Hi, it's eKNITabeth again...
The 52 Pair Plunge was certainly a challenge... but folks have been asking for an encore!

Welcome to 52PP II!

The Challenge
- Knit 52 pairs of socks in one calendar year (midnight 1 June 2008 - midnight 1 June 2009)
- Socks may be any pattern, any yarn, any size (baby, child, adult) -- leg warmers, knitted boots, slippers, etc. do not count because they are not socks!

• your website address (if applicable)

- You will receive a confirmation email by 1 June 2008 (& the first 99 participants will receive an invitation to be an author on the 52PP II website)
- Start knitting!

The Benefits
- You, your friends, your family members, and maybe even some strangers (yay charities!) will end up with warm feet
- You can bounce questions and ideas off other knitters
- You can learn and perfect new techniques
- You can try/write/share that pattern you've been dreaming about
- You can finally prove to people that you really are off the DEEP END... hehehe
