117

Powered by RANDOM.ORG

As you can see, 117 turned out to be the lucky number.  Oh, the hideousness!

First, the runner-up (drum roll, please): Dawn, who chose #115.  Dawn said she would give the socks to her mother, who has such cold feet that she wears two pairs of handknitted socks during the winter.  As the only knitter in the family, Dawn is hard-pressed to keep up.  Well, Dawn, looks like we’re adding to your stress by sending you Jami’s Yarn of Equal Hideousness instead of the finished socks.  Happy sock knitting!

Another drum roll, please. Michele, with #117, is the winner of the Socks of Hideousness and my hand-dyed yarn!  Her comment: “Pick me — I think they are pretty.”  Michele, I’ll be expecting you to put your feet where your mouth is, as it were, and be seen around your neighbourhood in the Socks of Hideousness.  Don’t blame me if you’re followed around by hordes of small children all pointing at your feet.

Thanks so much to everyone who took part in the giveaway; I hope you had some fun — I know I did. (And I won the best prize of all — getting rid of the socks!)

Jami and I will be in touch with the winners to arrange mail-out of the prizes.  Thanks again to Jami for her generous donation of the consolation prize.

    Yes, it is pretty inexpensive. I saw the same “hideous” colourway on eBay last week. Maybe they only sell it there? That’s where I got it from, in any case.

    I *do* like their sock yarn — I’ve ordered more, too. Just not in that colour, LOL….

    They do look a bit like gummy worms; that can’t be too bad…
