"Think Outside The Sox" is a year long contest where you have an opportunity to win a grand prize of $6,000 by designing and knitting an original sock!  "Think Outside The Sox" was just launched at Stitches West to a receptive crowd and the excitement continues in our little corner of the world!

There are yarn company sponsors in addition to XRX.  Each has established their own contest categories for contestants too, so there are even more opportunities to win!  

We are very excited to be a premier "Sox Hot Spot" for Skacel!  In addition to the grand prize, Skacel has 4 categories increasing your chances of winning.  If you enter the contest and purchase the yarn from ...have you any Wool?, please list our shop on your entry form because if you win, the shop wins too!  In addition, if you win and our shop is listed on your entry form, you'll receive a $100.00 gift certificate to ...have you any Wool!  Please visit www.thinkoutsidethesox.com for more information or stop in and pick up your entry form. 

As we mentioned above, we're a premier "Sox Hot Spot" for Skacel.  What does that mean exactly?  It means that you won't be disappointed if you come here looking for sock yarn!  We have some of your favorites from Skacel including "Step", "Trekking", "Fortissima Colori", and "Trekking Hand Art".  The Skacel categories for the contest are:  "Socks to Dye For", "Step into the Future", "Teddy Bear Footwear" and "It's good to get Hosed!".  The winner in each category will receive $500.00 cash and a complete set of Addi Turbo or Addi Turbo Lace Needles in all three lengths!  The winners will also be featured in an ad in Knitters' Magazine!  Creativity reigns with this contest so put on your thinking caps, pick up your needles and start "knitting outside the box".
