Their Hideousnesses
I have had so many suggestions, requests and even pleas that I not overdye the Socks of Hideousness that I had to sit back and re-think my plan. On the one hand, what level of spiritual negativity would I be drawing to myself if I went ahead and brazenly put my own desires for good-looking socks ahead of the opinion of people on the Internet that I don’t even know? On the other hand, I really don’t like the colour of these socks and I wouldn’t wear them. On the other other hand, my sock drawer doesn’t have room to store a pair of socks I’ll never wear. So.
The Giveaway of Hideousness. To counter any bad karmic effects of giving away something I don’t want anyway, I’m throwing in a skein of sock yarn dyed by moi. When it’s all over, one lucky person on the Internet I don’t even know will be the proud new owner of the original
Yarn of very little hideousness
Socks of Hideousness. And some yarn.
The socks: sized for me (9.5 American shoe size), the foot measures 10″ (25 cm), and the yarn is 100% wool (not superwash).
The yarn: 460 yards (420 meters) of 80% wool, 20% nylon (not superwash) sock yarn that wears like iron and I wash in cold water in the machine without any problems (it’s the same yarn I sell on eBay — where *shameless plug* my seller id is Wildflowerhoney).
What you need to do to enter the draw for the socks and yarn is to leave me a comment letting me know what you will do with the Socks of Hideousness (wear them yourself? where? when? give them to someone? who? why? or?), and pick a number between 1 and 250 (and put that number in your comment, natch). On Tuesday, February 24th, when I have had my first cup of coffee and am reasonably alert (usually around 6:00 am Eastern time), I will use a random number generator to pick the winning number. In case of duplication, the entry with the earliest time-stamp will win. If no one picks the actual number, the closest lower number will win. I will then contact the winner and make arrangements to send him/her the prize.
They look so innocent....
Late-breaking update! The most generous Jami, from over at Life at the Stone Jug has put together a Kit of Hideousness, and is offering it as a consolation prize in this giveaway! As well as a print-out of the pattern, the kit contains a stash-sister to the yarn I used to make the socks. Yarn Treehouse Melody color 101 is described as “mintish-purple instead of mintish-orange; I still think it’s ugly”. Yes, two balls of the same great yarn I used for Their Hideousnesses in a fresh new colourway. (Actually, it is rather nice yarn except for the colour.) Even if you don’t knit socks, this is enough yarn to make hideous mittens, a hideous hat or a hideous scarf. A lovely consolation prize, indeed! It will go to the runner-up (either the second entrant with the same number as the winner, or failing that, the next closest lower number to the winning number).
So? Leave a comment and number, already!

I would give the socks to one of my co-workers whose DH was just layed off. She is a hard & diligent worker with two small children and deserves something luxurious and cuddly for herself.

I would like to give them to our Youth Pastor; he does such an awesome job with the teenagers in our church, mine included. He would wear the socks of hideousness because he likes to make the statement, “It’s not the clothes that make the man, it’s how you choose to treat others in rags”.
My number choice is 19. Thanks for doing this!
I would give these socks to my sistah friend Nikki. These are her colors and she loves lovely hand knitted socks. I would like to be a selfish bee-atch and keep them myself…but I’m allergic to wool.

Good morning,
I would keep the socks for me and I would wear them with jeans. I love handmade socks and these are pretty.
The first number that I thought of is 126.
Thank-you, Lynn
If I were the lucky one…..I would use them as inspiration for getting my sock knitting going again. Would wear them proudly and tell one and all how lovely they really are!!
Please pick number…73…
I think they’re very pretty and I have just started knitting and also just started knitting socks. Just love both. Love to watch the project I’m knitting take shape.
I would just love to win them. I’d look them over for comparison and pleasure of how they feel in my hands.
Even though I think these socks are quite pretty and they would fit my feet, I would bundle them up with some sock yarn from my stash, some needles and a pattern or two and send them to the Australian fire victims.
Diana, whose number is 201
I would love to keep them, but alas they would not fit, they would be perfect for my friend and she would love them. My choice is 147
Oh, I would give them to my school teacher daughter in Montana. She loves those colors and they would fit.
I think the lucky number is 56.
I’d wear them myself – they’d fit, and I can always use wool socks in the winter (they look like perfect socks for cross-country skiing). I’ll pick 134.
I would choose to keep the socks for me because I only have one short pair in my sock drawer. These socks rule with the colors of fall. How ideal is that for someone living in Fl. who misses the beautiful colors of the leaves that flutter and fall. I pick Lotter number 58. Good luck to me and thank you!
I would like to have them for myself. My feet are always cold. I have tried to knit socks before but the results were not what I had hoped. My # is 164. Thanks.
I pick the number 237. I would give these socks to my sister, who loves handknit socks. But I would want to keep them myself, as I think the colorway is pretty. I actually don’t really like the colorway of the skein that is being given away with the socks. I hope you still pick me after I say that.
I absolutely love the name of these socks and would wear them to my classes at the University of Montana just to see what kind of comments I receive! My number is 166.
I love the socks! I like the pattern and the color. I’d wear the socks to work, so I’d finally have more than one pair of hand knit for myself. All my socks seem to go to others and I don’t have any for me!
Thanks for your generosity.
My number is 4
I would be proud to wear these socks! They are very pretty! My number is 21. Thanks for the contest. Debbie

Thanks!
I would wear them myself and they are the perfect size for my feet too! I’ve never had a pair of hand knitted socks, so these would be great and I love the color!
Thanks
Sorry I forgot to put my number in
I pick 27
Why I would wear them of course-they look beautiful to me! Perhaps it is my love of the colors of nature-but I have lots of stuff that would blend (or goodness me-maybe I should be dying the wardrobe LOL)
Number 13 it is
I will put them in a basket of goodies that will be auctioned off for the benefit of the Santa Ynez Cottage Hospital Auxiliary. I am the membership chairman of the organization and frequently donate socks and other goodies for auction. Our small auxiliary gives $100,000 per year to our small hospital.
The yarn…I’ll use it to make another pair of beautiful socks–maybe even for me to keep!
My number is 234.
Kathleen
These will join the other things I have been getting together for distribution to the victorian fire victims who last everything. It will soon be winter down here and it gets cold up there where they are.
My # is 137
The Hideousnesses will go to friend Beth who picked these exact colors out of a recycled silk scarf and said those were her favorite colors. She would call them canteloup and kiwi. Sock yarn into socks or maybe a light lacy headscarf for my mother-in-law because she absolutely loves this color combo and it will go with at least half of her wardrobe.
Random Number Generator, please pick: 23
Hope my mom doesn’t see that post: Cantaloupe! or Cantaloup!
I would give them to my daughter whose husband was let go from his job a couple of months ago and still hasn’t found anything yet.
I pick 52.
What a generous offer! I would wear these socks myself if they fit (my feet are a little bigger than 9.5). If they don’t fit I would give them to a friend.
My number is 216
I will wear the socks of hideousness if they fit me, because I kinda like the colors. If not I will give them to someone in need, and make myself a pair from the beautiful yarn you dyed.
Please email me at tink1944 at comcast dot net if I’m chosen as the winner.
Shelly
I believe that I would wear these socks if they fit me. (and they might). Or they would be great to send to the Mittens for Akkol group. I choose the number 227.
Gale in Arkansas
If I win, will donate the socks to the Women Veterans Program at the WLA V.A. hospital. Some of the women in the domiciliary could use the joy of handknit socks!
On my monitor, the colors look ok
number 230
These are beautiful! The outdoorsy colors remind me of camp. I’d give them to my Girl Scout co-leader who is so awesome and adventurous with our girls and me. Love this idea!
I’ll choose 170.
Hi,
My husband would absolutely love these colors. He takes to adopting the unadotable. He is so great though.
My # is 88
I would give them to my daughter. She loves the colors of the 60′s and 70′s and the orange and green would be perfect. These would be “right up her alley”.
#21
I’d have to give them to my sis whose feet are larger than mine but I KNOW she’d LOVE the warm wool socks AND the colors. I really love the color of the yarn. Number choice is #8. Thanks !
I like them thar hidous socks, they are really quite beautiful. And I would wear them to work each day (I work from my home office so I could wear them w/out shoes) and then I wouldnt be going to work barefoot all the time.
My # is 113
I would love to have your beautiful socks.Three years ago I decided to learn to knit socks. I had never knitted anything ever and thought “if I am going to learn knitting I may as well learn to knit socks.” I have now knitted socks for all three of my children and five of my grandchildren my husband and his parents but alas I haven’t made any for myself yet.I would be honored to wear your beautiful socks , My #is my age #66
I would wear them with pride!!!! I love these colors! Thanks, Jamie

Thank you!

Hi, Nicole:
I actually have some yarn like this! I would probably wear these socks around the house, especially on ugly days, because the colours look like spring to me.
My nieces are going to bat their eyelashes at me (taught by their Uncle Jeff, fie on him! ) for that turquoise/pink yarn, I sm aure. But four socks for quickly growing feet???
Thanks so much! This is a fun idea. And I’ll pick number 97.
I would give these to my son, who as a child loved all things army, and these remind me a little of camouflage..
I pick number 95.
Are you kidding? These are beautiful socks and we wear the same size. I would wear them to work and show them off, if the happy colors don’t make the patients smile the name will. LOL. Those of us who walk to the beat of a different drummer have no problem embracing the individuality of these socks, I would wear them happily. They are welcomed in my home and on my feet and everywhere I go. I will defend their right to “be” all that they can be. I pick number 157.
Lucky 62. I think they’ll fit me and look great. If not, they’ll fit one of my sisters.
Actually, I think they’re pretty.
I would actually give them to my son. He is the right size and is always telling me he would wear any color sock I chose to knit for him! The yarn would be mine!
My number pick is 151
Kim E
I pick number 73.
I would give these to my mom. Those are her colors and the same shoe size! She absoltuely adores the two pairs of hand knit socks I have made her, she would worship them.
I would wear them myself. I actually like the colors. And they’d actually fit me. I learned how to knit socks primarily to have socks that fit. To get such a nice pair for free that are the right size would be fabulous. And I would use the additional yarn to knit socks for my sweet 81 yo mama. I gave her her first pair of custom-fitted, handknit socks for Christmas, and, as far as I can tell, she only takes them off to wash them! Another pair would probably be a good idea!
I would use them to make sock puppets – they would be a terrific base for monster puppets! I’ll choose the number 17. Marcie
OK, I forgot to pick a number. Sigh…
I pick 5.
I would keep them and where them. They are my size and I think they look beautiful. I just love the colors. I would wear them as much as I can, they look like they would feel real good on my feet and as of yet I havent wore a pair of home made socks due to I am still trying to figure out how to make them.
I think you did a wounderful job.
Number is 195
I would donate these to mittens for akkol or socks for soldiers as they would be too large for me but I think they are really pretty. I pick #188.
Number 54. I think your socks are totally mis-named. I love the colour. They are not hideous at all! Here’s how much I love them….I wear a size 5-1/2 and if I won them, I’d shorten the foot size and re-knit the toe! Seriously! Thanks for the giveaway lottery.
Cheryl
If they fit DH, I would give them to him. He has gout in his feet and when they are kept warm while sleeping, he feels so much better in the morning. If they fit me, I would wear them. I think they are funky!
My number is 28
I would give them to my mother, who would love the colors and has the same size feet; such cold feet that she wears two pairs of handknitted socks during the winter. This presents a challenge for me, the only knitter in the family! I pick number 115.
I would love these sox for me, the right size and the colors are fine. They will keep my feets warm through our cold Minnesota winters!My number is 65.
Thanks for doing this!
Jo
I pick number 214. I will either keep these socks myself, or give them to my wonderful daughter in law who has just received her first pair of knitted socks from me, loves them & wants more!!
I don’t see # 15 yet. so I’ll pick that number. I LOVE the socks! Hideous is sometimes gorgeous, you know! I would give the sock, were I lucky enough to win them, to my younger daughter Becky, who has made a thing of wearing mis-matched (and that includes patterns and colours that don’t end up being identical!) socks for over 15 years! She has four sons, and doesn’t bat an eye when they wear mismatched socks!
I think your socks are beautiful and I would give them to my best friend whos 40 yr old DH was just diganosed with MS last week. She has 4 kids and has been a full time Mom to her now 17, 16, 7 and 5 yr old so is now going to have to try and find a job after being a full time Mom for 17 yrs. I pick number 129.
Those socks match my quilted jacket (made by me)- I would wear them proudly as an ensemble.
My number is 18
I really like those socks and the colors.I still work 40 hours a week at age 71, and I would wear them myself to work. They would be the bright spot in my day, as they will go with many of my green clothes. I will pick #71. I wear the same size socks as you do too!!
I would wear them on a train, I would wear them in the rain! My number is 57.
Hi, I love the socks! I would wear them myself and they are the right size. I feel funny entering since I’ve only been a member of Knit Talk for a couple of weeks and haven’t introduced myself! I will soon especially if I win the drawing. heehee. I will pick the number of my age which is:
#66
Oops, can I change my # to 67. That’s what I’ll be in May.
173 for me. Those are my colors and my Exact size. My feet, always freezing, will welcome these non-uglies!
I would wear them myself. I think the colors are rather nice!
I would WEAR them! I love browns and greens, and I think they are PERFECT!!! Peggy Mathis
I would give them a home in my sock drawer, right beside the “Socks of Hideousness” sock I just made from Knit Picks Essential Yarn in Blue Violet.
I think they would make a lovely couple.
Then I would of course keep them for myself, because I think the colours are wonderful, and would wear them just as they are. I love this pattern by the way, and will probably do it several more times. My number is 49
I would wear them with pride.I like the colors. My number is 167. Chris
I am hoping to learn to knit socks soon, and would love to have a handknit pair! They are very pretty and I would wear them myself (exactly my size). My number is 33.
I would give them to my Granddaughter who loves orange.
I would give these socks to my daughter. She is always asking for handknit socks and I just can’t keep up with everyone who wants me to knit socks for them. I pick # 77
my number is 137
I think they are beautiful! I would keep them for myself as I never seem to have time to knit my own socks. My favorite colors are orange and green (just see my website) and my entire family is usually dressed in one of those colors, especially if I knit it. So, the point is, your socks are very nice.
My number is 44.
Given I retired from education (not a good field if $ is a goal) just before market went kerploohy, I’d wear the socks. I mean, I just sit at my computer, trying to make money with my second career, writing books for children (clearly not a good choice in today’s economy). And I just found a hole in a pair of my own handknits. Darn! (Well, not really, it’s at a spot that darning will make a lump.)
My number is 8.
I’d have to try them on first to see if they’d fit. I don’t think

Oh, I would love those socks! Those would be perfect for wearing around the house when it is a cold, dreary day! I would love to win them!
I will pick #223! Thanks!
Thanks for the fun contest! They are very cute socks, and my oldest daughter who wears that size would love them
I’ll pick 167.
I would wear them in the woods in the fall. I’d lie down and cover myself up with leaves and stick my feet out. No one would see me; I’d be perfectly camouflaged. In the spring, I’d wear them and stand next to the daffodils. The colors match the green stems and the papery bud covers just before the daffs blooms. In the winter, I’d wear them while holiday shopping. They would remind me of the green of the pine trees and the brown of the pine cones and make me feel all holiday-y. I don’t wear socks in the summer. Yes, indeed, I can imagine wearing these socks on any of 93 days of the year! That’s 93 days!
I love that green color so I’m hoping number 63 brings those socks to my feet.
I would wash in hot water to shrink and wear them on my cold feet. My number is 168.
Those socks would go with half the clothes in my closet, in spite of the fact that 5 years ago I would not have looked twice at them. I’ve always liked bright orange, and detested yellow-green, but recently I find myself buying *and wearing* what I used to think was an icky color.. My true favorite colors are the ones in the skein you dyed. Maybe you should keep the socks – when you get to be 70 years old you may really like them!
Thanks for letting us know where we can find more of your gorgeous yarn!
My number is 71.

These are the perfect size for my feet – I thought I had the biggest feet in the world, but they are 10 inches and they would fit perfectly. My son will visit a farm on a school trip next fall that, among other things, will allow them to pick a pumpkin from the field after they complete a corn maze of the state of Ohio. I will volunteer as a chaperone and wear these socks as they will be the perfect color for the season and the event. My magic number is 23.
I would give the socks to my best, best friend who has been having the ‘sads’. After reading your blog and getting a feel of who you are and what energy went into these socks it might turn her around. My number is 62.
I would wear the Socks of Hideousness, because (a) I think they are beautiful! (b)I only wear hand-knit socks (aren’t I spoiled) and (c) they would be a lovely conversation piece! AND I would use the skein of yarn to knit a pair of socks that I would donate to a charity auction, because what goes around comes around
My number is 141 – chosen completely randomly
~Lori in Nova Scotia
I would wear the socks myself. I love the feel of hand made socks. I don’t have many that I made myself, well, I have one pair. My girls seem to grab everything I make as soon as they dry from blocking.
My number is 88.
Oh, and I don’t think they are hideous at all. I rather like them.
I just love these socks, they match an afghan I am knitting for my mom. I love the rest of your blog too, spent hours reading. Thanks
I pick the number 199.
I have loved these socks since I first saw them with the horrible name attached. I spent hours online looking for something similar and found nothing! I would keep the socks and wear them with at least four outfits I have presently adn proudly proclaim them hand made by a wonderful Canadian knitter. I must say I would probably make socks for my daughter with the extra yarn though. She adores girly girl colors like the pinks and blues together. She’s going to school not to become a medical assistant to support herself and her small son.
My chosen number is 173.
And Best Wishes to whomever wins these beautiful socks.
Thanks Nicole, which just happens to be my daughters name too
I would make sock-pockets on an altered garment apron. They deserve to be showcased… The pattern is beautiful, and you do beautiful work! I like the slightly stirred rainbow sherbet color, but then, I tend to like things other people don’t!
#113
I really should learn to type also Sorry for the typos before. Too much kitten help.
I like that colorway, just goes to show everyone has different taste. I would keep the socks. I would make and donate socks with the yummy yarn. This is a wonderful contest.
My number is 107
I like the socks and would wear them. My 23 year old daughter, on the other hand, threatened to sign me up for what not wear if I win and wear them!!!(she has no taste!)
random number generator picker please pick number 233
This has been fun. Thank you
Patty
I pick #79!
I didn’t think they were hideouss! I saw them first on Raverly then on knittalk. I’d wear them all the time, my feet are always freezing my mom and I both have circulatory problems in our feet and fingers so I wear socks of all kinds all year long.
I would donate the socks to the Afghans for Afghans project and knit children’s mittens and socks from the yarn to donate to the same project. My number is 190.
I would keep them for myself. They’re beautiful and I love the colors plus they are my size, Number 16 number of my kids and grandkids combined.
I would wear these socks in my kayak — they match it and wool socks are still VERY warm when my feet get wet. Since I wear socks under my sandals, all the other folks with kayaks would see them and compliment me on my fine choice of footwear.
Lets try lucky number 66

Hi:
I’ll actually wear theses. I like the colors. And the other yarn will be made in to socks for my Grand daughter.
My number is 57
They are gorgeous, I love them. If I am
chosen, tho, I will send them to an orphanage for a teen who is aging out at
the tender age of 16, to be on his/her own. I couldn’t keep them, much as I love them, when I know that come August a 16 yo is going out into the world with little more than the clothes on their back. My number is 114.

Hi Nicole,
I actually like the socks but they are to big for me. My daughter would absolutely LOVE them and they are the right size for her. If I win them I will gift them to my daughter. I Love the colors in the skien of yarn. My # is 55.
Pat
Hi! I think your socks of hideousness are a wonderful pattern, and I am sorry you are unhappy with the color behaviour. Being a jewel tone person myself, I feel your pain.
Having said that, I would wear the socks of hideousness to keep my feet cozy in wool. I have only a few pairs of hand knit socks, and they are my very favorites – so nice and warm.
Oh, and my number choice is 223. Hope no one else chose it.
I would wear them.. They are my size and I umm, like them! Thanks for doing this!!
Number picked 24
I would give these socks to my daughter so that she can add to her funky sock collection! The stranger the better even those these are not strange to me, just not my size.
My number is 156.
My use for these socks would be to re-gift them to someone who I know loves these colours!
my number is 109
If I’m the winner, I will wear these socks myself since I kinda’ like the color and they are my size! I wear socks ten out of twelve months in Oregon.
My favorite number is 7!
I love the color and I love wearing handknit socks! And size 9.5 is exactly my size so I would wear them myself happily.
My number is 158.
I would wear them. They are lovely! I love the colors. My number is 234.
I love the socks just as they are and just my size. I would wear them to my pilates class for everyone to admire.
My number is 160
What will I do??? Hmm….I’ll likely give them to my mother in law since the measurements are exactly hers! She’s diabetic and I have been wanting to knit her a pair of socks forever….I’m a slacker daughter in law though. Heh. Must work on that.
Random number….233.
Maybe it’s my monitor, but I kind of like these. Unlike many of the other commenters, I don’t have a higher purpose – I would wear these myself.
Both of my favorite numbers have already been selected so I’m going with number 163.
(ps – love the pattern name)
I actually think these socks are kind of cool–but I have a 13 yr old GD and I think she would just Love them– so I would give them to her if I won them.
My # is 213

#165
I would wear them myself—enjoy them, have downloaded the pattern and would use the socks as a ‘visual’ WITH the pattern in order to construct another pair so that I might have TWO/TWO/TWO pair to enjoy! -zj-
Alright, first of all, those socks are GORGEOUS! I was just thinking yesterday about how I still haven’t finished my first pair of socks and how lovely would it be have my own hand-knitted socks. So, I would wear them and I would love them. They look like Fall to me, my favorite season. The pattern looks very comfy as well.
The other gorgeous yarn is just icing on the cake, you had me at ‘free socks’. My number, let’s go with 84, it’s always been a good # for me. Ha, what a fun idea!
Of course I would wear them with pleasure! We now gave a total of 203 inches of snow here in the UP of Michigan and I can just imagine how nice and toasty those socks would be..
How about number 75
I would wear them! No one has ever made me socks but me and these are my size! I’ll pick number 12.
If these socks were too big for me which I think they might be I would give them to my sister-in-law that is always doing things for me and she loves hand knit socks.
My number is 202
I would probably use them as a Christmas gift for my DIL because of the size (unless by chance they would fit me-LOL)
I pick number 113.
First of all they are my size 9.5. Secondly you posted this contest on my anniversary. And thirdly I love the color combination of both the socks and the yarn dyed by you. So here is hoping I pick the right number. I pick 221.
I love these socks! Just goes to show that we all have different tastes!! I will wear them myself.
I choose number 222.
I like those socks! Perhaps it’s the picture, but the orange doesn’t look ORANGE. Where would I wear them? To watch “The Exorcist” of course.
I choose #46.
They are way to big for my feet so I will offer them to my child’s skating coach, who has complained about having cold feet when she skates.
I love the skein you dyed. It’s beautiful. My number choice is 223.
I would be selfish and keep them to do barn chores… I am sure the 4-leggers would love them. And you could come and visit them (the socks of course) when ever you miss them.
My number is 23
The socks formerly known as hideous would stay with me. I have no (NONE!) hand knit socks, as my previous attempts to knit them have not turned out well. My magic number is 203.
I would wear them because I love wearing the socks you knit. They keep my tootsies cozy warm.
*88 is my number..

I would like these socks to ski. I would like to knit the other yarn for ski socks too as I LOVE skiing and need warm socks. I am 12 years old and have been knitting since I was give.
Thank you for considering me.
