Are You Ready To Sock?

It's the international death by sock loser takes all championship. It begins within the next 24 hours (have yet to find out if that's going to be done by time zone..) with our host in Ireland emailing the needed information to over 700 sock knitters world wide.
I'm off gauge. 6st/in when I need 5.5! Tomorrow, I'll either seek the next size up needles or just try out the Jo Sharp Dk hiding in my stash. The yarn I bought for this (which isn't nearly such a bright red) seems lightweight for a DK, more of a sport -I hadn't realized that in the store. Either way, I shall be ready for the tournament!
