Participating in the Sockdown Challenge has actually paid off for me.  I know, I was whining about it two weeks ago, but honestly, I'm glad that I'm knitting socks.  I enjoy knitting socks (can you tell?) and I'm WINNING!  And not just in a Charlie Sheen crazy kind of way.  See that picture down there?

I won that.  It's a Knit Sack from Peg's Procrastination and it has a TON of goodies on it.  First, there is a clip on the drawstring, so I could potentially clip it to my belt look so I didn't have to carry it.  Second, it has a row counter on the drawstring.  Very useful, that.  The bag opens up plenty wide for storing your WIPs.  There is a handy pocket inside.  It has a key ring on the inside with, this is my favorite, stitch markers attached to it.  And the best part, there is a handy little loop for threading your yarn through before you begin a project.  Just helps to keep the ball inside the bag.  All in all, a phenomenal prize for knitting a pair of socks back in October.

But to top the WINNING! off, I also won a prize for my January socks.  I haven't received it yet, but it is a month of Enchanted Knoll's Happy Hooves Sock Yarn club.  I think that's pretty spiffy and totally WINNING!
