WIPs count. I have a few of those. And baby socks count and I know way too many little ones being born this year. I'm also way behind on Christmas knitting, and everyone in my family loves socks.
I think my biggest challenge will be not getting distracted by other gorgeous items to knit. We'll see how I do.
I prepped by winding yarn today!
And by buying a new book yesterday at Purlescence, Think Outside the Sox
. Such inspiration in these socks!!
I also gathered all my sock WIPs. I had forgotten about this one. Burst in The Plucky Knitter Superwash Merino Wool, colorway Father Goose.
Plus there is also Summer of Socks, so bring on the socks!!
But I know you all are really here to find out who won the Sock-a-licous contest! First, our fabulous winners who rewrote Fergalicous for us! You guys did an awesome job :) Loved them all!

Congrats to all the winners!
52 pair of socks sure is a huge goal! If anyone can do it, it's you. I'm looking forward to watching you do it while I cheer you on from the sidelines!
52 pairs! Whoa!!! I bet you can do it though! That's a great book you got too. DH gave me a copy for my B-day with some sox sticks :-)
Congrats to the winners. I can't even seem to manage 12 pairs from stash in a year, so go you!!
congrats to the winner! That Burst sock is gorgeous! Good luck on your goal!
I have to lie down just thinking abobut all those socks. 104 socks in total. I admire your goal, I could do 104 just that none of them would match. Looking forward to seeing you succeed
i got think outside the sox and i loooooooooooooove it! what a great book.
oh and carrie, you're nuts :-P
mwah!
Thanks for the pattern, I can't wait to try it. 52 pair of socks in a year..I think that's great. I can't wait to see what patterns you choose to do. I've made 4 pair just this month..I'm newly addicted.
I can't even knit a sock a week, let alone a pair! It's a great goal for those of you who can speed knit!
I am in awe of those who do the 52 Pair Plunge. While I pretty much always have an active sock project, I would be hard pressed to do more than about 6 pairs a year
If the Plunge seems beyond the beyond, you might want to try the 1 Pair Dip (huttp://www.ravelry.com/groups/1-pair-dip) on Ravelry.
I'm very sad for me, but congrats to Kathleen!
