\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I thought it’d be fun to have a little contest. The rules are simple:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Guess how many skeins are in the photo (including what’s cut off in the bottom box)<\/li>\n
  2. Follow me on Twitter.<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Tweet to me how many skeins you think are there.<\/li>\n
  4. Whoever guesses right first wins. If no one guesses correctly by the time I arrive in London tomorrow at about 8am GMT, whoever guessed closest first wins.<\/li>\n
  5. If you guess more than once, only your last guess will count.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The prize is your choice of one of the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. signed copy of Knit. Sock. Love.<\/a> book + pdf<\/li>\n
    2. Little Red in the City<\/a> by Ysolda Teague*<\/li>\n
    3. Knit, Swirl!<\/a> by Sandra McIver<\/li>\n
    4. The Enchanted Sole<\/a> by Janel Laidman*<\/li>\n

    8. A guaranteed spot in next year’s sock club and $25 off<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      *I’m pretty sure I can get it signed for you at Knit Nation or Sock Summit.<\/p>\n

      **I have a sock pattern<\/a> in this book.<\/p>\n
