Description:

For this swap, you will knit ONE sock. You will then send that sock to your partner with enough yarn to complete the other one. I want people who have been scared to try sock knitting to try, so it is listed as a challenge. :)

Make sure to read yardage requirements. Although gauge varies, count on needing about 400 yards to complete a set.

Please use a good quality sock yarn. If you pick a self striping yarn, it will have all sorts of colors in it! I'm not making this profile based, so you can go ahead and start. This swap has a short sign up time with a long turn around time to make sure that you have ample time to finish your sock. I'm happy to help if you encounter any issues.

Please use the free "very vanilla" sock pattern from craftsy. I posted the link in the forum. It's a lovely, yet simple sock pattern and is very easy to follow. If you have questions, it's easy enough I can help long distance. :)

I know this swap is knitter centric .... Please feel free to post a crochet type swap. :)

Rating: This is supposed to be a FUN and FRIENDLY swap. If you cannot complete this swap, please don't sign up. There is enough lead time that you can try it before you must commit.
If you receive a sock from the designated pattern, and enough yarn to finish it, please rate a five. Gauge varies.... So consider that a part of the fun of this! If you are unable to complete the sock, send your partner 400+ yards of quality sock yarn and be rated a three.

If you flake, I will remove you from the group. It would be awful to be expecting something made with friendship and get nothing.

Contact me if you have questions. I'm making this swap international so anyone can join.

If I need to extend the deadlines, please lmk and I will.

@knitterofhats ..... would extending the deadline help? I am off for the summer, but I know others aren't. LMK what works for you. :)
