And the winner is...

The random number generator has picked Barbara Shade as our winner! Thanks to everyone who sent me their foot measurements. Even though the contest is over, we would love for you to send us more foot measurements of any man who's feet you have access to-- they don't have to be club members themselves.

Thanks!

Men's Foot Sizing Database

We are working on a database of men’s foot sizes and would love all your input. If you can take a minute to measure your foot and/or the feet of any men nearby, we would REALLY appreciate it. In fact, we would appreciate it so much that on April 7th, one week from today, we will randomly select one person who responded and send you a free skein of yarn.

So here is what we need:

US Men’s Size

foot length from back of heel

circumference around ball of foot

circumference at widest part of calf and measurement from this point to bottom of heel

circumference around ankle (where the foot pivots)

You can respond to this post with the information (and your name or email address please!) or email me at laura@theuniquesheep.com. Thanks!!

Spoiler Image

About half of our members have received their packages now, but it will still be a while before all our of international members have their kits. So if you'd like to post pictures in your Ravelry notebook or anywhere else, please use this spoiler image as the "cover" photo or at the beginning of your blog post. That way other members won't accidentally catch sight of the kit before theirs arrives. Thanks!

p.s. if you need help using this image, leave a comment.

First Shipment

The international packages will ship out tomorrow (Tuesday) and the rest will follow by the end of the week. A lot of people look forward to the surprise of opening a box filled with unknown gifts, so be careful about what you say on this blog or in the Ravelry group. There will be a "Spoiler" thread in the Ravelry thread where we can talk about the package, so if you want to be surprised don't open that thread! Once all the packages have been received we will post an "all clear" here on the blog and you'll know its safe to share photos and talk about the project wherever you want.

Thanks!
