sock pentathlon

A day before the announcement of the needed material for the first round I want to write about this.
It oficially starts on March 1. and we are supposed to post our finished socks in the yahoo group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skp2008

I guess you can still sign up if you like, and be in the fun.

It will take place the year over and every 2 months there will be a new challenge, so at the end each participant hopefully has 5 pairs of fun new socks and (s)he does not have to send them away, they are all theirs.

The patterns will be medium in the complexity level, but maybe introducing new techniques or styles.

All in all it sounds doable and might help me to focus on one project at a time, so I can lose some of my scatteredness and finally have some 'me' knitting after all those last projects for others :-)
