Well, I thought counting all those sock pairs might be a bit challenging, but it seemed to prove a bit more difficult than planned. I should have mentioned that it didn't include booties, but everyone figured that out, so no harm. The key to counting was to find the 100th pair shown in my Ravelry projects and go from there - along the way noting the fact that in the mix was a single sock knit as a Knitch shop sample.
Out of all the entries, there was only ONE correct answer - which was 143 pairs of socks. So, ikkinlala wins the beeeg prize. (He or she did not list a name or blog, but should feel free to do so in the comments to this post.)
I used the ever impartial random.org to pick a number from the rest of the entries. The winner of the two skeins of Regia sock yarn is Cher.
Both winners have been notified via email.
Thanks to everyone for playing! I'm hard at work on #144. There will certainly be another contest when I hit 150. Wonder how long that will take????
The weather here continues its roller coaster ride. 73 on Saturday, it was snowing this morning. No accumulation, but certainly very weird. The re-warm up should start again tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's been a long, cold, strange winter.
I'm doing a Baktus too. That Bristol yarn looks fabulous.

Congratulations to everyone!
I hope it warms up too! We're getting all the rain you guys didn't get last year. Ugh.

Fooled by the single sock! :) 143 is still quite impressive! We are having similar weather conditions...60's one day, snow the next and then hard frost appearing each morning the last 3 days. I keep thinking of planting veggies and I'm convinced it's Mother Nature's way of saying be patient and remember what your growing season is!

I canNOT believe I missed the contest!!!! Pluey to my computer problems!!! But I'm happy for those that won. Ok you are having wacko weather too, but more so than us. It was GORGEOUS on the wknd, but today?? VERY cold! You couldn't stand outside for very long w/o a jacket, even in the sun! BUT we didn't have snow!!! That is just wrong! Wonder how long it's going to be before we start complaining abt the heat.....
