In honor of my one-year anniversary of blogging and my birthday (see 2/20), I'm having a blog contest with a cool prize...... the winner will receive enough Kauni yarn to make Ruth's really cute knit skirt*!! Oooo, Ahhhh. The colorway is EC - the black with variations of grey - it looks good on everyone, and I have it on good authority that Stephanie will be making the very same skirt in the same colorway. How do I know?? Well, not only has she already posted it on her blog (yes, that was me in the picture of the Kaunis) but we were in Ruth Sorensen's class all day on Friday at Madrona at the same table and chatted pretty much all day. I'm waffling between the grey/black and the denim. I just can't decide, and I really don't need two of the same skirt.
Okay, here's what you have to do. Below is a picture of all of my sock yarn. The question is this. How many pairs of socks can I make? There are a few duplicate balls/skeins, such as Louet Gems and some yarn from elann that needs one skein per sock. To clarify, I'm not asking how many balls/skeins there are, but how many pairs of socks (regular size 7 1/2 woman's foot) does this picture represent?? I also will not be making socks from the leftovers......
*The winner will need to buy the pattern from Ruth's website.
In other news, I'm still recovering from Madrona. I was talking to a coworker today to see how she was recovering, and I mentioned it was almost like recovering from an illness or surgery. I still feel walloped around 5 in the afternoon. I don't want to make this an extremely long post so I'll talk about Madrona 2008 next time.
Good luck guessing on the sock yarn - I'll close the contest on Wednesday and post a winner.
Have a great day!

Happy Blogiversary!
I wish my sock yarn stash looked that good! I'm guessing 31!
I'll take a stab at 49. That's probably high, but hey - no one has guessed that yet.
Congrats on your anniversary. I'm guessing there is enough yarn for 52 pairs, one pair for each week of the year.
I was going to guess 35 but that was taken, so I'll guess 36.
I'm guessing a really high number - 150
:)
I'll guess 25. Let's hear it for knitted skirts!
Happy Blogiversary!! Lucky girl, i had to work through Madrona...again!! i am guessing 53 pair of socks!
I'm going high and assuming that most of the skeins knit a pair of socks and I'll say 45. (Besides, it hasn't been taken, yet.)
52 sounds good. Happy Blogiversary and I'm envious of your sock yarn stash!
However many there are, it's amazing. I'm going to guess high - 92 pairs.
Happy blogiversary.
Hiya & thanks for the contest. I'm going to guess 47 pairs.

I am going to go with 37 pairs. I love the sight of your yarns there - it's great!
Happy Blogiversary!
I was drooling over that skirt on the Yarn Harlot's website just a few days ago, so definitely want to join in on the fun!
All I have to say is that's a whole lot of sock yarn...I'm impressed! So my guess is 75 pairs of socks.
My guess is 36 pairs
That is a lot of sock wool. You could do mittens..but I digress.
My guess is 51 pairs.
And Happy Anniversary.
