SOCK CLUB PREVIEW!

okay everyone...officially fourteen days till the launch. The contest to win a free sock club opens today. I'll list all the fun stuff then the rules.

Photo Scavenger Hunt
You will need to take the following six photos:

1. A picture of you holding up as many needles/crochet hooks as you can without using your hands. Sticking needles through clothing doesn't count. If we can't see them in the picture, doesn't count and it can only be 1 picture.
2. Go to your local yarn shop and ask to bury the owner in as much of her stock as she will let you.
3. An alternate to 2.: Use yarn as an artistic medium in a photograph. An example would be like using the sock club preview image, with a piece of yarn as the sustenance of the brunch plate.
4. How many center pull balls can you hold on top of your head?
5. Knitted/Crocheted Graffiti. 'Tag' something out in public with a bit of knitted graffiti...but nothing illegal, you'll be disqualified for it. :( When in doubt, graffiti something you own.
6. Knitting/Crocheting in public.
7. Knitting/Crocheting with another medium other than string. Like if it was possible, to knit coffee cups.

Okay, those are all the pictures you will need to take. Now, here's the fun part....essay time! (oh, stop groaning!) It's a lurv essay. "How Ravelry has impacted my life." ohh, the plot thickens, so what's this sock club all about? It's The All Raveled Up Sock Club. My hope is to raise a lot of money to give back to Jess and Casey for how they've impacted my life and help keep ravelry going strong and give them what they need because they've already done it for so many people. (Okay, mush, need a moment!) The colorways are going to be Ravelry inspired. More on exactly what the names and everything else.

Okay, now for the rules. The submissions must be your own, original, untouched work. If we find our they are not, you will be disqualified. You do not have to purchase to win, however, if you do purchase a club and you win, you have the option of having the money returned back to you or donating all or part of your club fee to the Ravelry donation. I'll see about getting a little thermostat thing as well to show what will be being donated to them...my goal is to get it as high as I can!

Submission dates: March 1st to April 15th. Winner will be announced on April 30th. Odds of winning depend on submissions. Incomplete submissions will be disqualified. There may or may not be notification of disqualification. Please send submissions to: bluehandsfibers AT gmail DOT com

So that's it for now, I'm working on building up the stuff for the etsy store for these to purchase. Oh, and quick note too on the sock club. The yarn is my standard, Sock Yarn base, the three ply merino super wash. Very yummy and squishy!
