Here she is, Ms. Dogs Steal Yarn Sock 2005

Ms. GWTF: I want to thank each and every one of you who voted for me. When Cari Kitchenered the toe of my second sock, I expected a quiet life, a modest life lived in the sock drawer and in Cari's cute little red shoes. Now, thanks to you, I have a greater purpose. It is my hope that we will see the scourge of Second Sock Syndrome defeated in my lifetime. I will work tirelessly to remind knitters of their responsibility to finish what they start. I will work tirelessly...but not yet. It's hot out there and I'm wearing cashmere. I'll see you in the fall. Late fall, most likely.

October! Our crusade begins in October! But first, a long nap. Um, Cari? Is there air conditioning in that sock drawer?

You neglected to tell us who the runner-up is, in the event Ms. GWTF cannot fulfill her duties as Ms. Dogs Steal Yarn Sock 2005.

I'm upset about my sock losing.

Congrats to GWTF! Wear the crown with pride. See you next year!

I love it. But what about visiting other nations to lead the fight against Second Sock Syndrome?

*applause* *applause*... could there ever have been another winner?

Hurrah! I win.

Oh, and thanks for the sock tip you left on my blog, Cari.

the crowd roars

wild clapping erupts

and Ms GWTF promises to achieve world sock peace between self-striping, plain and variegated socks.

Damn. Oh well, I guess it was unrealistic to expect world peace from a pageant winner anyway.

How about a little encore Flamenco number??

I've heard rumors that one of the leading sock tabloids has pictures of Ms. GWTF in various stages of lurid unravelling. I would imagine they are false documents, and I can recommend a good sock attorney.

The one...the only! May you be successful on your quest. There should never the SSS anywhere in Blogland (or the world for that matter). Enjoy your hiatis and come back strong in the fall!

those are THE most adoreable cute sock pictures I've seen in a blog ever! They are tempting me to pick up sock knitting. I have knitted for more than 30 years (nearly "all" my life thihi..) but only maybe 1 and 1/2 sock.. Tanks for sharing! yes I will definitely knit a sock or two soon, thanks to you. And btw - I find your blog amazing - one of the best!! :)
