We're nearing the end of the Sockalong, and we think it's about time to host a giveaway here on the Alpaca Direct blog! This giveaway is open for everyone, whether or not you're participating in the Sockalong.
You can still join the Sockalong in the Alpaca Direct Ravelry Group.
You can also catch up with all our previous blog posts:

August 14: Adding Patterns to Your SocksGiveaway
Enter for your chance to win Sock Blockers! These are used for blocking your socks after you've finished knitting them to help even out the stitches, shape the socks, and make sure they are nice and clean before their first wearing.
To enter leave a comment on this post telling us about your sock knitting experiences. Haven't knit socks yet? Tell us what's holding you back! Want to know more about knitting socks, and have a question for us? Is there a sock related topic you think we should do a tutorial on?
We'll choose one lucky winner on Sunday, August 31. Good luck!

last year’s historically cold and snowy winter kept me indoors, too, too much. so that i could feel productive, i took an online sock knitting class. the rest is history, my addiction, my over stacked sock drawer, etc lol. sock blockers would be a great addition to my craft!

I’d love to win these! I have yet to knit a pair of socks because I am afraid of DPNs and don’t know the magic loop method or how to knit with 2 circs. These would give me more of an incentive to learn! :)

I love knitting socks. Fast, easy projects that are great for on-the-go knitting. I usually have 1 in my purse and 1 in the car as you never know when there will be downtime, and I hate to have a knitting emergency (nothing to work on)!

This is my first pair of socks, and it’s been a real learning experience. Trying to juggle small needles, small yarn, and fiddly bits like double wraps has been an exercise in patience and precision! I would recommend that a first time sock knitter use a larger yarn, like worsted, so that everything is on a bigger scale! This has been fun and a good motivator because I’ve wanted to get sock knitting into my knitting repertoire…and the first is always the hardest.

Props to you for diving in with small yarn and needles on your first pair of socks! We’d love to see a photo, you can share it with us on Ravelry or Facebook.
