coming this summer!
Are you sock monkeys ready for another round of sockapalooza?! I am pleased to say that I am finally feeling ready to start planning number 5. My master webmaster has just had a baby, so the organizational phase here will still take a while. So how about we think about a summer start? It was sort of odd that we were always starting in the spring and finishing in the summer anyway. This year, we can start in the summer and finish up just in time for knitted sock weather! Watch the sidebar for more details in the next few weeks.... posted by alison at 9:27 am | in
