2nd Prize: a skein of Knit it Up sock yarn
3rd Prize: a skein of Knit it Up sock yarn

I knew there was a reason I waited to join the Pride and Prejudice sock club in October. *sigh* Colin Firth. And, after all, IT IS Pride and Prejudice.

Socktoberfest sounds like so much more fun than Oktoberfest (at least when you're much more into yarn than into beer, like me ;)
