ready, set, go again

Okay, last chance! For those of you who missed the sign-ups last week, I've reopened everything. The sign-up page is up again right here (link removed).

- - - - - - -

One more time, here's the info you'll need to enter:

- BASIC INFO: name, email address, blog address, mailing address (don't worry, I won't be sharing your email or mailing addresses with anyone but your sock pal)
- GROUP INFO: do you want to be in the beginner group? are you willing to ship overseas?
- FOOT AND SOCK INFO: foot measurement from heel to tip of big toe AND foot circumference measured at the ball of the foot as in the image below, plus any other measurements or info that your pal needs to make socks fit your feet


from Priscilla Gibson-Roberts' dream sock pattern

Also include any of the following sock details that are important to you:
fiber preferences - got allergies? prefer summer socks?
color preferences - solids/variegated colors? specific colors you hate?
design preferences - do you like crazy socks? lacy socks? prefer calf length/ankle length?

Include whatever you think your pal should know. If you're up for anything, just say that and your pal can have fun with your socks!

- - - - - - -

If you get the "thanks for participating" page after you submit your info, then you're all set. Next week I should be sending out emails to the whole group.

UPDATE: After reopening the sign-ups for two extra days, we've now got over 350 participants! Sign-ups are now definitely closed. The list of participants and sock pal matches should be coming next week. Can't wait!

Thanks for re-opening the sock swap again too. I wanted to participate, but was away from my computer for a few days and missed the first one.

Thanks so much for re-opening the sign up. I had so much fun last time knitting socks for my pal that I'm glad I'll be able to do it again. :)

Hi,
I'm so sad...I had my signup all filled out last night and our wireless went out. I noticed that it's all filled up, but if you have someone back out or open it up again, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll wait until the Sockapalthreeza. It sounds like great fun. I've knit socks before. Thanks and hope it all goes well.

Hey there,
I did sign up for the swap, but I would like to mention that I would love to be a "sock angel", I will have some yarn at the ready and if given a little time would make socks for that person...let me know. thanks
