First Sock Design Contest Winners and Second Sock Pattern Contest Info

Finally, the news you've all been waiting for -- the announcement of the first Hill Country Yarns Sock Pattern Contest!!!

As you know, back in March, we launched our first Hill Country Yarns Sock Pattern Contest and every single submission we received was incredible. Our judges had an extremely hard time narrowing down the winners to only one winner per yarn type, but narrow it down they did. Without further ado, the winners of the first Hill Country Yarns Sock Pattern Contest are:

  • First place (winner of $100 worth of Hill Country Yarns): Holly Oshesky -- Sweet Pea Socks
  • Second place (winner of $50 worth of Hill Country Yarns): Tyler Macek -- Vineyard Lace Socks
  • Third place (winner of $25 worth of Hill Country Yarns): Aimee Abernathy -- Lotus Blossom Socks

In exchange for their winnings, these winners have allowed Hill Country Yarns the distinct honor of including each of their winning patterns in each of our 3 Hill Country Yarns Sock Club (series one) installments. These beautiful patterns are Hill Country Yarns exclusive patterns that are available only through our Hill Country Yarns Sock Club (series one). Unfortunately, sock club sign ups for series one are now closed, however our second series sign ups begin December 1st, 2008 so mark your calendars now!

Congratulations to all of our Hill Country Yarns Sock Pattern Contest winners and thanks to all who entered the contest!

Our second Hill Country Yarns Pattern Contest is scheduled to launch September 1st, 2007, so please check back then for details!
