26 PMIt has really been fun seeing all the socks travel around the world. :) I'll definitely want to join the next round too!
