Go ahead and take a button! You can make it a link on Friday.

There is no limit to the number of participants! I will post a link to the sign-up page (which will ask for your name and various addresses) on Friday. Don’t sign up in the comments! There will be a link to the sign-up page at the appropriate time. Matches will be delivered Friday, March 28, 2008. You will have all weekend to knit your sock so that it is ready for the mail on Monday, March 31. International knitters are welcome to play and shoe size doesn’t matter.

Confused? What is a Wee Tiny Sock Swap you ask? Well, let me just fill you in:

The Wee Tiny Sock Swap is the fastest, cheapest, cutest swap in blogland. Participants knit a single Wee Tiny Sock out of leftover sock yarn (the pattern is here) and mail it to their sock pal. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, it’s the only swap that takes an hour and a half and the price of a postage stamp to participate!

To read more about the history of the Wee Tiny Sock Swap, please follow this link. You can also view many of the 2007 Wee Tiny Socks on the Flickr.

I encourage you to spread the word! Wee Tiny Socks for everyone!

    I guess that means I’ve been reading your blog for a year now, as it was through someone’s link to you about the Wee Sock Swap that I first discovered you. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year! 🙂

    Alllllllll right. I have been waiting for the most fun swap to start up again. I have mine from last year, I turned into a pin. Perfect for meets
    I don’t know how you manage to find the time for setting these things up

    Yay you! This should be fun!

    I do have a question though. On the cuff-down pattern there’s a dead link to a toe-up wee tiny sock pattern. Might that link be resurrected? I’m hoping to entice my niece into this, and I think she might prefer toe-up. But hey, she’s young — she’ll get over cuff-down!
