Beware!

Zombies, Vampires, Mutant Beings, Aliens, And classic Horror Characters brought to life in Socks!
These are socks that may just “go Bump in the night”!

SM2 ended and the twisted knitters who love to knit a pair of socks in 24 hours, had an idea. SCARY SOCKS!


We will be having sign ups in August for those who wish to compete. We will be knitting the socks socks in September and October, hopefully a pattern a week or every 10 days...so submit patterns!

if you are not on Ravelry, you can email patterns to me, just comment with your contact info. On Ravelry? just PM me or leave a comment on the thread.

Prizes will be awarded to Sock Finishers for creative knitting and photo taking.


Pattern submissions and prize donations are currently being accepted.

Patterns will need to be test knit before Super Sock Scarefest begins, so please submit design ideas now!

Stung Again!

Super Bonus Pattern!

we wound up with some great patterns! actually too many patterns!

so here is a bonus, a pre scarefest knit off for an extra prize!

based on the film from 1959, The Wasp Woman.

Scared Yet?

“To invent you need a good imagination and a pile of junk”
Thomas Edison

While I think many knitters would gasp to hear yarn and needles grouped into a junk category, there have been some wonderful imaginations pouring over graph paper, pencils, swatches, and even the more hi tech stitch programs. I am very pleased to announce that there are some challenging and wonderful patterns!

Every 10 days…so that you can plan accordingly, a new pattern will be released.
A tally will be kept for Fastest, Most Original Interpretation, Scariest Socks and for those who are doing something unknown and scary for the first time (cables, lace, intarsia) or if this is your first sock ever. I think a congeniality prize should also be available, where you will vote on the most encouraging knitter. This is open to both the participants and group observers (must be a member of the Rav group).

You must follow the pattern as it is written. I hope you will find this to be a great opportunity to learn some new techniques.

This group will be mostly on Ravelry.com . if you are not a member, join now. It will take 2-3 days for your membership to be activated. So don’t wait until the last minute.

August 23 or so the supply list will be posted on both the blog and ravelry so that you can plan ahead and stock up if need be on any sock yarns. We know this is a great excuse to shop. Participants will be given a 13% discount at several “shops” so keep an eye out!
A participant list will be posted on the group so that participants and observers will be in separate categories. PM me with your desire to participate in the KALs and get the 13% discount.

How it will work or everyone gets to play!

every one who signs up will get a chance to win something.

it will be a point system.
